Why Choose Format Factory?įormat Factory supports about two dozen formats, which obviously includes the majority of the most commonly used and famous formats. Why would you want to do all this? The conversion may be necessary or optional, but mostly people who know about technicalities prefer to do so to save space on their hard drive disks and to make the transfer of files more fluid than before. While not only the files gotten off the internet can be converted into whatever format one desires, it also enables the users to convert the files already saved, and even those which have been saved on external storage devices, for instance CDs and DVDs. It is as its name indicates: an entire factory of different formats, which is, perhaps, its biggest advantage over its competitors. Now, I can't use it at all, other than the two-versions-old edition, which has serious problems with aspect-ratio management.I don't know what these guys are thinking, or WHY the pulled a perfectly good protocol - the ONLY one usable with the Zune 30 - but, there you have it.This is a converter for the multimedia files out there.

They have NO support - NO product forum on their website, and polite email to both of the addresses they provide is immeditately and completely IGNORED.I feel like a bigger fool for having so enthusiastically recommended this program to so many people. Well, it installed to the new path - but, it went and DELETED the 1.85 path.Nice work, guys.I'm at my wits end. I installed 2.0 to a new path, so that I'd still have 1.85, and thus, still be able to use my Zune 30. Dang, my post submitted while I was still typing! I can't see any way to edit or delete it, if someone can get rid of the scrap, please do, thanks!Anyway, they came out with a NEW update - version 2.0 - like a fool, I spent an hour or so downloading it and installed it and good grief, not only did they NOT restore the WMV1 encoding they REMOVED with the last update, but they ADDED a nifty misfeature - constant 'COM Surrogate has stopped working' errors while running unrelated apps, copying files, etc.Yes, they BROKE my OPERATING SYSTEM!I tracked it down to a problem with the FFMpeg component included with this edition of Format Factory - and remedied it by REMOVING Format Factory.I originally TRIED to play it safe, just in case.
