Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate

Download, Convert and burn your videos to DVD's with this easy to use cross-platform tool.

When you're a parent or grandparent, believe it or not, video is what you live for.  Thirty to forty years ago, it used to be pictures.  Grandparents would patiently wait for pictures of their grandchildren to come in the mail; or they'd be hand delivered to them.  Either way, what they got were physical stills, and that's about it.

Today, it’s a completely different story.

Today with smartphones and with the internet, parents (and grandparents alike) can take and share not only stills but video with nearly everyone, at any time. However, not everyone is as technology savvy as the next person.  Sometimes, you need a different, more traditional way to share video.  That's why I like Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate. It’s a cross platform (Windows and Mac) tool that allows you to share your story regardless of computer type.

Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate is an all-in-one multimedia suite that enables you to extract audio from videos, convert videos to any popular format with zero quality loss and 30x faster conversion speed.  With it you can transform any home DVD movie to nearly any format you want, burn & copy home DVDs, provide one-click online video download, edit videos and more. The package is very compact and easy to use.

Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate supports native codecs like Apple Pores, Intermediate Codec, and DNxHD, so you can convert videos to one optimized format for iMovie, FCP etc., and then edit them for the best overall effect. The process is fast, over 30x faster than previous versions; and allows you to convert both audio and video to and from over 70 different formats.  The app also supports native codec support for professional apps like Final Cut Pro.

App Pro’s: Works on both Mac and Windows platforms, provides for conversion, downloading

App Con’s: Not all web browser extensions install correctly

Conclusion: Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate is an easy to use multi-platform application that is fast and easy to use. You can use it not only to download non-copy protected videos from the internet; but you can use it to burn DVD's with cool menu systems as well.

The app runs off of a subscription service, costing $40USD per year for a single computer license.  You can also purchase a single, lifetime license for $60USD.  A family license (2-5 computers) for $118USD for Macs and $100USD for Windows PC's.

I've really liked using this app. It's easy to use and offers a great many features that you would normally only find on a much more expensive, desktop app.  The only issue I've had with this app is the installation of its Chrome Extension. The process generates an HTTP404 error, clearly indicating that either the application is in error, or the extension location in the store has been moved.
