Notepad Apk Free Download. Please rate this article. Hello, I have around a dozen home DVD's that were converted via dubbing from VHS tapes about 5 years ago.

The VHS tapes no longer exist. They are in reasonable quality. I probably could have done a better job with one of those VHS to Digital devices you can buy. However a few jittery bits from a 30 year old tape is quite acceptable (and retro):-) I want to convert these DVDs now to mp4. I tried using Format Factory which I use for all my Video conversions but the resultant mp4 was awful.

Kind of out of focus??? Anyhow I tried installing Freemake and both my antivirus and antispyware programs went into hyperdrive. I know that technically this product doesn't contain malware (ones definition of malware may be important here) but I gave up when both my security programs asked me to make an exception for it. So basically I want to create an exact copy of whatever is on a DVD to an mp4 file (if that is possible).

I want minimal to no loss during the conversion process and I want it to be a painless if not joyful experience:-) Has anyone else done this with good results from DVD to mp4? Cheers, Paul Anyhow • or to post comments. I can't agree with the Top pick in this catagory.

For me all the 'Freemake stuff' is pup software! It was already stated that most free software come with some additional pup Software, like adobe acrobat bundles with google chrome and s.o. But freemake installs opencandy installer and that really is crap!

So you are not only getting a McAffee Scanner or the like, but tons of crapware. Some of the Software that comes with opencandy installer can be considered malware.

I find the converted videos i did with freemake are qualitywise behind some other freeware tools - when using the same output video settings. The article says it took handbrake longer, but you did a completely different conversion!

Auto-bitrate single pass against a constant bitrate.that is just like saying an apple tasts better than a pear. And i don't consider the time it takes to convert a video as important as quality and size of the output. I tried freemake with cuda feature and it didn't do any good - freemake crashed with my test-file. My top pick would be 'Any Video Converter free', as easy as freemake, tons of presets and better quality than with freemake and no crap-, bloat-, ransom-, whatever-ware installed on your PC, besides the one that can be checked off during install. Other free tools like MediaCoder, XMediaRecode or Handbrake do a better job - regarding quality and output-size - than freemake! If you are in a hurry - Don't install freemake!

It will just screw your PC and you will end up spending a lot more time getting your PC cleaned of the Software the opencandy installer forced onto your PC, than the time saved upon video conversion. • or to post comments.

FWIW Freemake does NOT handle import of an ISO as far as I could see. I also followed the instructions to avoid opencandy as outlined above but chose custom install rather than the default install. As I never saw the option to not install opencandy components I assume I was too clever and so I ended up with opencandy installed or pending to be. After opening freemake I blocked it from accessing the internet when I got a Comodo popup (saw 2) and ran a Malwarebytes scan which failed to find any opencandy components so perhaps the internet block saved me. • or to post comments. You figured that out correctly: If you don't let the Installer access the opencandy webpages it can't be installed and that is the only way not to install opencandy BS! That's why i can't understand having freemake in this list as the top pick: Many users won't even know how to block the opencandy-page or run freemake in a sandbox.

It is not that freemake is malware, but opencandy does install malware. So if you aren't a professional or very experianced user better keep your hands of freemake. • or to post comments.
