Wondershare UniConverter is a reliable and speedy video converter. Of course, its performance depends heavily on your computer’s specs. Our Score: 8.5/10.
You probably know that the process of converting videos is a highly complex one – especially if you change the resolution and apply different kinds of adjustments to the original file. Well, when talking about this application’s performance, it's hard to give any concrete numbers as this depends on how powerful is your computer. However, we can tell you that we were more than happy with how fast UniConverter performed during our testing, even though it's not the fastest one out there.
For example, we have used this application to convert a video – 1080p resolution, with the size of the file being 168MB. The output file was a 720p video, and we didn’t change the format in the process (it was MP4 on both ends). So, we essentially shrunk the size and resolution of the video file – from 1080p to 720p for a video that’s 5 minutes long. And this entire process took a bit over 6 minutes to be completed.
