Install asks where to install.
I tell it E:
It immediately fails - says there is not enough space for the selected features.
Shows that it needs 6mb on drive E: (not a problem)
Shows that it needs 114mb on drive C: (big problem)
Why ask where you want it installed if you are going to put more than 95% of the product on the C: drive anyway ???

Actually you can choose bitrate, just check out automatic at the output and click on advanced button.

Once you've jumped through the installation hoops (including reassuring Outpost), Videomizer invites you to install a new update (!) which seems to work fine with the e-mailed activation code.

What you end up with looks like your traditional video converter app, which includes various features missing elsewhere (DVDs, expandable preview window etc) - with the bonus of optimization.

The BSTdownload site provides this helpful info:

>>
Videomizer 1 is a professional video image optimization tool which can do advanced processing operations to your video images, frame by frame, for a better quality. It can do fine editing and processing, tonality adjustments, apply different filters, fine video adjustments, batch processing.

Actually, Videomizer 1 scans your video and with frame by frame analysis, it does image filtering for all images or only for some certain objects present in that picture to improve the overall impression thanks to the automatic object recognition feature. For basic color, brightness and contrast processing, the application does automatic correction.

The video processing feature provides adjustment options for resolution, bit rate, frame rate, including the homologous audio attributes. Videomizer 1 can also do video manipulation operations like video cut with dual real time preview for direct comparison.

Another important feature is the HDR-simulator which can do high dynamic image range processing. From the same scene captured in pictures with different exposures, HDR-simulator creates one optimized picture.

The video scaling feature is aimed to rescaling {or} your video and to be shown in a proper way onto your device display without black bars. Some of the most known input supported formats of the program are DVD-video, MP4, WMV, AVI, MPG, TS etc. As {for} output formats, it can encode in about {the} same input formats with {the} addition of formats working with different devices like iPod, iPad, Android, PSP.

I'll look forward to the views of the experts who frequent GAOTD but this looks like an improvement on standard offerings.

Pros
1. Until this moment, have I only downloaded and installed the program twice and been writting the CONS ! Now I´m going to run the software itself and see what happens next... you will never know if you don´t try !

2. Registration was snapping fast... The programs loads in a normal speed, but could be much faster...

3. The 2 first videos (Sony 640x480 - 24 fps & Medion HD+ Camcorder 1280x720p HD - 29 fps) didn´t seem to work, but no. 3 did (Nokia 3X 320x240 - 8 fps) !

Overall is that... this program is clearly made for old bad & low fps videorecorders ! This is not recomented to users, who have a low income and have a need for a program like this !
I have now uninstalled the software. I will as the last thing like to say that Engelmann´ other software, offered here at GOTD, did I have the same bad feeling with... I have only tried this one to see, if there have been some improvements... but no, it´s the same as before...

Cons
Slow download time from the developers server. That counts for the Main download of todays offer and the Update download too...
Why do the user have to download the same program twice ? Is the developer that bad to remove the old version and put in the new version on the website ?
Maybe it should be considered to stop making software, if it can´t be done otherwise than this way !


High Hacker Alert on this software...

1. You´re told to turn OFF all anti-virus programs on your system !

2. You do send name and email information outside a secure form !

3. You need to confirm that you did give them your email and name !

4. The email with your Serial number use more than 1 minute to show the text inside the email ! Remember that, the email is shown as it´s there ! 5 Kb email don´t take that long to download from any server !

5. I don´t say that this developer is anything else than a developer, but all those hacker-look-a-like required procedures do give me the feeling of a high risk software ! AND most important... If users get used to software that requires similar procedure then will it make the hacker-world so much eaiser to work in... for hackers !

As mentioned before, after installation and activation online update is possible (from version 1.2.11.0712 to 1.2.11.800). The mailed key is still valid after the update.

My first functional tests were not so impressive, unfortunately. This is sold as a Video OPTIMIZER, not simply a converter. So I have tried to optimize some videos, which did not have the best quality. Maybe I still have to work on the settings, but the results were a little bit disappointing. The optimization process also enhances artifacts. Colors and brightness seem to get better, but the overall impression is disappointing for me. I guess, my source material could have been too lousy, so I'll try some other videos, because no software can do miracles.

I'll be back!
