Any Video Converter Professional isn’t the largest or most comprehensive video converter software we evaluated, but what it lacked in features and output selections it made up for in simplicity and efficiency.
Anyone with a PC, iPod or Windows based media device could benefit from Any Video Converter Professional. Its main purpose is to convert videos downloaded on your computer to compatible formats for your MP3 or portable media player. Any Video Converter Pro also includes a simple tool to import videos directly from YouTube.
It was a close race between the #1 product, AVS Video Converter, and Any Video Converter Pro. Although Any Video Converter Pro is slightly easier to use and the YouTube download tool is great, the software’s minimal selection of output options kept it out of the top spot.
Any Video Converter Pro includes one of the most comprehensive lists of input files we reviewed and is one of the few products we evaluated that received a perfect score in this category. You can convert almost any video file imaginable including WMV (Windows Media Video), AVI (with Xvid and DivX codecs) MPEG 1 and 2, MOV (QuickTime), MP4 (iPod and PSP), RM (RealMedia) and more.
Any Video Converter Professional is also one of the few applications that had absolutely no problem converting FLV (Flash Videos) that were already downloaded to our hard drive or imported directly from a YouTube URL. You can also import flash videos from MetaCafe and NicoVideo.
Although we gave Any Video Converter a full score for its input files, we are disappointed that it is unable to convert audio files.
