AVS4You AVS4YOU Bundle Review: Affordable Video and Audio Editing with Hidden Functionality

The AVS4YOU bundle is a great option for those who want to edit videos and audio without breaking the bank. The programs included in the bundle are not as advanced as some of the more expensive options out there, but they are still very functional and can produce high-quality results. I have primarily used the Video Editor, but have also dabbled in Audio editing, and have found both programs to be very user-friendly.

One thing that I have noticed is that there is a lot more functionality hidden within these programs than what is initially presented in the user interface. By exploring alternative paths and mixing and matching various functions, I have been able to approximate some of the features that are not available in the standard interface. This has allowed me to create some really impressive videos, even though I am not a professional editor.

Overall, I would rate the AVS4YOU bundle at 5 stars out of 5. It is a great value for the price, and I have grown accustomed to using the programs over the past year. However, I would caution any new users that these programs are easy to learn but hard to master. Even after years of using them, I still feel like there is so much more to learn in order to create truly professional-grade videos. But for those who are willing to put in the time and effort, the AVS4YOU bundle is definitely worth considering.

AVS4You Mixed Feelings About AVS4YOU: Lifetime Upgrades Policy and Support Issues

I've been using AVS4YOU for quite some time now, and I must say that I have mixed feelings about it. I started using it back in 2009, and since then, I have upgraded to new machines as better hardware has developed. However, I recently ran into an issue with their "lifetime upgrades" policy. They changed it to "lifetime on ONLY that 1 computer", which means that if you replace your hard drive or switch to a new computer, you'll have to buy another license.

I had to replace the hard drive on my video processing computer, and when I tried to reinstall AVS, I found out that I had to buy another license since it is now "only for the machine on which it was originally installed". I tried to explain to their support team that it was still the same machine, just with a new hard drive, but they didn't seem to understand. They offered me a 20-30% discount on another license, but my old license was now dead.

Another issue I had with AVS was their lack of understanding of 64-bit questions. When I asked if there was a 64-bit code base, they kept telling me that the current product runs on 32 and 64-bit Windows OS. They just didn't seem to understand that I was looking for a 64-bit product.

After trying to reason with their support team, I decided to switch to Wondershare products. They were much faster, and their support was great.

However, since writing this review, I have been contacted repeatedly by the sales team at AVS. They set up a new account for me and offered me a 50% discount on a new "lifetime" license on a single machine. It seems that they still don't understand the concept of a "lifetime" license, and they don't seem to care about fixing the original problems.

Overall, I would say that AVS4YOU is a decent product, but their customer support and policies need improvement. If you're looking for a reliable video processing software, I would recommend trying out Wondershare products instead.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Software Review: The Best Tool for Adding Time and Date Stamps to Videos

This software, AVS4YOU, is truly amazing. If you're in the legal field or an investigator, this software is a must-have. It's the best software out there for adding time and date stamps to your videos, and I can say that with complete confidence. I was given a cracked version of the software by someone, and after trying it out once, I knew I had to purchase a few legit copies. The value of this software is beyond worth it, especially when you consider all the other programs that come with it.

At first, I was only interested in one of the many programs that AVS4YOU offers, but then I realized how useful the others are, which are also included in the package. It's unbelievable! However, I was a bit irritated when I found out that I could only use the software on one computer. I mean, who are they to tell me what computers I can put my purchased program on when only I am using it? So, I decided to send an email to customer service before making my purchase. I have to admit, my email wasn't exactly nice, but I was pleasantly surprised by the fast response and solution to my problem.

Not only did this company gain a lifelong customer, but they will also get many referrals from me. When I find a company that treats me well, I treat them well. The customer service is great, and if you have a problem, just email them. They are trying to prevent pirates and keep in mind that they are in business to make money and provide a good product. So, let's support them so they can continue to provide us with amazing software like AVS4YOU.

Overall, I highly recommend AVS4YOU to anyone who needs to add time and date stamps to their videos. It's easy to use, affordable, and comes with a ton of other useful programs. So, what are you waiting for? Give it a try and see for yourself!

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Great Software, Terrible Customer Service

I've been using AVS4YOU for about 6 years now, and I have to say, I was pretty impressed with their software when I first started using it. I actually got the software for free for a year because I agreed to promote them on my website. But after that year was up, I decided to buy the full package because I found their software so useful.

