I still really like this program - it has managed to convert any video files I tried to any other format.
It will also extract the audio only from FLV or MOV (and I assume almost any video format) to MP3 or WAV in a single step and quickly.
However the installation is pretty insidious about installing Ask.com stuff.
I had been using Beta version 4.0.0.32B and it just told me the Beta had expired and would not run.
This meant that I had to install either a newer Beta (probably would also expire) or a release version.
The current release version is 4.0.0.20 - but it will only install when one of installing Ask.com toolbar or Ask.com as Homepage is chosen - otherwise it will refuse to install and I did NOT find a way to Abort the installation - I had to resort to using Task Manager to stop that installation.
So I downloaded and installed an older version 4.0.0.8
which did not seem to offer Ask.com
(and as far as I can see no Ask.com were installed) -
BUT I still found TWO Ask.com EXE files in the QMC program directory -
which I have to assume have to be there for the program to run -
see my previous review on this.
Overall this is a very powerful and fast program - it has managed to convert any video file I have tried to any format. It also extracts audio to MP3 or WAV in a single step - the default MP3 bit rate seems to be 192k - but under Expert Mode one can set that to any other rate but must set the codec to libmp3lame.
Easy Mode is very easy -
Expert Mode seems less intuitive and mostly I have to do research to find out how to use it properly (there doesn't seem to be any documentation for the Expert Mode)
- but once I know how, it is very flexible and powerful. |
