    PROS: Many of the A/V synchronization issues associated with iMovie can be eliminated. Most major recording features are found within a single bundle; preventing multiple third-party downloads.

  17. PROS: The menu and conversion tool is very easy to understand. Does not hog your CPU when processing. Has a fair number of output file options. See a preview of your video before converting.
    CONS: Does not use multiple-cores to speed things up. It should allow SWF file conversions. Rather slow when converting HD files. Cannot recover your place if you stop converting half way.
