Quick Media Converter is a solid video converter with a variety of formats that will let you watch your audio and video no matter what the file type.

First impressions count, but Quick Media Converter doesn't make a good one. Despite favorable reviews of previous versions, first contact with the program revealed a cluttered interface and terrible translation. Could Quick Media Converter redeem itself?

Admittedly, when we took a longer look at the interface, it began to make more sense. There are two modes: Easy and Expert. Drag and drop your files to add them to Quick Media Converter's list, or use the buttons on the left. Choose your target format from the icons at the top of the program, tweak the settings (if necessary), pick a save directory and off you go.

Quick Media Converter has plenty of good points - conversions were fast, there's a preview window, and more experienced users will appreciate the editing options in Expert. Unfortunately, Quick Media Converter also crashed frequently and you have to specify the save directory separately every time you convert.

In all, when Quick Media Converter converted a video, it did so well. It has a great selection of formats and the converted videos were good quality. That said, that's simply not enough to excuse its weak points, and it's hard to use it without thinking of the hundreds of other converters out there that do the same job, but better.

Quick Media Converter - an ok program, but not enough good points to overlook the bad ones.
