I just quickly tried this to see if it offers any speed improvement over the very complete, perfectly free Handbrake, and particularly since Handbrake doesn´t support my AMD gpu, and does not fully utilize my 4 cores/8 threads CPU.

And my initial test shows:

1) Fewer options than Handbrake.
2) No support for AMD either.
3) Even worse, my CPU is hovering around 15%, when Handbrake hovers around 50%, which is making the encoding time not only much longer, but ridiculously long.

As of right now, I don´t see the point in using this software at all.

Cheers.

One more in a crowded field that does not handle .ISO files, either to or from. Never mind

warpwiz,

"One more in a crowded field that does not handle .ISO files"

There's really no need for ISOs nowadays, unless you're after a bootable optical disc. Burning apps like the free ImgBurn handle files/folders just fine, as do player apps. If I remember correctly, several years ago you needed a DVD in ISO form to be able to play it in PowerDVD, but that hasn't been true for years. If you've got an ISO, the free DVDFab Virtual Drive works fine, mounting the ISO so you can access the individual files/folders -- if you're running Windows 10 it'll mount them on its own, no need for any added software.

An older (giveaway) version of this is my converter of choice. Speed is reasonable, usability is OK. But honestly, I don't know if it's better or worse than other converters. I'm using it as it is and I'm satisfied.

I actually quite like this as a simple video converter. Also somewhat unusually it isn't just a front-end for FFMPEG.
What it does offer includes 4k/UHD support and lots of presets for different devices, plus the option to brew your own.
To convert video, open the file and choose the general output type you want (e.g. AVC video, although you can change it later) and you can then customise it by clicking the wheel icon once you're back to the main interface. I do find the limited ability to over-ride the bit-rate a bit annoying, but I guess most people would be happy with the way it works.
Also note you need to play (/+pause) the video preview before you can seek in it, which isn't intuitive.
