We, at GeeksDashboard, have been giving a lot of video editors a spin and have a lot of them. While all of them work pretty solid, they are usually limited in functionality to serve a single purpose like just editing videos. Every time you need to perform a different task on video, you’ll need to hunt for and download a different video manipulation tool. But, what if I tell you there exists a single video tool that can perform all the operations like converting, burning, downloading and editing video in one single package? Sounds super convenient, right? Well, that is what iMedia Converter claims to accomplish and so here’s our review of iSkysoft’s iMedia Converter Deluxe.
Note: We’ll be reviewing iSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe on our MacBook Air running the latest macOS Sierra 10.12 beta. System RequirementsiMedia Converter Deluxe supports both the desktop operating systems, Windows and macOS. The Windows version supports the latest and the support goes all the way back to Windows XP.
The minimum system requirements for Windows are as follows:. Processor: 750MHz Intel or AMD CPU. Free Hard Disk Space: 100 MB or more. RAM: 256 MB or above.The Mac version supports all the OS X macOS versions from 10.7 Lion to the latest macOS Sierra 10.12.
The minimum system requirements for macOS are as follows:. CPU: 1G Hz Intel processor or above. Memory: At least 512M physical RAMAs you can see, the system requirement are really bare minimum, so iMedia Converter Deluxe should work pretty well on a low-end computer, too.iMedia Converter Deluxe Features 1. Convert Any Audio and Video FilesiMedia Converter Deluxe features an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface. To load a video/audio just drag and drop the source file into the application window. You can load multiple media files at once, and once you’ve done so, the listing should be populated in the window.
Just below this listing, you can select the target format for the media file. I was successfully able to convert a 10-minute Full-HD video for my iPhone within a matter of seconds and was able to get it playing smoothly on my iPhone. Also, it features a handy “ Add to iTunes” shortcut so you can quickly add the converted media files to iTunes.Alongside, it can also convert videos to 3D MP4, 3D MOV and 3D MKV formats. Please note that converting to most 3D-specific formats may take a little longer because high-speed conversion is not supported in these formats. Other media formats include editing-specific formats like iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Apple ProRes, ProRes HQ and formats optimised for web-sharing like Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and other flash formats. For an exhaustive list of all the supported formats, check out their.Overall, I found the conversion speed to be quite fast, thanks to the use of GPU acceleration.
The high-speed conversion feature works on most of the media formats, excluding some of the formats like the 3D formats and Apple ProRes. Download Online VideosiSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe can download online videos from sites like YouTube, Facebook, DailyMotion, Metacafe and supports over 1000+ different sites. To download an online video, just copy the link of the video and navigate to the “Download” tab in iMedia Converter Deluxe. The handy “Paste URL” option automatically pastes the link from the clipboard and initiates the download. It also comes with support for pause/resume downloads, so you can download videos even on sketchy networks.The “ YouTube Mp3” option allows you to directly download only the audio part of a. The “ Turbo Mode” accelerates download speeds, but is available only to registered users.
Finally, there’s a “ Download then Convert” option which, as its name implies, automatically converts the downloaded media to a format of your choice. You can select any of one of the formats we’ve seen above. It has browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari to help breeze through the online video download process. I could successfully install the Safari extension, but the Chrome extension seems to be missing from the Chrome Web Store. Also, one major thing that bugs me is that the default download resolution for YouTube is set to 480p.
Thankfully, there’s a quick fix available in the settings. Head over to iSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe settings and navigate to the “Download” tab. Here, you can select the desired YouTube video quality to a higher quality like HD, Full-HD, or even 4K for supported videos.3. Video EditingiSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe has inbuilt basic. To edit a video, just drag-and-drop to load it in the application window. Next, click on the “edit” icon placed on the right side of the video listing.The video editing interface should now pop up.Here’s a quick rundown of the editing tools available:.
Video Mode: Normal, Stereo, 180°, 360°. Video trim: Trim video from the mentioned start time to the end time. Adjust Video: Crop and change the aspect ratio. Change orientation and flip video horizontally or vertically. It also supports Deinterlacing, so you can convert an interlaced video, such as common analogue television signals or 1080i format HDTV signals, into a non-interlaced form. Video Effects: Adjust volume, brightness, contrast, saturation and apply from pre-defined filters like tinted, old-film, grayscale, etc.
