I have been looking for a converter with ease-of-use and support for multiple formats [why are they so many? Why don't they standardize device specific formats?]. I tried at least 9 of them converters, but one thing or the other was lacking. I hate technicalities and complications. I also hate when I am told that such-n-such codec is not installed. In Format Factory 2.2, I found the comfort and ease that I dreamt of. Everything from Installation to conversion was easy with a few minor hicks that I could tackle without going through Help! Help doesn't explain errors and the solution. Some links on the masthead are annoying but I understand they are unavoidable. Thanks to all of you who have produced such a marvellous tool at no cost to the user.

Pros
  • Pretty user-friendly. Supports most formats and allows customization. All features of a top-class commercial converters available for FREE -- minus the cost of download!
Cons
  • The default values are not taken from the source file. The customized settings are not raceable!
  • Video merging was a flop-show. FF didn't take default values & merging 4 MP4 files ended in - Error 0x00000001- with no explanation!
