Kates Video Converter

[mrlewp]

Has anyone tried this tool with general success? Took me at least six file downloads before finding a setup.exe for it that wasnt corrupted or missing some part ?
Finally got it to install.
**MAIN reason for seeking out something like this , was it claimed to convert most any video that may be in PAL standard , into new video at NTSC (29.97 fps) standard.
I did get results , but in one case - file would play in several media players , but sounded and appeared very choppy when loaded into Pinnacle Studio , where I had hoped to convert to DVD (.vob) files.
On another attempt , the .mpeg file would play in certain PC medial players , but not all.
Finally , trying to convert an .avi (25fps) to a new . avi @ 29-30 fps , resulted in a much smaller file , playing for about a half second , where original source file was about 90 seconds.
Wondering if it's worth keeping around?

If you just want a all in one for PAL<>NTSC conversions of average video off the net to DVD, I would use ConvertXToDVD. It's not expensive, has a good 'track' record and is kept updated. Those type of conversions, if not done right, result in the problems you have noticed.

If you want the 'long' way to do it, but with better quality most times: https://www.videohelp.com/convert#4;41
