Freemake

Having a video on disc which was made by copying a VHS tape to DVD I wanted to have the material on my computer. I tried a few tools to try and rip or copy but didn't work. Then I found Freemake Video Converter and without any difficulty could convert the DVD to all different video formats onto my computer.
The interface is very clear and user friendly. The tool is easy to use. I would highly recommend Freemake Video Converter!

Bought the trial for €0,95 but nowhere did it say you had to cancel the trial. Now I have to pay €39,95 for a lifetime license I did not ask for. I immediately sent an email to them and recieved an automated response. Don't waste your time on this software. Not worth it

To be fair, while the experience was unpleasant, they did eventually give my money back. I read the legalese and got back to them within the very short trial period. I also found out they are not the worst. I got a good deal from a company I already worked with and was much happier.

I use the converter mostly for making DVDs from downloaded YouTube music videos.
Recently, when because of a computer glitch, I needed my Gold Pack key restored, Customer Srevice handled it promptly and with no hassles.
I am quite pleased with the product.

The deceitful sales model. DON'T DO the $1 trial - it is a scam.
There is no possibility of canceling the trial period.
After the trial period they downloaded money from my account without my approval.
I do not recommend!

They have free in the name so you'd think that the software would be free. It let me download a single video before insisting I had to pay to use it. It then attempted to prevent me from closing the program by spamming me with ads. After closing 5 or 6 ads in a row I was finally able to X out and uninstall it, wherein it send me an additional ad begging me to pay for a subscription.

I tried to pay for activation, but their website is setup to cheat people out of their money. When you want to pay for activation, they send you to a donationpage, but the payment doesn't pay for a code, but just sende the money to Them as a gift and they refuse to pay back the money after that

In my opinion it is one of the best DVD makers. I tried others without success, but Freemake was the easiest I could ever find. I only needed to make some DVDs to a friend, but if I need a DVD maker, I will certainly purchase it again. I highly recommend the product.

Freemake software has the most updates of any software I have to the point that it nags.

I purchased the Video Converter. The license is limited to a single machine. On my 1st purchase a decided not to buy then a discount incentive offered for a limited time an I purchased. Decided to buy for a 2nd PC, said no and same discount was offered but decided to not buy. Then a 3rd discount was offered even cheaper which soured me on my 1st purchase as I feel I overpaid for the 1st discount, So if you think about buying, say no until the 2nd discount offer for the best price.

The video convertor is fast, All the other Freemake software is ok but all nag you for new updates. Not sure why the developer is pushing so many through.

After paying for Freemake, I found that I couldn't convert more than three short videos (approx. 7 minutes each) or it would crash. About 50% of the time, after a long wait, it would almost complete the convert to dvd, then I get a dvd burn error at which time the dvd is garbage and I would heve to start over. Customer service SUCKS! I have repeatedly tried to cancel my subscription and asked for a refund and the only response I get seems to be automated. Absolute scamming thieves! I would like to give zero stars for this one.

They said if downloaded the free version I could convert an MP4 to an MP3. So I did that, navigated all their crap, and then they said I can only convert if I buy the megapack. Why not say that upfront, I would've popped for the $0.99 they asked for, but don't waste my time and then bait and switch. I can't trust a company that is that deceptive.

I think it's easy to use. Like when scrolling, see immediately Convert files, it is convenient, will give you a good price, 15 us will be able to buy it.

I paid $1 to remove the watermark. A week later they charged me 43 bucks. WTF?! Nowhere did it say I would be automatically charged. These people are scum sucking scammer twats. STAY AWAY!