However, I have to say that my opinion of AVS4YOU has gone down quite a bit recently. They actually nullified my registration key because I tried to install the software on my laptop. I don't think I was breaking any rules, but apparently they didn't agree. The thing is, the computer that I originally installed the software on was stolen, so I had to install it on a new computer. But apparently that's not allowed.

So, if you're thinking about buying AVS4YOU, just be aware that if you ever need to install it on a new computer, you might have to buy it all over again. They don't seem to care about their customers, and they just want to milk as much money from you as possible.

I used to have a lot of respect for AVS4YOU, but now I'm pretty disappointed in them. I don't think I'll be promoting them anymore, and I definitely won't be recommending them to anyone else.

That being said, I do think that there are some great free alternatives out there if you're looking for video editing software. You might want to check out some of the options on Alternativeto.net. There are some really good ones out there that won't cost you a dime.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Unlimited License: Not So Unlimited After All

I bought an AVS4YOU license a few years back and opted for the Unlimited option because I don't use the program very often. I've upgraded my computer a couple of times since then and the license would update automatically, but not this time. When I looked into it, I found out that the new license agreement doesn't allow for switching computers. I mean, come on! If AVS4YOU wants to have this policy, that's their business, but they should at least explain clearly what they mean by an Unlimited License in their marketing and sales literature. They could also be more considerate and "grandfather" those systems that were sold under the original unlimited agreement. It wouldn't be that hard.

As someone who travels a lot for work, I once bought an unlimited car rental upgrade plan. Several years later, they changed the agreement and my unlimited plan became useless. That's fine, but I haven't rented a car from that company in over 20 years and I never will again. AVS4YOU won't be seeing any more of my business either. If you choose to do business with this company, just know that they don't always mean what they say. Unlimited only means for your current computer. If something goes wrong with your computer and you need to replace the motherboard or get a new computer, you'll have to repurchase a license. They strategically don't explain this on the page where you choose between an Annual License or Unlimited License. My advice? Stay away from this company's product. It may work fine, but make sure you know what you're paying for.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Video Converter Review: Easy to Use and Excellent Customer Service

I've been using AVS4YOU for a few years now, but I never really got around to using it much because I didn't want to spend the time learning how to use it. However, I recently found myself in need of a good video conversion software program, so I started looking around. That's when I stumbled upon AVS4YOU Video Converter in a software computer ad. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it had all the functions I needed and more.

I've been using the Video Converter for all of my auto/video projects, and I have to say, I'm impressed with how easy it is to use. The programs are designed logically, so it didn't take me long to figure out how to use them. I'm also happy to report that the customer service has been excellent from the beginning. They've been quick to respond to all of my questions and have been very helpful.

When I first started using the program again, I downloaded the update, but I ran into a problem trying to re-enter my registration code. I contacted support, and they provided me with all the information I needed to register. However, I still couldn't register. They sent me more information, but it still wouldn't work. That's when I started looking for other problems and found out that the remote access device wasn't working correctly on my computer. Once I got that taken care of, the program took the registration code, and everything has been working great ever since.

Overall, I'm very happy with AVS4YOU and the programs they offer. The Video Converter is a great buy, but you get even more programs in the AVS4YOU pack. It's been a very positive experience, and I would definitely recommend it to others. Thank you, AVS4YOU!

AVS4You AVS4YOU "Unlimited" Subscription: A Deceptive Lie

I recently upgraded my computer after two long years of waiting, just so I could enjoy the wonders of VR. I was excited to install my complete "Unlimited" AVS4YOU product, but to my dismay, it would not activate. I was left feeling frustrated and disappointed. I decided to contact their customer support team, hoping they could help me resolve the issue. However, their response left me feeling even more frustrated and disappointed.

The customer support representative informed me that according to the End-User Licence Agreement, AVS4YOU Software is licensed on a per computer basis. Each license purchased is bound to one particular computer and allows using AVS4YOU Software on that single computer. If I install and use or reinstall AVS4YOU software on any other computers, I will have to purchase an additional license for each computer. If I change a computer, I will have to purchase an additional license. This was not what I was expecting when I purchased the "Unlimited" subscription.

I was shocked to learn that the "Unlimited" subscription had total limitations. It was not the unlimited license I was expecting. I felt like I was misled into thinking that I owned the software, but in reality, it was just a limited one computer, one install license. I was disappointed that AVS4YOU was misrepresenting their product to those who purchase it. I will not be purchasing any avangate or AVS products again, ever. I will also be telling everyone I encounter that AVS4YOU and their company are deceptive, lying manipulators without a moral bone in their bodies.

