it lets me open almost all common formats such as avi or mkv files easily with no hassle. The interface is simple and easy to use. There are many preset options that allow you to get your file in just seconds. If you're looking for a program to transcode files while keeping quality, try Handbrake! The only thing I don't like about handbrake is that sometimes when I'm trying to edit a file after encoding, it can't find enough free space in my hard drive. It's a problem that happens often but not too much to keep using the software. Try Handbrake out. It will let you be able to use anything without having to go through multiple programs. It makes it really easy to encode media files from different sources to fit your need. And also saves time by avoiding the hassle of opening multiple programs at once.
