It works, but slow and with anomalies
I’m an audiovisual professional. I have a bunch of highly-compressed .ASF files from a video surveillance system to convert. My professional converter apps don’t do .ASF files, and I haven’t found CODECs that will allow them to unpack an .ASF file. Total Video Converter DOES do the job, although slowly, and with the CPU nearly maxed-out (you can hear the fan whine as it’s processing a day’s batch of 200+ files.) My computer has the Graphics upgrade, yet the program seems to do everything in the CPU.
ANOMALIES:
•Occasional [This program quit unexpectedly] events.
•Some files are processed with a speed-ramp in them, i.e., the file will have a slow-mo section in the middle 2/3rds of the file, rather than playing real-time (although at a low frame rate) all the way through. These files seem to be where the processor works extra-hard and takes extra-long to finish the file (3x~5x longer.)
PROS:
•It works better than the other programs I tried.
Compared to the way my pro conversion software (Adobe Media Encoder, Compressor) work, this program feels amateurish. But, as it’s the best at doing this particular task, I’ll continue to use it.