I believe that licenses should be sold to individuals, not loaned to them in a Microsoft type money machine. It is important for companies to be transparent about their products and services, especially when it comes to licensing. Customers should not be left feeling deceived or misled. I hope that AVS4YOU takes this feedback into consideration and makes changes to their licensing policies in the future.

AVS4You AVS Software Suite Review: Beware of the Limitations of the "Unlimited" License Option

I recently got myself a brand new laptop and decided to download the AVS software suite from avs4you.com. I had previously purchased a license code a few years ago and thought it would be a breeze to input it into my new laptop. However, I was met with a message that said the software was already on another computer and I couldn't use it.

I was pretty bummed out about this and decided to reach out to AVS customer support for help. After explaining my situation, they informed me that the license I had purchased was only valid for the lifespan of the computer it was installed on. This meant that even though I had paid for an unlimited license, I could only use it on one computer for three years.

I was pretty disappointed with this news, as I had only intended to use the software suite on one machine. However, AVS informed me that I could purchase a new license for between ?20 and ?50 to use it on my new laptop.

While I understand that AVS has to protect their software and ensure that people aren't sharing licenses, I do think that their unlimited license option is a bit misleading. If you pay for unlimited, you should be able to use it on any computer you own going forward.

Despite this issue, I do think that the AVS software suite is pretty good. It's easy to use and has a lot of features that are helpful for editing videos and audio. However, I do think that potential customers should be aware of the limitations of the unlimited license option before purchasing.

Overall, I would recommend the AVS software suite to anyone who needs a good video or audio editing tool. Just be aware of the limitations of the unlimited license option and make sure you're okay with them before making a purchase.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Reliable Video Editing Software with Great Support

I gotta say, I've been using AVS4YOU for a while now, and I'm pretty impressed. I first tried out their AVS Video Editor 6 back in 2013, and recently upgraded to version 8.1.1. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the user interface was still familiar, but with some new features that made editing even easier.

I started off by opening their sample video, Diving01, just to get re-acquainted with the controls. I played around with the scrubber, text, audio, and fills for about 10 minutes, when suddenly the preview went black. I was pretty frustrated, but I did some digging online and found that other people had experienced the same issue. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a solution anywhere.

So, I decided to reach out to AVS support. I sent them an email describing my computer (Windows 10, Asus 3.8Ghz, 32GB RAM, nVidia graphics card) and the problem I was having. To my surprise, I received a response from someone named Tess within two hours. She gave me step-by-step instructions on how to fix the problem, and it worked like a charm.

After that, I was able to start and finish an 8-minute YouTube video project in just one hour. I had a raw 330 MB file that I converted to .Vob using VLC Editor, from a video shot on my Sony cam. I edited the sound track by muting out some weird noises, and added some text that faded in at the start and end of the video. I even added a logo and contact info.

When I was done, I produced the YouTube video using the built-in option, along with many other format options. I saved it and played it on my PC, and it looked great. Then, I loaded it into my YouTube channel and was thrilled with the results.

Overall, I'm really happy with AVS4YOU. Sure, I had a little trouble with the preview at first, but their support team was quick to respond and helped me fix the problem. Don't believe the people online who say that their support is poor - I'm proof that they're wrong. If you're looking for a reliable video editing software, give AVS4YOU a try.

AVS4You AVS4You Video Converter Review: Lifetime Subscription is a Scam!

I recently purchased AVS4you Video Converter and thought I had a lifetime subscription, but unfortunately, I was wrong. When I got a new computer for Christmas and tried to install AVS Video Converter on it, my license was not accepted. I reached out to their online support form and email at ***@avs4You.com, but it's been three days, and I have not received a response. This is unusual because in the past, they have been quick to respond and provide a new activation code when I had issues like upgrading a failed hard drive or reinstalling Windows.

After doing some research, I found many complaints about AVS4You being non-responsive and their so-called lifetime software purchase. It turns out that their "LIFETIME" offer is only for one machine. If you ever need to replace your machine or get another motherboard, you will have to purchase a new license. Unfortunately, many people do not read the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA), which states the terms of use of their software. The EULA states that their software is restricted to use on one computer only.

