Thanks to Acrok Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, I can convert so much video at ones, thanks to batch conversion. As I need to upload a lot to my YouTube Channel, this convenience is critical. – Wesley Parker
This is a brilliant product! I have purchased this for a year subscription. All good except the registration code was not given upon purchase and the logo prompted in the middle of the video. – Colin Brown
It is very easy to use, clear prompts, friendly and clean interface, high quality, and takes any guessing work out of the day. What else can you ask for? – Simeon Cheeseman
While this is a very good video converter it use to be better. The new interface is nice but it removed the ability to set the cropping size based on a number of pixels and position as well as removing the ability to type a start and stop time when trimming. – Erica Pomerance
