AVS Video Converter combines an easy profile-based video conversion option with a full-featured video editing tool. It can batch-convert any number of a wide range of video file types, while allowing you to add pro-looking video overlays and filters, as well as audio effects, in an intuitive timeline editor.
The output format selection, based on an extensive library of profiles, makes this tool suitable for all types of users regardless of their skills or experience in video conversion. These profiles are organized in three main types – codec-based, device-based, and Web-based profiles, covering all the most widely used video file formats, mobile devices, players, consoles, and online video-sharing sites. From MPEG and FLV to AVI or WebM, from Apple and Samsung to Android and BlackBerry mobile phones, and from YouTube to Vimeo, Facebook or Flickr, you will find it hard to spot a format, device, or website not supported by this tool. Besides, all of these profiles can be easily customized to build your own personal profiles, which you can save for later use. Strangely enough, no audio formats are supported, which leaves audio extraction out of the wide range of output possibilities.
The program doesn’t include a built-in video player, so you will need to double-click on any of the video files on the conversion list to watch it using your default media player. If you click on the “Edit” button, however, an impressive video editing tool will open in a new window. If you are already familiar with AVS Video Editor, you will feel immediately at home here. Otherwise, just follow its intuitive design, and you will be adding overlays, filters, and video and audio effects to your video files in no time. This full-featured video editor comes with its own player for you to preview the results in real time.
You can activate batch conversion to re-encode any number of video files into the last selected output format – mixed output is not supported – or activate the “split by chapters” or the “limit file size” options to slice large videos into smaller files.
AVS Video Converter is a serious alternative to many other similar tools. Its convenient profile-based output format selection, together with its full-featured video editor, make this tool stand out from many its competitors.

I have an old movie on ISO. a Ma&Pa Kettle film 46 minutes long.
On ISO (7 VOB files most with 1G file sizes) I attempted to convert it to mp4 using AVS.
No matter how hard I tried the the smallest I could get AVS to convert to ended up with a 3.5Gig mp4 with this 46minute film and that was using the bit rate calculator to the smallest allowable size! And even then the film is un-watchable!
I finally used FreeMake in mp4 setting size to 640x480 (same as AVS) and 700 Bitrated at 24FPS and achieved a very nice mp4 @ 246MB!
Automation seems to be the biggest problem I ran into. AVS limits formats, allows no real user control and seems to be confused with these larger files in VOB. Freemake ignored the input size and allowed me to indicate size, bitrate (with no blocking if calculator said no) and Sound size and resulted in the expected results.
Unless I really missed something, I am at a lose? Pleas let me know and I will retry with second ISO.
Still having problems with AVS with VOB, but seems to work well with other formats. Also has a better effects editor than Freemake but I still use my Nero for these.
