This software is overall very good quality. It runs very well on my computer. It is very good at what it does, consistently encoding at high speed. It is free to everyone, meaning it has a very large audience. Many people would use it over a paid solution simply because of the cost. It is also very well optimized, having a very small download size, great for people with download caps. It works on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8 . 1, and Windows 10. It is supported by the latest windows updates which cannot be said for every piece of software. It also uninstalls from the control panel, meaning it is easy to uninstall and remove all traces of the software. I'm not sure why the developers chose to host it on a software portal as opposed to their own site. It opened within seconds of clicking the program, it has very little overhead and even runs on my old computer and 4GB of slow DDR3 ram. It seems to be well optimized for my dual core. I also like that you can choose the program installation folder as opposed to defaulting to program files. The system requirements are ridiculously low, which is great for POS systems that haven't been updated in years. It would work perfectly for an old computer in a corporate environment that can't be upgraded since the requirements are so low. I could run this on a potato and I'm sure it'd run well.

One negative is that it is hosted on a generic software portal instead of a standalone site. The developers have their own site, but they choose to host it on a generic software portal, which is not the best way to host it.
