Xilisoft Video Converter Standard Editor's Review

Blow your videos up on the big screen or take them with you on the run.

Step by step video conversion.

This program does everything it says it does: input files in popular formats (WMA, MOV, AVI, MP4, MPEG1/2 and VOB) and you can choose from more than 20 output files to convert them to. Taking advantage of the batch convert support is a handy time saver if you've got a lot of videos you want to process.

But the thing that sets this apart from all the other multi-format video converters out there is the Wizard. This is an in-built feature that will walk any novice through video conversion step by step. It’s true that if you want more technical control over video parameters you need to use the main application, but for people just starting out who just want to make their video file compatible with a different media player, this is the one for you.

Pro’s: Transfer files straight to your portable device when they finish converting, multi language support, supports batch process, the Wizard

Con’s: Editing tools are limited and it doesn’t support conversion of flash videos

Conclusion: Xilisoft Video Converter has its limitations. That it doesn’t support flash conversion will be a source of annoyance for many but for novices looking for a program that will convert their home movies to be shown on portable and TV media players, this really is a foolproof option.
