Excellent for Converting your videos

Well first of all there are many formats that my DVD does not read them and with freemaker I can convert the movie that is of my preference and can see it on my television.

PROS

Freemaker allows you to convert videos from MPEG, MP3, MP4, WMV, APPLE, AVI, DVD, Highly recommended to shorten videos and edit them in the following formats and change the size of the video you want to convert or edit.

CONS

When you have.the version.free the application.places a watermark in the movie that is quite annoying, as well as converting the videos to any format usually takes too much time converting them.

Convert Your Videos using Freemake Video Converter

I recommend this software for any user.

PROS

I have used Freemake Video Converter for several years. Sometimes we film the process of an experiment we perform in the laboratory using different cameras and cell phones. To reduce the size of video clips and change the format of them, I use Freemake Video Converter. It is simple and quick. You can process so many file formats using this software. I think it is software needed in any PC.

CONS

I think it is an application that works well in its field. Maybe adding some other formats to its features would be the best.

Don't Let them fool you too!!

Overall this is the worse experience I had with the customer service and an application in general. DON"T LET THEM FOOL YOU!! You can get better video converters for less money and a pleasant service.

PROS

I didn't like anything about this program. First, you have to pay for eliminating the brand, then you pay to get the packet to be able to convert. After paying $60 for those two things they didn't work. Computer crashes the same day (not sure if because of this program)and wasn't able to recover it. Downloaded the program in other computer and asked them for the keys I just bought for the computer I crashed. They sent keys that never worked. Tired of asking them for a key that works I asked for my money back since I wasn't able to use the paid program at all. They said the have a non refund policy. Obviously, a NON REFUND POLICY is given only for those who knows their program is a shitty program.

CONS

I wasn't able to use it, but their customer service sucks.

Freemake Video Converter: Converting with options

PROS

There are a plethora of features with this product that make it an attractive buy. It allows ripping and burning of both DVDs and Blu Rays, converting to 4k and full HD online, uploading to YouTube, embedding to websites. It's a variety of useful tools in one for your conversion needs. It also happens to be incredibly fast, saving you time in the process while allows options such as choosing between 500+ formats! That's incredible. Also, you can buy the gold version, or simple get basic access for free.

CONS

There is no version for mobile phones. When installing, it sneakily tries to lull you into installing Conduit search toolbar and SweetPacks adware detector, keeping the opt out option in gray, which some users may think isn't an available as an option. Those sneaky business decisions are a turn-off for me, but it can be overlooked.

Great and efficient product!

PROS

first, there is a free version, so that's a huge plus. Like its predecessor, video downloader, you can actually pull and reencode even from online hosts like youtube. The encoding and converting of video is lightening fast offline also. I've yet to throw a format at it that it cannot handle, even some exotic ones. It includes some light tools as well, like cutting and such. Even burns to BD-R!

CONS

I wish it included a few more editing tools, but that's a minor issues as I just do it in final cut pro.

Review of freemake

Freemake allowed us to quickly convert videos for our users.

PROS

Freemake video converter as its name says it is a useful converter to convert big videos into smaller ones to be shared via different drives.

CONS

Since a change of version, the conversion are all done with a watermark at the bottom of the screen with the free version.

If you can figure out what paid options you need (and get them cheap) this is a good product

I was able to burn DVDs and also subtitles with the purchase of two packs, and managed to get them as one-off purchases not a subscription, which meant I was able to accomplish the tasks I needed without paying too much. Overall that's a positive experience, although had I not been careful and waited to see what offers they had, I might have paid a lot more.

PROS

Freemake can assemble video clips into DVD format - I found it hard to find any other reasonably priced product that can do so. It's simple to use and does what it says it does.

CONS

The licensing model is super confusing, and it's tricky to know what combination of "packs" you need to buy in order to get the functionality you need. Additionally, the prices they list on their site are really high, but inside the software they are constantly running promotions and you can get the same features much cheaper.

A good free video converter

We have a client that can only play a certain format on their media player they use to review the commissioned videos and Freemake is how we do it. It is very easy to use it and we always use the same setting for that conversion so it is very streamlined. I can happily recommend Freemake Video Converter to anyone who needs to convert video formats.

PROS

Freemake is great when you need to quickly change format of your product. It is quick and easy to use and has all the right features, including the ability to hardcode subtitles, which I always found very useful.

CONS

I had issues with Freemake sometimes crashing in the conversion process on certain filetypes. While it was inconvenient, it was nothing that would happen often. I also think that the latest updates dealt with that as I haven't had that issue for a while.

Reasons for switching to Freemake Video Converter

Freemake has more features that the free version of Any Video.

SUBSCRIPTION NOT AUTHORIZED

None. It is the software package I used to make my DVD's but will not continue using it if I have to pay $59.95 a month for the privilege. I am volunteering my services to my church and certainly do not want to incur a monthly expense to provide a free service. I want a refund of the $59.95 taken from my PayPal account without authorization. I did not know I was using a free trial. I thought the software was totally free to download and use and the features such as the Gold Pack needed to be purchased. If I had known I was signing up for an exorbitant monthly subscription, I would have deleted the program immediately.

PROS

I liked the features and used them to make videos for my church's Sunday morning services. Then I made a video and needed to have the black bars removed as it was filmed on my phone in portrait rather than landscape mode. The black bar removal did not work after I purchased it. I had to purchase another software package that would actually change the orientation of the video and the aspect ratio which Freemake would not let me do.

CONS

I purchased a feature (Gold Pack $29.95) thinking it would help me change the orientation of my iPhone video. It did not but I was frantic to get the video made so took a chance that Freemake's feature would help with that. It did not as it would not let me change the aspect ratio of the video from portrait to landscape.

Freemake Video Converter

This is the easiest to use video trimmer I have ever used. It is also great for converting video to almost any format.

PROS

I was looking for a software that could easily trim videos. Most software I found would only trim from the beginning or the end of video. This software allows me to trim out as many segments of the video that I want. It also allows the video to be downloaded in many different formats.

CONS

I used to the free version that would give me a watermark at the end. The free version has removed a lot of features making it almost impossible to use without paying for it. The paid subscription is reasonable if you plan on using it consistently.

A fantastic alternative to rendering multiple videos!

We would normally render multiple video types for our clients using Sony Vegas Pro, however, after discovering Freemake Video Converter, we decided to rely on that software as it has been very consistent with high-quality video outputs, along with subtitle options and various formats that we use in the industry.

PROS

The conversion speed is incredible and there have been little-to-no errors with the videos that we've outputted.

CONS

Unfortunately, requires a lot of CPU from our computers, which is why when we are converting one of our longer videos, we typically shy away from using any other program on the machine.

Great app for Converting video files

Converting videos from one format to another to solve compatibility problems with media players.

PROS

1. Many video formats are supported for conversion. 2. Easy to use and nicely laid out GUI. The options font are clearly visible and large enough.

CONS

Free version has watermarks and the conversion is not that fast. Other than that, a top-notch app for video converting.
