The Negatives: it still has a problem with converting 720p videos/files from Windows Media Center (WTV) format to M2ts format with the audio being out of sync by it being delayed.

In addition, now it doesn't convert over any files from Univision for some strange reason.

The Posistives: H.265 hardware-acceleration encoding which is main reason why anybody should buy this application especially if you have a Nvidia Maxwell card.

The conversion are faster than PowerDirector 13. Even though the audio is still out of sync on when converting over WTV files over to M2ts, the conversion speed is much faster.

It also has a free screen capture, but unfortunately, the screen capture only does 480p, 720p, 1080p, it doesn't capture in 21:9 ASPECT RATIO, which is what alot of PC gamers have in regard to monitors, it only goes up to 30fps (even Youtube is now allowing uploading in 60fps) and you can't change the bitrate or specify what compression you want to use out of H.264 and H.265 so in other words, it's useless........but it's still free though.

In closing: as I stated, the main reason to buy this application is for H.265 hardware-acceleration encoding. Cyberlink came out with this function first and before Nvidia did with their Shadowplay. So if you want smaller file sizes with the same quality as H.264, you need to check out this application, PowerDirector 14, with a Nvidia Maxwell card or Intel's Skylake APU......you will be much pleased.