Watermark: Add a text or an image-based watermark and set its transparency throughout the video. Subtitle: Encode a subtitle with a font of your choice and set its desired position in the video.It comes with an inbuilt media player, so you can preview these changes in real time. Once you’ve edited the video to your liking, click on “Done” to save the video. Ultimate DVD SolutioniSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe clubs all the DVD tools you may require under a single umbrella. The following DVD solutions are available in the latest version:. Convert DVD: iMedia Converter Deluxe can help you convert your DVD to a compatible format so you can play them on any device of your choice.
Burn DVD: Easily import and burn multimedia files on your DVD.Alongside, you can perform all the “regular” tasks like DVD backup and video editing before actually burning them to a DVD. Please note that I was not able to test the DVD feature because, well, the MacBook doesn’t come with a DVD drive. But, given how other features work flawlessly, I expect the DVD read/write speeds and related features to be top-notch, too.
ISkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe: PricingThe iMedia Converter Deluxe is offered in two versions: a trial version and a registered version. The trial version imposes certain restrictions like the video conversion length limit is set to 1/3rd of the original video, download cap of only 5 videos from online sites. The registered version does away with all these restrictions and unlocks other features like downloading YouTube songs with one click, lossless copy of DVD. It also entitles you to free technical support and upgrades.The personal 1-year license for 1 Mac/Windows starts at $39.95. The lifetime license for Windows costs $49.95 while the lifetime license for Mac costs about $58.95. There’s also a customizable business license available, too.
ISkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe: Final VerdictIn my thorough testing, the iMedia Converter Deluxe has left me quite impressed. For years, I’ve been looking for a tool that can be a one-stop tool for all my video portability purposes, and I’m glad that it fits the bill. Right from installing it, to converting a video to a wide range of formats — the folks over at iSkysoft have taken care to make the process as straightforward as possible. Downloading videos from online sites like YouTube, Facebook and over 1000+ websites is an added bonus for sure.
The site also offers basic video editing tools and a complete DVD solution. Also, I like how well the company has thrown in macOS specific feature like the media browser, so you can quickly add a media file from iTunes and iMovie.
Depending on how much work you want to do, I would say BIAB is easier to get up and running. It essentially generates an accompaniment for you based on the chords, tempo, and style you choose. Some say it is complex.
It does have a lot of features in from the years of growth but most are not needed to get very good sounding accompaniment. With the addition of RealTracks and RealDrums, the sound is awesome.RealBand does most of the same but gives you more control over your tracks. If you're used to Sonar or something, RealBand should give you no problem. I'm still a BIAB user at gigs. I am playing around with RealBand and it is on my list to move my BIAB songs into RealBand once RealBand matures a little more and works out the kinks.My advice would be purchase the BIAB package that includes RealBand and spend a little time with both. This forum has a lot of experienced people who can help with just about anything.Rachael#17004 - 03/13/09 03:56 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows Re: Difference between Band in a Box & Real Band?. If yours ain't broke, don't fix it.
Those I can remember are:- BSTSW drums don't generate properly. Measures are silent when changing from A/B part markers- Some diminished chords with a pedal bass don't generate properly in the RealBass- RealDrums and RealTracks often generate past ending.and a few more I can't remember right nowI'm sure some of these will be addressed in next updateR#17006 - 03/14/09 12:35 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows Re: Difference between Band in a Box & Real Band?. To me Rachael, all those things are little nothings but that's just me. They are valid points. I've been a pro musician for 40 years and I look at these programs to give me some good raw material to work with not to complete the tune for me. Key phrase is raw material. RB is a midi/audio recording program with a ton of really neat features that you use to record and/or create with.I take tracks from many different sources, prerecorded midi files, Biab generated tracks, my own playing and put them all together with lots of editing, cutting, pasting etc.
And lots of experimenting. Having a Real Track generate a bar past the end of the tune is nothing to me, I can cut that out, do a quick fade where I chopped it faster than I can type this post. For me this kind of thing is standard procedure and I find it a lot of fun. It sounds like you're not using the program much because of these glitches. Work with it, it will do a lot for you. These things are certainly worth mentioning to the developers but I wouldn't let them stop me from using the program, they're easily worked around and there's nothing else that does what it does.Bob.
Hi All,I'm new here, I bought BIAB & RB but has been only using RB to put up my new song with the style and the instruments available with it. So far, still trying out how to use the features to enhance the song.After reading some of the posting in the forum, if i understand correctly, many of you using BIAB then import into RB.
Is it true?How does help to enhance the song arrangement or other aspect?Need some advice as I am new to the such software, and has little knowledge about music, this is only my first piece of work.Edited by y2koutsider ( 03/18/09 01:27 AM)#17010 - 03/18/09 08:42 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows Re: Difference between Band in a Box & Real Band?. I think a lot of people import BIAB songs is because they were BIABers before RealBand came out.
