“The HD video converter works great. The result is fine and the workflow is easy. I did however have some problems to begin with because I hadn’t checked the box with de-interlacing, but I searched your website for a solution for the weird (poor) conversion quality and found the answer there. The multiple format menu is good. I find it easy to select and customize. Some helping text at the conversion settings items would help to understand the consequences of a customization.” – Brooks Betts
