The converted video, being cut down data-wise by leaps and bounds, to my eyes, still looks about as good as the video that, before compression, required gigabytes of space to store. I'm not a videographer or a video expert, by any means, but to my consumer eyes, the quality of the converted video is stunning. NCH's free-trial, on the other hand, rather than placing a translucent band across the converted video with the company's name on it, used the more effective method of restricting some of the more advanced capabilities of the software, while still offering the basic video conversion abilities that I was interested in the program for.
What I did see in Movavi's free-trial, besides the translucent band with Movavi's name being superimposed over the video I was converting, was, in the background, a rather grainy looking, low quality version of the video I was converting. I've got to say that Movavi has shot themselves in the foot with their free software trial as the converted video in the Movavi trial had a large translucent band that goes across the screen, effectively making it hard to assess the quality of Movavi's video conversion. Before I tried Prism Video Converter Software, I tried Movavi's Video Converter software. My trial with it was so convincing and effective that I bought it, almost right away. I tried the program out before I bought it.
