HD Video Converter: Interface Review

The fluidity of the interface is what caught my attention. The minimalist design and the amount of information the interface conveyed not only made the whole experience very efficient but also headache-free.

The main features - Converter, Downloader, Recorder, GIF Maker, and Toolbox  - are prominently displayed in the main window. Each icon is well-labeled to prevent confusion, and clicking on any feature will take you to its respective window, where you can begin your work. However, getting used to the conversion tool and its configuration usually takes time. Still, WonderFox is right on the money when considering the entire look and feel of their application.

Overall, the program is designed to be easy to use, allowing anyone with little or no technical knowledge to navigate it effortlessly.

HD Video Converter Full Functionality Review

On the Home Screen, at the bottom end, you will find all the options.

HD Video Converter

The Video Converter is more than just an ideal converter. It offers a lot more than just conversion. When you click on the video converter feature at the bottom of the home display, the following window pops up.

Click or drag to add the video files that you want to convert, and you are already halfway through the process.

Video Conversion Formats

On the right panel, you can choose the output video format. There are a lot of presets for the conversions. You can select the device you want the output format to suit. Also, you can configure your Video and Audio output settings.

Wait! do you notice more options on the right pane. You can click on the parameter settings and manually set a lot of different aspects that your converted video would later reflect after the whole process is complete. You can also manually configure variables like the frame rate, resolutions, aspect ratio, audio bitrate, and more.

Note: What I liked about the customizable configuration is that you can upscale your videos upto 8K.

Furthermore, you have the option to use the more robust and widely used H.264 encoder or the latest H.265 encoder for better quality at the best possible file size. HD Video Converter Factory Pro supports all the file formats you will ever need for your devices.

Hence, there are a whole bunch of options for you.

Video Conversion Speed

Hardware acceleration is a feature that lets you convert videos with more speed without losing any quality in the process. That’s a plus point if you have long videos to convert or have to process them in a batch.

The Hardware acceleration makes a considerable difference once you start using the feature in HD Video Converter Factory Pro compared to when you were not.

What sets apart this converter even from other premium tools is its support for NVIDIA NVENC, CUDA, and Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV) hardware acceleration technology. Hence, you get much higher conversion speeds and minimal loss in video quality.

Compression Rate

Why do you compress your files? To save up on space, of course. When a lot of data take up space on your device, the first things that you would like to consider is compressing them then only opt for cloud storage.

HD Video Converter Factory Pro uses 5 x compressions which helps you reduce the size of your video files to a large extent while keeping the original quality intact. That means more space on your devices with minimal loss in quality. It’s a win-win situation, and anyone would take it gladly.

Online Video Downloader

Have you ever stumbled upon a YouTube video that you want to download badly?

With HD Video Converter Factory, you can easily download YouTube videos with audio and videos from other online streaming sites. While writing this review, I downloaded videos from YouTube, Daily Motion, Twitch, and Vimeo.

Note: WonderFox does not allow you to download videos that require a purchase, login, subscription, or live stream. Instead, use the screen recorder function to capture these videos.

Download YouTube Videos with audio

I was able to download 8K YouTube videos with sound. However, if you wish you can also download only audio formats. The download speed is good and mostly depends on the source. 

Video Quality Selection

You can download any quality that suits your need. HD Video Converter Factory lists all the available formats and quality. Hence, select the one you need and add it to download queue.

Bulk Download videos

To bulk download streaming videos, you can add all the links to the downloader. Once you have all the links, hit the download button.

The primary feature works as per my expectation. However, I wish that in future versions, they should add the functionality to convert downloaded videos to various formats directly. Auto conversion upon download is a feature available in Wondershare Uniconverter. Check out our full Uniconverter Pro review.

HD Video Converter Factory: Screen Recorder

Record your computer screen with the Screen Recorder feature. Even while recording your screen, you can tweak many different options. These include recording formation, quality, frame rates, and turning on GPU acceleration for better performance.

You can select a part of your screen and also record full screen. The best part is that you can record from your microphone at the same time. Hence, you can quickly make an explainer video with narration. Furthermore, there is a Game Recording mode that allows you to record your gameplay at 60FPS. Additionally, there's an Audio Only mode that lets you record just the audio, which is a great feature.

Create GIFs using the GIF Maker

Browsing through social media, we stumble upon many Gifs, most of which are funny. Are you wondering if you can make some of your Gifs? It can be anything, funny pictures that you have saved on your gallery or a funny video clip of your pet that you happened to capture.

WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory lets you create your GIFs from either your pictures or your videos, whichever you like. Select either a video or picture option that you get once you over the GIF Maker feature option at the bottom. Then you are greeted with a similar screen as below.

Open your video or image file, then start making a GIF. You can choose various options like resolution settings, the frame rate, the output format quality, and the start and end timestamp.

Once you start using this feature, all you would ever be doing is making GIFs. It is very contagious.

Toolbox for More Functionality

You can choose any of the four exciting features that are displayed on your screen as soon as you hit the toolbox feature option. Hence, you may find these features beneficial and fun to have.

• Photo to Video Maker: Sort of like photo animation
• Ringtone Studio: Make your ringtone
• Split-screen Video Maker
• Subtitle Extractor

Other Features: Basic Video Editing

HD Video Converter Factory Pro has specific built-in tools to edit your videos if you need them as well. You can manipulate videos like:

• You can remove unwanted part from video
• Create only a small clip from existing larger video
• Merge videos
• Add different effects
• Add watermark
• Crop video

What I Liked and Disliked

What I Liked

Here are a few features that made me admire WonderFox HD Video Converter:

• WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro is an all-in-one tool that not only met my video conversion needs but also offered efficient additional features like video downloader, recorder, GIF Maker, and basic video editing capabilities. It made the platform highly convenient to use.
• Talking about additional features, the video downloader feature is a great inclusion in the product. It allowed me to download a video upto 8K resolution, which is commendable.
• The ability to bulk convert videos streamlines the conversion process, especially saving time from manual conversion.

What I Disliked

Nothing is perfect, and this efficient tool is no exception. 

• During my WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro review, I noticed that the program lacks an auto-conversion feature upon download. While it is not major, including it would make this program more convenient to use and improve the overall user experience.

Apart from the complications mentioned above, my experience with the program was satisfactory.

It does include basic video editing capabilities that are effective when needed.
