I didn't even get to install the Speed Pack. Freemake Video Converter is only free to download. Any program that cripples a free version (adding banners on the output video) is called Crippleware, not Freeware.

Converted a video with xmedia recode and "Super Speed" Freemake. xmedia recode took 7 minutes, "Super Speed" Freemake took 9 minutes plus it added branding to start and end which you have to pay $19.95 to remove. No thank you. Uninstalled.

"Freemake splash will be added at the beginning and the end of the video"
Hopeless!!

"Only need pay 9.95/19.95" for remove it..
1year/unlimited

Is just the speed free today, but not splash free??

This is a joke!
With the key received via email, the giveaway was activated ...

I then tried to convert 2 18mb WMV files referred to in previous post. I'm told branding would be inserted at the beginning & end. I thought this was a bad joke & cross-checked if I have the activated version.
I decide to decline the branding which is avoidable in another offered paid version. The program goes ahead and converts the 2 files with branding at the beginning & end.

If I'm not mistaken, just like user #1 who got same problem, this is not worth it at all and if I get this confirmed a big no thank you to Freemake. There are much more sensible programs which do the same tasks for free & without such shameful additions to one's videos.

... but ... I may be mistaken. If I'm not, it's absolutely not worth it at all.

Hi

It is good that Freemake gives this Super Speed Pack as a Giveaway, but it leaves me with some bitter taste all the same.
Once you try to close the program, there's this unavoidable pop-up offering the Gold Pack! Why if you are giving a full version do you leave this nagging window there? I would understand this if it was in the free version.

It reminds me of a recent unconnected encounter a few days ago with the free version of this converter.
I have been a long time user of the Video downloader, free version and I'm quite happy with it and know Freemake makes good stuff and thought the free version of their software is all usable. I quickly wanted to convert some relatively short 2 WMV files, each 18mb to mp4 & got the free version of the converter. To my dismay they had some logo or text of Freemake across them and something else I do not remember was not OK! They were not usable anyway.
I immediately removed it and got another converter that did the job without any strings or "ropes" attached. Why can they for example, if they want you to buy their software, at least allow one to have a demo version with full features for a limited time or think of some other limitation other than splashing Freemake text across it?

Anyway, that is another issue, but that tarnished the image I had about Freemake. So I was not surprised after getting a giveaway that has this inescapable "Upgrade to King Level" window popping up every time you want to close the program. I think it's not so good for reputation, in an age when there are lots of free programs that can do similar stuff.

Anyway, ... Regards
