Wondershare Video Converter Pro 6.0

Wondershare Video Converter Pro is a very complete video conversion utility. It is an ideal tool for users who want to convert their video files to other formats so that they can play them on different computers and multimedia playback devices. The application managed to strike a balance between robustness and ease of use. The graphical user interface was re-designed to make it even simpler than before, but even though the user doesn't see a bunch of buttons and menus everywhere, like it is often the case with other converters, the features are all there. This converter has features that I have not seen in other converters.

Wondershare has always made good converters, but this one is truly great. It includes both a powerful video converter and a very useful video downloader in a single package. There is also a smooth video player that lets you play content that you downloaded or your videos, before you download them. Most video converters have video players, but they often are slow and cumbersome when playing files. This one works like a charm and has features that you would only normally find in a standalone video player, like playlist support and full-screen mode.

I tested the video converter by downloading a 720p HD file from YouTube.com. I was amazed at how fast the process was, and the quality of the downloaded file was excellent. I then converted this file to an HD H.264 file, so that I could play it on my iPad, and, yet again, the process was smooth and very simple. more