Freemake.com - I am not of the opinion that this is a safe site for acquiring software. Bought a temporary licence for a few dollars in order to trial the software. Needless to say I realised the conversion software could not support the source file and despite then leaving the trial to expire they proceeded to attempt to bill my account repeatedly claiming they were wanting to debit for my ONE-TIME payment for LIFE-TIME license of Freemake. As mentioned to them via email I actually gave them zero authorization to re-debit my account through Paypal so either they are illegally attempting to re-debit my account or they are using a very sneaky tactic in their terms or their processes to trick you into making it an above-board additional transaction. I think you need to approach freemake.com with caution as lucky enough I didn't have sufficient funds in my account at the time for the debit to go through and lucky enough Paypal allow one to cancel any repeat payments. Might I add that surprisingly I found that somehow freemake.com were down in my Paypal account as an approved 'automatic payment subscriber' even though I had no knowledge of approving this at any obvious stage in the process. I am not saying freemake.com are a scam or not legit but certainly I would advise that one approaches with caution and read read read before accepting or handing over your payment details.

I brought this NOT free product.
It changed the extension on very single video on my computer.
It corrupted every single Windows Live file I have and I have no idea how to fix them.
The program won't save anything I do. Nothing. It's maddening.
It is a useless program, no refund, no help fixing the mess they made, and it doesn't work to boot.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND SAVE YOURSELF A HUGE HEADACHE!

On October 15, I received a notice of a paypal payment to Freemake for $9.95. I thought I signed up for free. So I went on to the site to cancel via "ticket request" there's no other way to contact these scammers but through support ticket. Today i got another email saying that since I "did not give my feedback on the ticket for 9 days thus we deem your ticket close, please link below link to reopen your request..." SCAMMERS SCAMMERS SCAMMERS

Supposedly FREE! NOT FREE!
Your going to waste a disc to find out that by logo, they MEAN IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR $#*!ING SCREEN
Pure $#*! quality,
Pure $#*! interface,
Pure $#*! speeds,
And if you think some dumb asses are going to spend money on your $#*! software after using it whileyou plug a 3 hour day from me is insanity.
I hope you all burn in hell with the rest of the idiots out there.

FREEMAKE DOESN'T WARN YOU THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE FOR ITS USE. THEY JUST GO AHEAD AND RUIN THE VERSION YOU ARE USING AND TOTALLY DESTROY WHAT YOU ARE WORKNG ON. IT'S A SHAME I WAS A DUMB $#*! ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND DONATED $30.00 FOR ITS USE. I FOUND ANOTHER WAY TO DOWNLOAD VIDEOS WITHOUT BUYING A THING. INTERNET PEOPLE... DON'T USE THEIR CRAP... THANK YOU i

I got 5 videos (. Mxf) from TV that recorded one of our events, the files were larger than 10GB, I tried to convert them to mp4 and I tried with many software but failed to convert them, I just downloaded Freemake and converted my files, I also just paid small amount to remove the logo.
Additionally, I got a small issue regarding my subscription, I sent an email to support they replied to me very quickly and refunded the amount to me. That was very good for them.

Freemake is very slow to download Once a file is downloaded it disappears into some temporary file where it cannot be found I have clicked to try and get it to go videos but still disappears I then have to redownload using another app Freemake is useless

I wasn't impressed. I tried to combine a bunch of mp3s, and it couldn't read half of them. All I got were errors. They played just fine in VLC which plays most files. I downloaded them again several times as mp3 and mp4 files, thinking maybe there was a glitch downloading. Finally, I gave up and went online to Clideo which had no problem reading my files and combined them for free. I wasted my time for hours trying to get Freemake to work. I thought I'd try combining the big files I made online, which now Freemake magically could read. The only thing is to do this, they wanted money. I just uninstalled it. What a waste of my time. It's funny, they never respond to our reviews either.

They lead you to believe their software is free, so I downloaded & installed it. Instructions #1 (images included) says it converts MP4 video to MP3, which is the only reason I installed it. During my very 1st time using this software, attempting to convert from MP4 to MP3, I got a message that ''Conversion to MP3 is available in Freemake Gold Pack" So they advertised the conversion I needed, THEN tell me I need a DIFFERENT program?
The next message gave me pricing options to get the Freemake Gold Pack. When I closed it, I got a pop-up window with BUY or ALREADY HAVE KEY, but no way to CLOSE THE POP UP! Wasted my time with their LIES!

Freemake software is an easy convenient way of converting different file types to easy to view videos etc. To view wherever or whenever you feel like. Highly recommended.
