Freemake Video Converter Editor's Review

Freemake Video Converter is a free video converter (and basic video editor) that was designed to be easy to use and understand. As a plus to video conversion, the application offers conversion for audio files, DVDs and photos. 

At first sight, Freemake offers a simple visually appealing Mac-like interface with large media buttons at the top of the program for Video, Audio, DVD, and Photo. In front of each button there is a plus symbol that indicates that's how you can add your media files into the program. At the bottom, there is a set of soft keys that lets you select the format you want to convert your media files into. 

To get started converting a media file, you just have to hit the large video button at the top of the program and then browse your computer to find the file that you want to convert. Once you select a file, it will appear on a list into the program. You can select numerous files at once and convert them in a batch. To continue, simple click on one of the output options (AVI, MP4, WMV, 3GP, DVD, MP3 and YouTube) at the bottom of the program to begin the conversion process or 'Edit' to start editing the file in case you have selected a video file. 

Beside the wide variety of video files that you can convert, Freemake Video Converter offers audio conversion, photos conversion and an option that lets you upload videos to YouTube automatically. 

Pluses: You can back up your DVDs into video formats; it's very easy to use and understand, it's freeware; 

Drawbacks / flaws: Require the latest version of Microsoft Windows .NET which can take quite a while to download and install, in case you don’t already have it installed 

In conclusion: It’s an advanced, easy to use application that I like very much – try it with trust.