If you agree to the EULA, which you have to in order to install the software, then they have the law behind them. It is not their responsibility to ensure that people read the EULA. Instead of being upfront about it and telling people to read the EULA, they have chosen to ignore complaints about it. In the meantime, people like me feel somewhat deceived and complain about it anywhere they can. AVS4You is making a bad mistake in my opinion because a bad reputation always catches up to you. However, they don't seem to care what people are saying about them. This will come back to bite them in the a$$.

Currently, they have a great deal of 75% off on their bundled software for a "LIFETIME." However, it is only a lifetime subscription if you keep it installed on one machine only. Even that is questionable according to many complaints I've read. Many people claim that it deactivates itself and says you are in violation of their terms of service. So, even if it is installed on the exact same machine forever, there is no guarantee that you will be able to use it for a lifetime.

As the old saying goes, "Caveat Emptor," which means "Let the buyer beware."

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Frustrating Experience with Reinstalling Software and Paying Again and Again

I have to say, my experience with AVS4YOU (avs4you.com) has been quite frustrating. I purchased their software a while back and it worked fine for a couple of years. However, when I recently had to reinstall it on my computer, I was shocked to find out that I had to pay for it again. I mean, come on AVS4YOU, what's the deal? I didn't install it on multiple computers, it's the same one!

So, I decided to upgrade to the "Unlimited" version, thinking that would solve the problem. But nope, here I am a couple of years later and I need to reinstall my PC again. And what do you know, AVS4YOU is asking me to pay for it again. I was beyond angered at this point. I mean, seriously, can't your software be a bit cleverer and recognize that it's the same computer?

I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed with AVS4YOU. It's a shame because the software itself is actually pretty decent. But the constant hassle of having to pay for it again and again is just not worth it. So, I've decided to switch to YouCut Pro on my android device. It's a better option for me and they don't give me a ball ache every time I reinstall my phone.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Negligence, Virus Infection, and Refund Denial - Beware!

I recently had a very unpleasant experience with AVS4YOU (avs4you.com). I uploaded a license copy and suddenly, my loaded files were infected with a SRAM virus. This was a major setback for me as I had to spend a lot of time and effort trying to fix the issue. The client support team did try to help by suggesting various alternate projects, but unfortunately, none of them seemed to work. In fact, when I enabled the related subject, other software products were disabled and my unit hung up.

To make matters worse, when I tried to use the io video software, all my loaded jpg, png, MPEG, and pdf files were damaged and blocked. I had to reboot my unit, which incurred additional costs. When I uploaded the audio software, my voice system playback and input were both blocked, which was extremely frustrating.

To add insult to injury, when I requested a refund of my license fee, AVS4YOU ignored my request and did not comply. This is unacceptable behavior from a company that claims to be professional and ethical.

I strongly advise anyone considering using AVS4YOU to be very cautious and aware of the potential risks involved. This kind of negligence should not be tolerated and I hope that AVS4YOU takes steps to improve their services and prevent such incidents from happening in the future.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Fraudulent Business Practices and Unhelpful Customer Service

I recently had a terrible experience with AVS4YOU. I was lured in by their offer of a lifetime license to their video editing software suite for only $59. It seemed like a great deal, so I went ahead and made the purchase.

However, to my surprise, they debited my account twice! I was confused as to why I would need two licenses, and to make matters worse, they only sent me one access code. I immediately reached out to their customer service team to try and resolve the issue.

Unfortunately, they were not very helpful. They refused to cooperate and instead directed me to a third-party intermediary called Avangate BV. This company seemed to be just as unhelpful as AVS4YOU, as they repeatedly referred me back to the original company.

I was extremely frustrated with the situation. Not only had they taken my money, but they were also wasting my time. I felt like I was getting nowhere with their customer service team and was left feeling cheated.

Overall, I would not recommend AVS4YOU to anyone. Their business practices seem fraudulent, and their customer service is unhelpful. I regret ever making a purchase from them and would advise others to steer clear.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Dishonest Tactics and False Promises - Not Worth Your Time or Money

This company, AVS4YOU, is not very good at delivering what they promise to their customers. They don't seem to care about providing real value to their customers, and instead rely on dishonest tactics to scam people and take their money. They make false promises and don't deliver anything beyond what you can already get for free or with your operating system.

One example of this is when they claim to offer an 'unlimited subscription.' However, they don't tell you that this subscription is only good for one computer, and they bury this information in the terms of service, which they have changed. This is not very honest, and it's not a good way to treat your customers.

