Pros: With increasing use of mobile devices that can play video and differences in video formats that they play, it is necessary to have a converter that can take care of the conversions necessary. This package provides the tools necessary to ease the conversions required. C#, VB and VB.Net code samples demonstrate the features available with the code package. To build a suitable application one just needs to integrate the features the way the developers want.

Each of the code sample package illustrate the feature through sample that include applying effects, exporting to audio, exporting to Pic, converting files with an overlay, merge files and transitions. These are just some examples from a long list of features that can be implemented.

The feature set includes the following. Convert video to 3gp, flv flash video, iPod, PSP, DIVX, AVI, WMV formats. Support MPEG4, H.263 3gp video with AAC or AMR audio. Allow Input MPEG2, QuickTime MOV, Mp4 with aac, 3gp with AMR , MPEG1, VOB, WMV, AVI, ASF DIVX files.

Add 3D transitions (70 transitions available) between any combinations of video clips, pictures. Over 50 effects can be applied between any combination of video clips and pictures. Parts of video can be extracted to separate images and resized at will. Parts of the same video can be extracted to different video formats. Audio can be extracted to MP3 or WAV files and the user can have the choice to select number of channels, sample rate and bits per sample. Support input VOB file format. (DVD decoder needed).

The package is compatible with any programming language that supports ActiveX (Access, Visual C++, Visual Basic, Visual Foxpro, Delphi, .Net, etc.) Include VB.Net, Access, Visual C++, Visual Basic, Visual Foxpro, Delphi, .Net Sample Code. The OCX can be distributed royalty free.

Overall it is at least as good as 3 stars.