I have several hundred arrangements done in BIAB and if I need more control over them, they can easily be imported into RealBand.BIAB will allow you to try a bunch of different things without too much effort. You can change styles, drums, etc and hear the result by just hitting play. For live performances, BIAB offers plenty of features such as the conductor that allow you to change things on the fly. RealBand is not for that. It takes your arrangement and 'sets it in stone'.RealBand gives you much more control over how your arrangement sounds but involves more 'hands-on' from you. BIAB does most of that for you.Hope this helps,Rachael#17011 - 03/18/09 09:45 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows Re: Difference between Band in a Box & Real Band?.
Hi Rachael,thanks! It sure help, guess Maybe I'll restart and tried using BIAB with the song instead(Should I?), as I was having difficulty using RB ( I am unsure how to do it) with a few things.1.
Changing style for certain instrument, tried many times in RB but maybe I miss out a few steps.2. Everytime if I add in addition chords to the song by hitting the 'Generate' or '+' it generates the song and change the instruments as well.#17012 - 03/20/09 11:08 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows Re: Difference between Band in a Box & Real Band?.
If you are new to both programs, Biab is probably easier to use than Real Band. A Biab style controls what instruments are used so if you change styles and regenerate, you could hear all new instruments or maybe one or two depending on the style. In RB if you are using the first 8 tracks as Biab tracks, then it works the same way when you hit the generate button.
BUT and this is where RB is so good, you can highlight a track outside of the first 8 like track 11 or 32 or whatever and select a style, then right click anywhere in the track and select either midi or a Real Track and then it will generate that one track only. The reason I like Real Band so much is I can either import a Biab song or create one from scratch using RB's chord grid (the same as Biab) and generate the song. That gives me a starting point.
Then I start highlighting other tracks starting with 9 and generating new tracks using all different styles, some midi and some Real Tracks or drums. You have 40 additional tracks to play with. Just remember that by highlighting one track and using the right mouse click to select the instrument will generate that track only and leave the rest alone.
Now you can have several different styles in the same song using both midi and RT's. That can be very cool.Biab is easier to use because you put in the chords, select the style and that's it, done but with a lot fewer choices than Real Band.Bob. Thanks for asking this, I am also new to BIAB and RB and from a newbie perspective is it VERY confusing, there seems to be a lot of overlap between the 2 products and the line is blurred where one product ends and the next begins, the recommended strategies for getting them to work together, which is better to use based on what you are trying to accomplish, etc. This topic alone that addresses the difference between the 2 products could be its own white paper which I wish PG would publish.#17016 - 01/13/10 09:28 PM Band-in-a-Box for Windows Re: Difference between Band in a Box & Real Band?.
Bking,I used to assemble my arrangements in BIAB and then mix the final product in RB. I no longer do that. These days, I use BIAB to settle on the best style for a song because it's quick and easier to change styles and demo them (as some others above also do). I don't worry about trying to develop an arrangement in BIAB - I just go for the 'overall'. When I've settled on a style, I then load the BIAB file in RB and use the BIAB file as the foundation for an arrangement I develop in RB. RB is much more powerful in that it gives me greater control over tracks and sections of tracks.As Mac has said, though, much of it has to do with what you get used to.Regards,Noel.

I use the software for hours every day, since my retirement. It's first thing on my mind in the morning and the last thing at night. Perhaps I'm obsessed. I did just manage to clean the kitchen, run the dishwasher, and make the coffee, start the supper meat defrosting, and listen to the news though!I suggest any new user go a 'hunting'.
Find Band In a Box files using google.I've gotten thousands of jazz classics, and use them all the time.Another good source of starting material is to acquire a fake book and backing tracks from Notes Norton. I got the 60's Rock and Roll fakebook and have had lots of good times with that. He has the Mantooth series of jazz books, and those are a great start for someone wanting to do jazz.I'll admit that I don't seem to need Realband for my purposes. My workflow is Band in a Box to Audacity. Audacity is free, and I'm used to it.
I can sing my song, record the Band in a Box output and vocal into Audacity and trim the front and back, shine it up a bit, and save it as an mp3. That's it.Lots of people where will help you. New users should post their setup, ie computer, operating system, sound devices, and type of music, with an example song they want to work on and ask for some help. We all go our own way, but you'll get lots of 'advice' on how the song evolves. Do all the regular things, determine the number of repeats you want, add a solo, put in lyrics so you get the hang of that, and explore plug ins.(unless you have a 64 bit operating system and you might have to wait.).
