AVS Video Converter

[Huh...What?]

Hi. I have a friend who recommended the "AVS Video Converter", but the thing is it costs money.

The video output is quite good, and I was wondering if it used some proprietary codecs to achieve this?

Are there free alternatives that can create video that looks that good? I also think he liked the way everything was automated, one click conversion (using defaults), burning to the DVD for you (no burning proggy needed), etc...

Has anyone ever reviewed this software? Because at first glance, I thought the official site looked of questionable nature, ie - junk.

I have avs video converter and it is good for oddball formats.

However I am now using format factory a lot more frequently. It handles a ton of inputs and can output to just about anything and is free.

depending on the input format you can choose from a lot of different free tools. the one i'd start with first is avstodvd. then there's the film machine, there's a old free version of convertxtodvd, and others in the tools section. as for burning dvds i wouldn't use anything but the free imgburn, even if a program has the capability built in.
