Aleesoft Free iPad Video Converter 2.3

Aleesoft Free iPad Video Converter is a multi-format video converter. The application can open pretty much any video file and convert it to a variety of other formats. For a free tool, this converter has a lot of features and support for a lot of formats. The one feature that caught my eye was subtitle support. If you have a video file with SRT subtitles, you can add the subtitles and they will be hard-coded to the video, so that you can enjoy them on your iPad. Aleesoft Free iPad Video Converter can also copy files from a Blu-ray movie path and use them as input, so it kind of doubles as a movie ripper as well.

In terms of design, although it looks a bit generic, the application has a very simple design, which makes it intuitive.

In my testing, I used two different files. First I used a standard DIVX .AVI file, which I converted to the iPad HD Video profile. No problems found. The quality was OK and the conversion speed was on par with other converters. I then tried an MKV file, just to be thorough. The video was great but the audio was all messed up. I don't blame the application, though, MKV is one of the toughest formats out there and apps are just now starting to get MKV conversion right.

All in all, this is a nice converter which has quite a few interesting features. It has several different conversion profiles, both for iPads and other devices. It works well enough with most formats.
