After a long week I spent today getting routine med tests, so just got a look at the Aiseesoft Total Media Converter a couple/few hours ago -- with apologies then for the lateness here's the basics on it, as tested in win7 64, as well as XP Pro, win732, & win8 32 dev preview VMs.
-----------
Aiseesoft Total Media Converter is very similar to better video converters that have been offered on GOTD. Installation is low impact, & it runs on XP, win7 32 & 64 bit, & the win8 dev preview. It's fast, but the quality of re-sized video was a bit uneven, & ATI hardware acceleration not only didn't work with an AMD/ATI 6870 graphics card, but turning it on slowed things down considerably. Based on tests I'd recommend it if 1) you didn't have an alternative, or 2) you were working with HD rather than DVD video. With these converters that use ffmpeg [ffmpeg.org], newer is usually better if/when they include newer versions of ffmpeg, which itself is under continual development, so there is reason to try newer video converters out when you've already picked one up from GOTD in the past.
Testing 5 minutes of DVD mpeg2 video, converting to 855x480 AVC video [DroidX], with ATI assist off it took 50 seconds, with up to 99% CPU, up to 1% GPU, & a final file size of 55 MB -- with ATI assist on it took ~5 minutes, used 12-18% CPU, up to 3% GPU, & the final file was 51 MB. Testing 5 minutes of HD video [1080p AVC in a MKV container], converting to 720p AVC with ATI assist off took 4 min. 4 sec. using up to 99% CPU [no measurable GPU], with a final file size of 295 MB -- with ATI assist on it took 5 minutes, used ~33% CPU [no measurable GPU], with a final files size of 253 MB. Both HD renders looked great -- DVD renders had trouble with horisontal edges/lines that was especially noticable in scenes with panning or zooming. While the 720p AVC video produced looked very good, it did not pass Blu-Ray compliance testing, so some Blu-Ray authoring apps will insist on re-encoding, & as-is it may or may not play on your Blu-Ray player.
I didn't test Aiseesoft Total Media Converter with DVDs that had DRM, but it will open DVDs as well as video files. As with most all of these converters there's no way to import separate video & audio tracks -- It's not a deal breaker but it does mean that if you have separate tracks your'll have to combine [mux] them elsewhere. Editing tools let you add watermarks, trim video length, adjust brightness etc., & crop. [Note that unless you shot the video yourself, there should be little cause to fool with things like brightness -- e.g. if a DVD looks too dark it's probably your system &/or software -- & usually the only time you want to crop is when you'll play the results on a PC.]
Installation adds the "Aiseesoft Studio" program folder with 92 files, 8 folders, & ~63 MB -- running it through the PortableApps.com App Compactor the same folders has 92 files, 8 folders, ~36 MB [Note that you should keep a copy of the original folder & test thoroughly after compacting should you choose to use it]. A folder gets added to the User MyDocuments folder, with a 2nd folder under All Users Application Data [XP] or ProgramData [win7/8], & a 3rd folder added to User\ Local Settings\ Application Data [XP] or User\ AppData\ Local [win7/8]. The registry gets an uninstall key, one key for the app, & 1 empty CLSID key.
