Top 6 Questions To Ask Before You Purchase A Video Converter

Published on 26 May 14

Christine Follow

The software market is full of video converter applications, but all of these applications do not offer the same user satisfaction. To get the best out of them, these are some questions that you need to ask to make sure that you have value for your money in return.

Question 1: Does it support Windows and MAC operating system?

As far as domestic use is concerned, Windows and MAC OS are the most popular operating systems which are in use today. You need to be sure that the software is available for these versions as you never can tell, you might decide to change from using Windows OS to MAC. You should be able to download the version compatible with your operating system.

Question 2: How fast does it convert video files?

You may not appreciate the importance of this question until you are required to convert 57 video files each having a minimum length of 1hr, 30mins. With some video converters, this could take almost forever. Imagine this, if the application takes 30 minutes to convert one of these files, it would take over 24 hours to convert all 57 files. That is a great deal of time. The preferred video converter is that which converts videos at a rate faster than the average converter.

Question 3: Can I download videos from YouTube and watch them for free?

Video sharing sites like YouTube receives lots of visitors every day and has tons of videos. Some of these videos may get lost in the pile while others may be deleted. Before you pay for a video converter, make sure that it can download videos from these sites and allows you watch them at your convenience for free. With this feature, even when the original file gets deleted by the owner, you still have your copy for future use.

Question 4: Can I edit videos and add special effects?

A video converter software is not a video editing software. However, it should provide basic editing capabilities simple enough for users to use with ease. Features like trim, merge, crop, rotate, addition of subtitles and the addition of special effects should be available as this provides an enhanced user experience allowing them to make desired modification to their video files.

Question 5: How many video output formats are available?

The aim of purchasing this application is to convert files. You need to be sure that the number of output formats are numerous as this would provide a wider range of usage. It should also accommodate uncommon file formats associated with camcorders.

Question 6: How simple is it to use?

You do not need an application for which you need to study a special manual or go to special training before you use them. The application needs to be as simple as possible, providing solutions in 3 simple steps. Import files, Select Output Format, Start Conversion, it should be as simple as that.

It might take some time to identify a video conversion application that provides all these features and much more, but thatâ€™s always worthy to spare some time to find the best tool for ourselves. Am I right? And Hope this article could help you decide and choose your favorite one.
