Pros

  • Supports the most commonly used formats like AVIs, MP4s and WMVs
  • Includes presets for some of the most commonly utilized portable devices from major players like Sony, Microsoft, Samsung or Apple
  • The conversion process is simple and generally smooth
  • The interface is easy to use, although it may seem a bit overwhelming on first blush since there are a good number of icons to deal with on the interface
  • Another plus associated wser can edit without losing sight of the interface controls. Not all converters are designed with this type of convenient functionality.

Cons

  • On the list of cons associated with GOM Video Converter are the limitations associated with the free download version of the product. First, the free version limits the length of a converted video to 10 minutes. Second, the free version places a watermark on the converted video. Neither of these limitations exist with the paid-for version of the product.
  • The installation process for the GOM Video Converter is also a bit cumbersome and somewhat confusion. A person installing GOM Video Converter is called upon to confirm the installation of certain codecs associated with the product. The reality is that most users are not going to be familiar with what a particular codec is designed to do. Moreover, the codecs themselves do not take up much memory or space anyway.