There are many other examples of this kind of behavior from AVS4YOU. They seem to be more interested in marketing and scams than in providing anything of real value to their customers. This can be very frustrating and disappointing for people who are looking for a good tool to use.

If you're looking for a good tool to use, it's probably best to look elsewhere. There are many other options out there that are more honest and reliable, and that will actually provide you with the value that you're looking for. Don't waste your time or your money on AVS4YOU.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Powerful Video Editing Software, but Not User-Friendly

I've been using AVS4YOU for a while now to create highlight videos of the events I perform at. It's got a lot of features that seem like they would be really useful, but I've found that even the most basic functions can be a bit complicated and require multiple steps to complete.

For example, I have a bunch of short clips that I want to combine into one longer video. I also want to mute the audio on all of the clips and overlay my own music track. However, muting the audio on each individual clip is a real pain because there's no way to select all of them at once and apply the change. Instead, I have to go through and mute each clip one by one, which takes a lot of time and effort.

Another thing that's frustrating is that there's no easy way to add an opening or closing credit slide with your own text. This is something that most video editing software makes pretty simple, but with AVS4YOU it's a multi-step process that can be confusing and time-consuming.

Overall, I think that AVS4YOU has a lot of potential, but it's definitely not the most user-friendly software out there. If you're an average person trying to put together a simple video, you might find it difficult and cumbersome to use. However, if you're willing to put in the time and effort to learn how to use all of its features, it could be a really powerful tool for creating high-quality videos.

AVS4You AVS4YOU License Policy: A Disappointing Experience for Loyal Customers

I've been using AVS4YOU for a good number of years now and I must say, I'm quite impressed with their products. I even upgraded to an unlimited license a few years back, which I thought was a great investment. However, I recently built a new computer to replace my old one which was about 6 or 7 years old. I transferred all my software license keys, including Adobe, Microsoft, SnagIt, Nuance, and of course, AVS4YOU to my new machine.

To my surprise, I found out that my AVS license could not be deactivated and reactivated on the new machine. I contacted their customer support and they told me that the license was *permanentlybound to the original machine that it was installed on. I was quite disappointed to hear this, especially since I had been a loyal customer who had bought their top-of-the-line product license. It's quite frustrating to think that if your motherboard dies or if you upgrade to a new computer, you have to buy their unlimited license again every time you upgrade.

Honestly, this policy disgusts me and I feel like it's not fair to their customers. I mean, I understand that they need to protect their products from piracy, but this is just too much. As a result, I decided to share my experience here so that others can learn from my pain. I hope that AVS4YOU will reconsider their policy and come up with a better solution for their loyal customers.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: A Cost-Effective Multimedia Solution with Windows Explorer Integration

The AVS4YOU software suite is a great option for those looking for a cost-effective solution for their multimedia needs. The software suite offers a range of features that are easy to use and provide good quality results. One of the standout features of the software is its integration with Windows Explorer. This feature allows users to easily access AVS options by simply right-clicking on a file. For example, users can easily select "convert to..." and choose from a range of file formats.

However, there is a downside to the software that can be frustrating for users. When purchasing an unlimited subscription, it is important to note that it is actually limited to one specific computer. This means that if your computer dies or you want to install the software on a new device, you will not be able to do so without purchasing the software again. Unlike other software companies that offer the option to clear the license so that it can be installed on a new computer, AVS4YOU does not provide this option. While they do offer a $20 discount for repurchasing the software, it can still be a frustrating experience for users.

Overall, the AVS4YOU software suite is a good option for those looking for a cost-effective multimedia solution. Its integration with Windows Explorer and range of features make it a great choice for those looking to edit and convert multimedia files. However, users should be aware of the limitations of the unlimited subscription and be prepared to repurchase the software if they need to install it on a new device.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Disappointing Customer Service and Attempt to Change License Rules

I have been a loyal customer of AVS4YOU for several years now. I purchased a Perpetual License from them, which means that it NEVER expires. This was a great deal for me because I didn't have to worry about renewing my license every year.

However, recently I had to replace my PC and I requested a new license from AVS4YOU for my new computer. To my surprise, they accused me of violating my license by adding it to another computer. I tried to explain to them that this was just a replacement and not an additional computer, but they didn't seem to understand.

Their customer support is very bad. They don't answer your questions and just send the same boilerplate answers over and over again. It's frustrating because I feel like they're not listening to me.

