WinAvi Video Converter

Cons: Sometimes unable to fit everything on one DVD, Some conversion times are longer than 1 hour depending on file type.

Cons: It will be very nice if it come with some other formats like 3Gp,Divx,RM codec,Mp4.

Cons: RM codec and DIvx doesn't come installed with this converter You also have to pay to use its full version.

Cons: Doesn't convert some formats, or converts them but with defects

Cons: Sketchy completed file sizes, while using up any processing power! Slower conversion time over usb ports!

Cons: - Does not have support for 3GP/MPEG4(iPod)/PSP formats, but they have a separate product for this - WinAVI 3GP/MP4/PSP/iPod Video Converter 3.1, but it will cost you extra - Can be quite confusing for beginners, however its help section offers How To's

Cons: WinAVI uses very high bitrates when doing the MPEG-2 encoding - often way out of official spec. This can lead to some serious problems - specifically losing audio. Theres no custom video target size for the constant video size option. the options closest to a full DVD5 is 4300mb (too small), or 4700mb (too big). so i end up using 4700mb, then using dvdshrink to shrink it to size. if you convert 1 video thats widescreen, and another thats fullscreen, you cant set them seperately. also, theres not that many options, ie you cant set the bitrate for the video. then again, this IS an all-in-one converter made to be easy to use. The quality of the video encoding is also not exactly great - Nerovision is probably better but also not the best. I've found MainConcept's Encoder to be the best - very quick with great quality however not the easiest to use. When I play mpegs converted using winavi 7.0, my cpu usage reaches 100% (with explorer.exe spiking to 95%). even after I stop playing the mpeg, the cpu usage wont go down, and i'm forced to reboot. Irrespective of the selection (auto or 4/3 or 16/9) the MPEG2 produced did not have any DAR flag!! Needed patching with another program (DVDPatcher) to set up the flags.

Cons: It takes a lot of processing power. It's best to run it overnight or at other times when you aren't doing other work at the computer. It won't handle wmv files that have digital rights management enabled (external licences) and it doesn't recognize mkv media files.

Cons: Targeted at more experienced, knowledgeable users of DVD burning and such. Novice users may be a little bewildered at first, but its a decent program if you can just hang with it; knowing what you want to get done and doing it, are two different things.

Cons: Video Quality is hit or miss, a few minor bugs, missing a few tools.
