AVC just works!
I have been using Any Video Converter for about 2 years now, and I'm very impressed. It just works, and works well. For me, it really shines as a downloader for online videos. If I want to use an online streaming video in a setting when I can't be online or need to insert it into a presentation, AVC will pull it down for me and convert it to whatever format I need. It's UI is intuitive and simple, and just effective. No messing around. It was worth the cost of purchase.
