ConvertXtoDVD is more than a simple converter; this software offers a wide range of features and options, which we cover below. And of course, it converts—with lightning-fast speed.

ConvertXtoDVD is extremely popular thanks to its fast performance and excellent output quality, and because it supports virtually all common video formats. So no matter what file you’re working with, there’s a very good chance ConvertXtoDVD can convert it.

A powerful, feature-rich converter

There are countless conversion tools on the market, and on our site we’ve used and reviewed many of them. That also means many converters feel nearly identical, but ConvertXtoDVD manages to stand out—especially thanks to its excellent conversion speed.

Speed will always depend on the size and length of the video you want to convert. What also sets it apart are the many tools and options the program provides. Features include trimming clips and adding subtitles, among others—more on these below.

To qualify as a converter, it obviously has to convert—and it does. The software supports virtually every common video format, including:

avi, divx, xvid, mov, mkv, flv, mpeg1, mpeg2, mpeg-, nsv, dvr-ms, ts, ifo, vob, asf, wmv, realmedia, rm, rmvb, ogm, existing files from digital camcorders, TV/Sat, capture cards, and many more.

It’s rare to find a program that supports this many formats, which signals a developer that truly cares. The formats listed above are among the most widely used, so you’re unlikely to be stuck with an unsupported file.    

Make your video unique

As mentioned, ConvertXtoDVD is much more than a converter. You can also edit and fine-tune your video directly in the app—for example, by adding subtitles.

Subtitles must be prepared in advance—you can’t type them directly in the program. Create them in an external document and then import them. You can always preview playback to confirm timing before saving the video.

You can also watermark your video so it’s always recognizable as yours.

There are several watermarking options. For instance, you can add text like “Viggo’s Video” for easy identification. It’s easy to customize the font and text size.

You also choose where the text appears on screen so it doesn’t get in the way. That gives you great options for personalizing your video and making it as unique as possible. If text isn’t your style, you can add images, GIFs, or other video files as your watermark.

To add one, simply locate the folder where your image, GIF, or video file is stored.

Features

As noted, ConvertXtoDVD does far more than convert. The program includes a range of editing tools, including the ability to trim your clips.

It’s straightforward to make quick cuts. As in video editors, you get a preview window where your clip plays back. This makes it easy to find the exact points where you want to cut in or out. The same preview window can also be used to apply image adjustments to your video.

Adjustments are a matter of taste, and this feature is especially useful if your footage looks overly saturated or unnatural.

Design

ConvertXtoDVD has a clean, familiar interface that resembles many other converters. That’s a good thing, because it makes it easy to find the tools you need, right where you expect them.

As mentioned earlier, the app is mostly divided into two work panes, something you’ll recognize from most video editors. This layout isn’t new, but it makes the software much easier to work with.

That familiarity directly contributes to better usability.

Alternative converters

ConvertXtoDVD isn’t the only excellent converter we’ve used. It’s only fair to mention a couple of other favorites.

Xilisoft 3GP Video Converter is a converter, and its advantage over similar tools is support for smartphone video formats including 3GP, 3G2 (3GPP2), and MPEG-4.

Any Video Converter is a free converter that can handle virtually all video formats. Its strength is that it’s built purely for conversion. So if you don’t need trimming, subtitle import, or other extras, Any Video Converter is a great option.

Conclusion

ConvertXtoDVD offers a large set of features, and they’re impressively well implemented. You don’t get just a converter—you’re getting almost a converter and a video editor in one package. Whether that’s a pro or a con is up to you. If you only want quick, simple conversions, many of the extras may feel unnecessary. But if you want to personalize and fine-tune your video, they’re essential.

ConvertXtoDVD can be downloaded and used free for 7 days, with no email or payment details required. We see no reason not to try it for yourself and see if it meets your needs.

We give ConvertXtoDVD a strong recommendation and fully expect to use it for conversions going forward.
