Excellent program

Freemake Video Converter is not only extremely versatile but is probably the most intuitive piece of software I've ever used.

Misleading!

From what I can see this program downloads files from websites. Maybe it then converts them and it does not convert files already on your HD or am I missing something.

Response from Computeractive

Don - Freemake can indeed convert files stored on your hard disk into another format. Our guide to using it can be read at www.computeractive.co.uk/1933367

Re: Don's comment

The problem is that the download is for the "downloader" not for their converting software.
