Free Audio Video Studio 8.2

Free Audio Video Studio is a comprehensive suite of handy utilities that enables you to perform a large variety of tasks, actions and operations with videos, images, audio files, and even documents. With the help of the included applications one can easily convert or edit video and audio files, create and rip CDs, DVDs, or even disc images, create slideshows and animations, convert PDFs and texts, and so on.

Free Audio Video Studio includes standalone tools, each with its own sets of options and features. It categorizes them by their main purpose, listing 4 main groups: video, audio, photo, and “misc”. The video category includes a couple of video converters that support the most popular formats and devices (3GP, FLV, MP4, WebM, AVI, iPhone, iPad, etc.), a video joiner, and some DVD ripping tools. The audio section contains a handy sound recorder, a couple of format converters (supporting MP3, M4A, WMA and FLAC), an editor, a ringtone maker, a file cutter, an MP3 joiner, and a neat CD/DVD burner. The photo category consists only of two tools: a video to GIF converter and a slideshow maker. Last but not least, the “miscellaneous” group includes a couple of programs that can download and convert videos from well-known online sources, some apps that deal with ISO disc images, an OCR tool and some PDF management utilities (converters, splitters, and mergers).

As you can see, this package contains a large variety of tools, capable of covering a lot of needs. All of these tools are easy-to-use and simple even for complete beginners. Last but not least, being so comprehensive and useful, Free Audio Video Studio is a free suite, as well as all contained apps. Its only disadvantage is the fact that the installer comes plagued with a lot of offers to install unneeded additional software or to change your browser’s default settings. Anyway, if you manage to pay enough attention to the installation, you will eventually obtain a great package of apps for free and with no downsides involved.
