My installations of Giveaway of the Day offers of WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe, WinX DVD Copy Pro and WinX DVD Ripper Platinum have all reverted to Trial Version. Previous versions also only retained their registration for a short few months. I like what the programs do - whilst registered.

Could Digiarty please advise when registration is only retained for a limited time - and for how long?

The installation process was simple enough.

On the surface the blurb looks good, citing new AMD and Nvidia acceleration tech.

The support teams opening post carried a rather odd statement though "Enabling HEVC video codec means you should purchase its extension from Microsoft shop."

No you don't and I can playbacl/decode HEVC files without any requirement to purchase an extension. HEVC encoding is more appropriate for requiring a paid for product, although even then free products such as Handbreak can encode too.

On the front screen there are ticks against hardware acceleration for all 3 major GPU vendors.

I can't speak for AMD or NVidia but when I see Intel I expect it to be Quick Sync Video (QSV) but on many converters I find that is is not implemented and is falsely shown because only multi CPU core is supported and not GPU.

So to test this product I loaded up a sample file and ran a conversion.

It became quickly apparent that QSV is not implemented (or not done correctly) as a 90 minute video was going to take more than 190 to process.

Loading the same file into Handbreak, using the exact same conversion settings but using their true QSV implementation. The estimated time was less than 30 minutes.

So from the perspective of being a converter, using my particular hardware, this product is an absolute no go but may perform better with AMD or Nvidia graphics.

As far as AV1 codec support is concerned, it is promising for the future and I proceeded to download some AV1 videos from Youtube but not surprisingly to me, none would play correctly but this is not a fault with this product but by the fact that hardware support is very limited right now and not even some of my rather new hardware has SOC's that support AV1, so it's actual use right now may well be quite limited.

What AV1 did show me though was that when downloading videos from Youtube comparing the output from my regular downloader, ANTDM, AV1 files were definitely smaller than VP9.

As a general video downloader, using only Youtube as comparison, whilst WinX is not slow to download, it is generally 50% slower than ANTDM and with more processes to add even more time to the whole process.

There is no mention of how many other sites are supported, so I cannot comment on that as I am not seeing enough to inspire me to test further.

Digiarty have been around for a long time now and these days I get the feeling that real development comes as a distinct trickle, rather than make me want to part with my money to get something that stands out, not unlike most other similar converter offerings from other vendors.

Your experience may be different based upon needs and hardware but it's not for me and every time I see WinX, I tend to roll eyes rather than feel excitement at what is being presented.

This isn't installing for me. I just get the GAOTD / Software Informer box we usually see at the end of installation. Anyone else having this problem? BTW - If you didn't know already, WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe is a great program. I hope to get it installed before the giveaway ends

softwarejunkie5150, This is usually down to your AntiVirus refusing to let the software wrapper run due to being unable to scan it. Having your antivirus software whitelist the file should fix it.

Alternatively, as I have done in the past, you can obtain the install file from the site of the developer directly and use the code provided.