I also noticed that they no longer offer Perpetual Licenses, which makes me wonder if they're trying to get rid of their old customers who have these licenses. It's not fair to change the rules of a license that was purchased under different terms.

Overall, I'm disappointed with AVS4YOU's customer service and their attempt to change the rules of my Perpetual License. I would not recommend this software to anyone. There are better options out there with better customer support.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Lifetime License Not Honored, Unresponsive Customer Service

I bought an "Unlimited License" from AVS4YOU about 9 years ago and it has been a great program for me. I have used it on my last three computers and it has worked perfectly. However, I recently got a new computer and I am no longer able to use the program without purchasing a new license. This is very disappointing as I was under the impression that I had a "lifetime" license and could use the program for as long as I wanted.

I spent a lot of money on this program and I feel like I have been let down by AVS4YOU. They should be ashamed of themselves for not standing behind their customers and honoring their commitment to them. It seems like they have become greedy and are only interested in making more money.

I have tried to resolve this issue with AVS4YOU, but they have been unresponsive and unhelpful. I have decided to switch to another program for my needs. There are many free programs available that are just as good, if not better, than AVS4YOU. For example, I have heard good things about "Handbrake".

Overall, I would not recommend AVS4YOU to anyone. They have a bad reputation and do not seem to care about their customers. If you are looking for a good program, there are many other options available that are more trustworthy and reliable.

AVS4You AVS4YOU Review: Good Idea, Poor Execution, and Potentially Fraudulent Practices

AVS4YOU is a great software that combines different aspects of editing and converting in one package. It's a good idea to have everything in one place, but unfortunately, the software is very buggy. When you need support, it takes days and weeks to get a response. And when you finally get a response, they ask you silly things like rebooting your PC or reinstalling the software. It's frustrating when you need help, and they don't seem to know what they're doing.

The price is good, but the product is just okay. I would give it 2.5 stars because the support is at times rude and condescending. They don't seem to care about their customers, and that's a shame.

Update: I recently discovered that this company should be investigated for fraud. They claim that their product is unlimited, but that's not true. When you get a new PC, they charge you again for the same product. And their updates make the OS and software obsolete, so you have to keep buying new versions. I had the same HD, video, and sound card, but only a new motherboard, and they charged me another $60 to use a six-month-old product. It's ridiculous.

I had the product for six months, and my motherboard died. They didn't care and didn't offer any help. They set you up to eventually not be able to use their software on your machine by making updates that create incompatibility. It's a scam, and I wouldn't recommend this software to anyone.

AVS4You They never helped me!

I used AVS4YOU and was really satisfied with everything, really loved this site and even had a "Unlimited License".
But then I bought a new computer and was not able to use this program! I tried many different things but no matter how hard I've tried nothing happened. So I contacted AVS4YOU customer service, explained the situation and asked for help. They said that there was nothing they could do and said that the only way to fix this is to buy another license!
I already paid for one so why on Earth I need to waste more money on something that I already have! Totally ridiculous! They never helped me!

people, have you ever tried contacting AVS4YOU support team i wonder. whichever time i did, i got response in reasonable time. after surfing the net and reading the reviews was scared that won't see my money again (*as accidentally placed the order twice*), but was provided with the refund for the sec purchase without no problems and questions asked. btw, had some error message once (not able to remember which one though, lol). but they managed to figure that out and led me through all the steps to bring my converter back to life (^-^)

I purchased an unlimited license for avs4you software. After having my motherboard and hard drive replaced in my computer the software was no longer activated. Attempting to use my old license key resulted in an "already been activated error". I contacted support and they reluctantly gave me a new code after a few messages. A year later, the software has deactivated again. It turns out the license key they reluctantly gave out was for a 1 year subscription. I have begun the battle again to get a new license key. Their TOS says unlimited lifetime subscription as long as I own this computer.

avs4you has a problem honoring there unlimited license key. Buyer beware.

Let me assure everyone as a long time user of this excellent software that the statements by the AVS team are 110% correct. DO NOT use any site but theirs to download and update, and you will be fine. Complaints sometimes arise for other reasons, i.e. firewalls, open ports, insecure networks, false ip addressess, and a myriad of other things. Reputation of AVS is superior in my opinion.

