Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate 6.0.1

Overview

Having a hard time finding a decent software that can convert your videos to the desired for format without trouble? Check out Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate. Apart from converting quickly videos between dozens of file formats, you can also use it for editing them and then burning them on DVD, DVD folder or ISO format.

Installation

To install the software, simply run the installer, choose preferred installation language and follow a few steps until the main installation process begins. At some point you’ll be asked whether you want to create a desktop shortcut and associate media files with the program. In the end you have the option to join the Customer Experience Improvement Program.

WVCU works under Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

Interface

The program has a very stylish interface, suitable to a modern software like this one. At the top you can see 4 tabs: Convert, Burn, Download and Play. Below them you can use the “Add Files” and “Load DVD” buttons to add items to the conversion list in the center of the window. On the right-hand side is a sidebar which holds information regarding the output format, and from the bottom of the window you can define output folder and also begin the conversion process. The rest of the tabs have a similar style too, except for the Play tab, where the program essentially turns into a media player.

Pros

WVCU supports loads of file formats, from common video and audio types to HD, Web and even 3D formats. However, if you want to convert videos for playback on a device such as iPod, iPad, Galaxy S III or another one, you can select it from the list of supported devices so that you don’t have to make all required configurations for it manually (you can edit them if you wish though).

Conversion of DVDs, DVD folders and ISO files is also possible. Just load the ISO/DVD/DVD folder in the program and proceed with the conversion normally. The reverse operation is supported too; conversion of video files to DVD folder and ISO file followed by DVD burning is applicable.

You can add subtitles in your video files, as well as edit them by using the crop and trim functions or by adding effects and watermark.

WVCU can also be used as a media player. If you associated media files with it during installation, it now is your default media player (if you didn’t then you can still do so from the Preferences menu).
