GOM Video Converter Editor's Review

Convert the video files you need to the formats you want with this Windows video tool.

Putting video where you want it and where you need it isn't always as easy as you think it should be. With the adoption of this ecosystem or that ecosystem users often make investments that allow their toys to work and play well with each other. However, when you mix and match, it isn't always easy. That's why I like tools like GOM Video Converter. It’s a video conversion tool for Windows.

GOM Video Converter is a powerful, all-purpose video conversion app. It supports a wide variety of input and output formats. Generally speaking, if GOM Media Player can play it, GOM Video Converter can convert it. Whether you want to download videos from YouTube and put them on your iPod or upload a video from your 3G mobile phone to your blog, GOM Video Converter is the easy all-in-one solution for you.

The app has an intuitive user-interface; and built in conversion presets make GOM Video Converter easy for anyone to use. GOM Video Converter boasts faster conversion speeds than most other video converters. Computers with multi-core processors can also use the app's multi-conversion function to convert several files simultaneously. Intel based PC's with Intel Quick Sync Video Support can also convert videos at blinding speeds.

Pros: Converts any file it can play, easy to use

Cons: Expensive

Conclusion: With GOM Picker you can download embedded flash video from your favorite video websites and can convert it to something that you can play any time, anywhere. The app supports a comprehensive array of input and output formats and enables you to convert to almost any format for any device, including iPad, iPod, iPhone, PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, Zune, Blackberry, and Android. If you want, you can also add subtitles, extract audio, as well as embed your own logo. The app does a lot. The registered version is a bit pricey though, so unless you're going to use the advanced features a lot, this may not be the right app for you.
