Free Audio Video Studio 8.8.0

Free Audio Video Studio is not a single tool, but a package of applications that help you perform various tasks and actions. The included programs are organized into 4 categories: video, audio, miscellaneous, and photo. The photo category is rather unpopulated - only two apps are present: a slideshow maker and a video to GIF converter. Anyway, the other categories include a lot more tools. For example, the miscellaneous one includes 3 apps to create, burn, and extract ISO disc image files, 7 tools to convert and manage PDF documents, and 4 programs to grab and convert videos from the Internet. The audio category contains a couple of converters that support the popular formats like MP3, FLAC, WMA, and M4A, a sound recorder, a ringtone maker, a disc burner and some editing tools that let you modify audio tracks, cut them, or join them together. Last but not least, the video group is the most impressive. There are a lot of converters here, supporting widely-used formats like 3GP, FLV, WebM, MP4, AVI, WMV, and others. You can also use the included utilities to extract the sound track from videos and save them to standalone audio files. An HD converter is also available, as well as some handy DVD rippers.

All the tools included in Free Audio Video Studio are simple to use, reliable and really handy. Best of all, they're also all free. Simply put, Free Audio Video Studio is a great software package to have, as it spares the need to download and install separate tools for every task you need to perform. As for flaws, its installer comes plagued with a lot of offers to install unneeded additional software or to change your browser’s default settings. Anyway, if you manage to pay enough attention to the installation, you will eventually obtain a great package of apps for free and with no downsides involved.
