Or maybe you just wanna compress your video for faster online upload or a file transfer via Dropbox. ( ↓ Scroll the page to see what most people buy ↓) Especially now where you could be shooting your video with one device (iPhone, iPad, android smartphone, tablet, point and shoot camera, DSLR, spy glasses, etc.) and then you wanna edit it on another machine (Windows PC, Mac, Chromebook - with online video editing software). Sometimes, all you need is just a video converter to convert those video files into a format that's accepted by YouTube or by your video editing software. And that was that - no more fuss with lousy converters. So, after I decided I wanna take my editing a little more serious - when I got my GoPro camera, actually - I bought an original video conversion software which was recommended to me by a professional videographer. Not to mention that some of the quality was gone. Aghhh!!!! So then I'd go online and grab those free converters that place a silly watermark on the video and I'd be even more pissed. I used to get so pissed when the files I had downloaded from my camera didn't work with my editing software.
