XMedia Recode can only convert unprotected DVDs. I think it's not so good for reputation, in an age when there are lots of free programs that can do similar stuff.XMedia Recode (Portbale 64-bit) can convert almost all known audio and video formats, including 3GP, 3GPP, 3GPP2, AAC, AC3, AMR, ASF, AVI, AVISynth, DVD, FLAC, FLV, H.261, H.263, H.264, M4A, m1v, M2V, M4V, Matroska (MKV), MMF, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, TS, TRP, MP2, MP3, MP4, MP4V, MOV, OGG, PSP, (S) VCD, SWF, VOB, WAV, WMA and WMV. So I was not surprised after getting a giveaway that has this inescapable "Upgrade to King Level" window popping up every time you want to close the program. Why can they for example, if they want you to buy their software, at least allow one to have a demo version with full features for a limited time or think of some other limitation other than splashing Freemake text across it?Īnyway, that is another issue, but that tarnished the image I had about Freemake. I immediately removed it and got another converter that did the job without any strings or "ropes" attached. To my dismay they had some logo or text of Freemake across them and something else I do not remember was not OK! They were not usable anyway. I quickly wanted to convert some relatively short 2 WMV files, each 18mb to mp4 & got the free version of the converter. I have been a long time user of the Video downloader, free version and I'm quite happy with it and know Freemake makes good stuff and thought the free version of their software is all usable. It reminds me of a recent unconnected encounter a few days ago with the free version of this converter. Once you try to close the program, there's this unavoidable pop-up offering the Gold Pack! Why if you are giving a full version do you leave this nagging window there? I would understand this if it was in the free version. It is good that Freemake gives this Super Speed Pack as a Giveaway, but it leaves me with some bitter taste all the same.
