Features:  

Prism Video Converter’s real strength rests in its simplicity. Prism Video Converter rips DVD video straight from a disc and encodes it in the video format of your choice. Additionally, Prism Video Converter will encode and recode video files already present on your hard drive. There isn’t a video file extension we could find that Prism Video Converter doesn’t support. In addition to ripping from DVD and image files, Prism Video Converter supports AVI, MPG, VOB, ASF, WMV, MP4, OGM, MOV, DivX, and H.264, to provide a partial listing of supported files.

Whether you’re looking to compress videos for use on an iPhone or simply ripping DVD to your hard drive, Prism Video Converter performs reliably and quickly. For media hoarders, Prism Video Converter’s batch convert function is a lifesaver—you can convert entire folders to the same video type.

Ease of Use:  

Intermediate and even beginner users shouldn’t encounter any problems with Prism Video Converter’s simple and visually minimalist interface. Everyday operations like ripping a DVD to AVI or MPEG are as simple as selecting input media, output location and file type. Prism is easy to use as video capture software for unsupported source video such as third party online video players.

Advanced users will appreciate the options to scale resolution and frame rate on videos. It is also possible to crop video with Prism Video Converter. A word of warning to newcomers however, fiddling with custom settings can yield distorted and low quality video if you aren’t familiar with video file formats.