AVS4You Software quit working and company will not respond

I purchased a full AVS4You software license in 2009 and I was pleased with their programs but approximately two months ago most of my AVS4YOU programs quit working and I get messages that imply I am not licensed such as "Class Not Registered". This software has been used on the same computer since I bought the license. The company advertises that they will respond to email inquires within 48 hours. This has not happened and there is no other way to contact them but email. They provide a forum for discussing issues online but when I tried to register every user name I selected was rejected. Bottom line is I paid AVS4YOU for a non-expiring license to use their software and they are not honoring their end of the agreement. I am being ripped off by AVS4YOU.

Scam on lifetime license - DO NOT SUPPORT SUCH COMPANIES

Like many others I had a lifetime license and the company changed their policy since my purchase to state that the license is only valid on the very original computer you install the software on.

Their "Free" is a ploy to force you to the commercial offering. Obscure web sites hosting "reviews" of how great the software is should be a sign of a problem.

They say it's in the mail but I never receive it and my anti spam folder is not blocking it. I purchase it with Papal. I think I will try to see if Paypal can help me.
Wish me luck!

AVS4You Does not work and they will not respond to me!

I saw an add on for my Windows Movie Maker, over 300 effects and Transitions for only 15 US Dollars. Then I downloaded it, then It wanted 39 US Dollars, I paid with a VISA. When I was done I registered with their code, but it would not work! So I downloaded all the other items too!
A total of 24 different things like:
* AVS Video Converter
* AVS Video Editor
* AVS Video ReMaker
* AVS DVD Authoring
* AVS DVD Copy
* AVS Video Recorder
* AVS Media Player
* AVS Video to Flash
* AVS Video to GO
* AVS Video to iPod
* AVS Video to PSP
* AVS YouTube Uploader
Now for the sound part!
* AVS Audio Converter
* AVS Audio Editor
* AVS Ringtone Maker
* AVS Audio Recorder
* AVS Music Mix
* AVS Disc Creator
Wait, there is more! You'll need their worthless online Help to Download too! I even did that! Still will not work! No on has answered my many Emails I sent them either!
Also: All of my Music files and Video Files have been Hijacked, into their own stupid system, so I can not use them, in any way! Now if I delete all this (which I really want to do) I will loose my chance for any refund according to their rules! No bad Videos on You Tube at all on them... if fact there are many videos that say how great they are!
I commented on one, but my comment just disappeared? Only good comments are kept! I believe I was scammed? And this is the only place I see, where I can tell my story. I can not mix videos for You Tube right now... Everything is ruined! So, I will wait a bit longer.
(It has been three days with No Reply) How could I have fallen into their TRAP? I am a Victim of their Evil little operation!
Do Not Use this Product! It dosen't work!
If they help me I will be sure to return here and retell my story. But now now, I could almost cry! Dale

Right! Just wait until you have to move it to a new machine. I've been down this road with your company before. Fortunately I saved my registration number: 2b442d53-04bf-4022-af02-4e2774090831, but your company makes it a pain to do business with them. Right now my software (that was working) says it's "out of support" when I last tried to use it. Needless to say, I've moved on. I've cost you more money in sales than you can imagine and I'm not going to stop. To the rest of you, AVS was not a well integrated package anyway. A program for this and a program for that. You can use freeware to do the same things. Also try the Linux world. You'll be suprised at the eaze of installation (you don't have to be a geek) and the OpenSource Foundation tries very hard to keep it all free of charge.

I made the same mistake. I didn't do my home work attracted by the false advertising of these people of AVS4you I purchased a $59.99 subscription They use an agent named AVANGATE that claims to be acting as seller's agents to collect the money from victims as us. In my opinion, I think they are accomplices to a big internet fraud by participating in transactions, where they know there so many complaints about it. No money are refunded and we can do nothing with the credit card company or bank. This is my warning: Check the internet and all complaints posted before buying from anybody. Do not risk a hart attak.

Thank god I diverted the download to my external hard drive. I had a sinking feeling this thing was a scam from the start and when the downloading got to the point where it should have been finished if it were free then came the part came up about $39.99 I knew it was the crock of [censored] I was suspecting it was and backed out.

When I tried to delete what did download a message came up telling me I did not have permission to do so. This I always thought was illegal. It's like back in the old days when the internet was young and when you would go to a site it would literally hold you hostage until you actually shut down you computer manually.

I had to cut and paste it in the recycle bin. I have ran three virus scan checks so far so good but I say RUN AWAY as fast as you can from these crooks. As the saying goes if it is too good to be true, it is.

These people are crooks who need to be stopped.
