Daniusoft Video Converter Free Review
Daniusoft Video Converter Free is a multimedia suite that combines two of the most popular Daniusoft applications: a DVD ripper and a video converter. The program can convert between various video formats like AVI, XviD, MPEG, WMV, FLV, MOV, RM and other HD formats, extract audio from video into MP3, WAV or WMA files, take snapshots of movie scenes and save them as JPG or BMP images, trim video segments, crop the screen, add special effects (gray, emboss, negative, old film) or a watermark and adjust image brightness, contrast, saturation.
The application supports batch conversion and lets you merge several titles into a single file. You can also customize output settings: frame rate, bitrate, encoder, resolution, zoom and audio output settings (sample rate, channel, encoder, etc.). Moreover, you can select predefined profiles for the most common portable devices and players like iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, Zune, PSP, PS3, Walkman, Blackberry mobile phone, Creative Zen and others or manually configure them.
The user interface is clean and intuitive. You can import the video clips using the file browser, treeview or "drag and drop" method, choose one of the available profiles and start the encoding process with a click of a button. The program requires a moderate amount of computer resources to perform the encoding job and delivers good results. Compared to iWisoft Video Converter, the application used less CPU and RAM during our tests, but still converted videos at a fast pace.
