Video conversion software for PC

Total Video Converter by Effectmatrix converts your videos from one format into another. This software also allows you to burn these films to CDs. It can also rip CDs, create slideshows, and combine videos into one video. It can also handle multiplexing audio and film.

Limited functionality and aging

Because of the many devices we use, file format conversion is essential. As more devices can use different types of data, there has been a decrease on the need for them.

Total Video Converter was originally developed by Effectmatrix to address the majority of cases. The Windows version of Total Video Converter has not been updated in years. Therefore, it only works on Windows 7 or older.

The trial version is valid for 15 days before purchasing the application. The program is also dated compared to Wondershare.

What is Total Video Converter?

TVC is used for converting videos. It is easy to find what you need to do with the program when you open it. The program is organized with tabs that detail each function.

Its strong suit is changing between video formats. It can convert an hour-long video to another format in 15 minutes. It can be used to allow your data to be accessed via an mp3 player.

It can also be used to create slideshows. There are many transition effects that you can use. You can also add music to your slideshow.

What are the features?

TVC is less feature-rich than other programs such as Handbrake. It does have some features that allow it to convert audio and movies.

It can modify all the following types of files: divx, mpeg4 audio, avi, mp4, 3gp xvid, amr sound. These are the most common formats used by iPads, iPhones, and cell-phones.

All audio and videos can be converted to what is compatible with VCD, SVCD and DVD hardware. Once you have done this, you can burn them to a CD. These formats will also be used for any ripped files.

TVC can work with Bluray Formats. Its final strength is its ability to create slideshows that are effective by removing music and photos from the video.

The interface is simple and easy to understand for new users. A walkthrough is included in the software to help novice users get the hang of it before they dive into the program.

What are the limitations and bugs?

While this program is safe for all Windows computers prior to Windows 8, it can cause many problems. It freezes quite often and you may need to restart it. When the software is running on the computer, the system can crash.

The program can't convert a video perfectly and can cause a lot of problems. The audio quality is significantly reduced. Sometimes, you can hear hissing sounds. The final product was blurred, with pixelation and compression of artifacts.

TVC does not support 4K files. The video editing capabilities of TVC are also severely limited. Most converters can do proper editing. Many of the most recent file formats are not available for new smartphones.

Because of its outdated design, the user interface is also restrictive. Anyone who has used a more recent software will not be familiar with it. This is a significant step backwards. It also doesn't support media grabbing features on websites like Youtube, where most of the media today comes from.

Alternative video converters

Wondershare is a good choice for a video converter. Although it is more costly than other programs, Wondershare has the same quality output as all the others. It is also very fast, taking only five minutes to convert hour-long movies. It can also handle 4k movie format.

Handbrake offers many compatibilities and is free. This is a huge advantage over TVC's expensive price. Because of its complicated user interface, it is difficult to get started. Although you can do basic work without knowing the program in detail, it still has a lot to offer.

Although Handbrake is not as fast as Wondershare, it's still free. It also has several presets that will make things a lot easier.

Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate is the fastest of all the ones we have. It is also about the same price as TVC. It also offers more customization and enhancements of videos.

Leawo Video Convert is another option. It is the most affordable paid program. It takes some time to convert videos but one of its strengths is the many editing options. The quality is maintained at a minimum, which is a good thing.

Program and features are lackingluster

Total Video Converter is not a good choice. Its outdated system and inability of being used on most newer systems makes it a no-go for many potential users. There are better editing options for all of the competitions, even the free ones. This download can be skipped in favor of another.

The latest update brought the software's current skin to life and made it compatible with Windows Explorer.
