Stellar is the perfect name for this converter.

When I think about how long it would take a man to travel to the nearest stellar star, it matched how long it takes to convert a video.

It has a rather amateurish interface, although if substance triumphs over style then it is of little consequence.

It's fairly limited in the type of file types that it can produce, although the range of settings for each type is not too shabby a list to choose from.

There are some customisation options such as rotate, a very limited effects pallet, trim, crop and watermark but they are pretty basic, so don't expect any stellar editing options.

The slow conversion though just makes this nothing that sets it apart from many free alternatives and I'm afraid that I would never see myself choosing this for any reason.

Failed to convert on first try, successfully converted on second try - no reason.

Not very flexible or intelligent.

For example, does not offer to collect all files from a directory or subdirectory tree and make conversions in place next to originals, nor does it offer to make conversion in a mirror tree of your choice.

This is more of a one-hammer-one-nail at a time, even though you can collect a series of nails by hand to put in the queue ... for the same output directory regardless of input directory.

Challenge: I'd like to convert all non-MP3 files in a music directory and it's subdirectories that are already divided by artist, into MP3 files in the same directory tree in the same directories where the non-MP3 files were found.

FREE FlacSquisher v1.3.8 does this for FLAC files, Converts to MP3 ( or Ogg Vorbis ), maintains directory structure from original library, takes advantage of multicore processors, can copy or ignore files by extension ( album art, log files ), ignores files already encoded previously ( YES ! ), compatible with Mono on Linux.

Yes, v1 of FlacSquisher does all that.

v2 of Stellar does not.

I was hoping to find an equivalent of FlacSquisher for M4A and other non-MP3 music files.

Stellar ain't it.

Note: Stellar Converter for Audio Video 2.0 does not seem to be a current offering at their web site, I could not find it from their home page and browsing menus, so this is either a tease to get us to buy their data recovery software without actually offering their data recovery software here, or a beta test for a new spinoff division of the company, away from data recovery.

How would you improve Stellar Converter for Audio Video 2.0?

Make it at least as functional as the free competition.

Then add more to make it worth more, to make it worth paying for.

I believe that non-competitive products survive because, oddly, some shoppers do not comparison shop ( seriously, with a world wide Internet at their fingertips, apparently Google is tooooo haaaard ? ), and instead they believe the first sales-pitch blah-blah-blah at the first site they land on, then whip out their credit cards and beg to be put out of their misery.

How long is the License good for?

MikeDog, from perspective of previous giveaways from them, they had 6 months or 1 year licenses, so i'd assume it's either of that.

It's a shame GOTD doesn't post this important info for all giveaways, so i guess they just go with what the offering companies give them, when it comes to license durations, instead of demanding it.
