YouTube FLV to AVI Converter PRO 2.2.0

 

Online videos have gained a lot of popularity lately and some sites even let you download them and enjoy them from your computer’s hard drive. YouTube doesn’t allow users to download the videos but the new download managers out there are starting to feature such options. I am going to assume that you could download a video that is not copyright protected for personal use and entertainment. The developers from Easiest Utils came up with an encoder capable of encoding such video files from YouTube into video AVI files, YouTube FLV to AVI Converter.

The interface is rather quite simple and very friendly, though a bit small. I have selected the Pro version just to see what it is capable of. From the start I can say that the trial nag screen is very irritating – so basically the same idea I have encountered in other shareware pieces of software – you don’t even get to see exactly what the software can do or how good it does the job and you’re already given the “buy software” interface.

As if that wasn’t enough, you also get to try it out 3 times and that’s all you get – nothing more, unless of course, you buy it, which is another downside. Moving on to see the actual test of accuracy and features: you can have 2 options – once you have loaded the video, you can either let the application decide upon the audio-video bitrates and resolution, or you can customize the settings yourself. You can also download videos from YouTube by using the wizard.

Applicability: Are you kidding me? Doesn’t the name say it all? Obviously the only reason why you would even consider buying such a piece of software is for the sole purpose of bringing “allegedly” some quality into flv format videos from YouTube.

 

Pro(s): The idea of enhancing the quality in typically low-resolution format video from YouTube is a good idea, but it needs some serious improvements.

Con(s): No, I didn’t want to be harsh o this review with this tiny application, but seriously, I would have expected more form a shareware application – because if I’m paying (by the way not a very cheap price!) I wish to have something really good, but such a rule does not apply in this case. There are even free applications that do the job a LOT better and easier.
