Prism Video Format Converter provides many interesting features, and of the most useful is batch conversion. This is really convenient as the program can convert multiple files while we're away from our computer. However, the program cannot batch convert if the output files should be of different types (for instance, we have four MOV-files, and we want one to be converted to AVI, second to WMV and so on - this is impossible with batch converting).

The program also has a practical feature that allows changing the height and width of the video. The desired proportion can be widescreen 16:9 or standard 4:3. The video cropping feature allows user to specify a size and frame rate of the video output.

However, Prism Video Format Converter does lack such common features implemented in high ranked video editing software as merging files, adding effects and extracting audio from video files. But users who need these tools should consider looking for video editing software but not video conversion software, as the latter is more about converting videos to make it compatible with different types of cell phones, game devices, and so on than adding effects or editing video.

Prism Video Format Converter is fairly easy to use. Tests show that after converting a full length movie for some time it was viewing well in the built-in player. The time of conversion may depend on the time of the system used for that. The program converted video files imported from the digital video camera pretty quick and they had a good quality in the new format. All these processes are easy to figure out, the program has many useful options, available on the right click, and it is easy to find out how to configure output file location and encode.

The developer of Prism Video Format Converter is NCH Software. The company provides nice documented support with its FAQs and user guides. The "personal" support though is provided only for those who purchased a license, which means that free users won't get one-on-one support. But for that you can either purchase a license or a technical support plan.

Conclusion:

Prism Video Format Converter can input and then decompress any file that is supported by Windows Media Player, which has a high value for users. The number or file formats supported is really big, the program can convert movies for Windows Media Player, Sony PlayStation and iPhone. The product is really easy to use, it works fast and can be recommended to most users.
