The only hard part is getting the right images to convert. To create a 3D image you have to have two quality images that differ slightly with a horizontal shift. Once you have good images to use, though, you can have a 3D image created quickly. To view the newly created image longer you have to open it from the newly created saved file and you have to have 3D glasses to see the 3D image

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Even though this video converter software is free, it is kept up-to-date. Free Studio contains 25 free video converting, editing and burning applications. DVDVideoSoft can run with Windows 7 and can work with HD video file types as well

at HQ MP4s. Free Studio comes in 10 languages and can support file types for a variety of devices

including iPhones, Blackberrys, iPods, PSPs and PCs. Easy to use The different elements of the bundle are still separate and can be downloaded separately

or collectively.

Cons:

Most programs are simplistic and are not bundled into one interface. You may get unwanted installation offers of other applications. Moving video from one section to the next may take a few extra steps since not all

applications are integrated.

Free video cutter joiner

The easiest video cutter joiner software can cut large video file and remove unwanted parts like commercials, outtakes and trailers. It allows you to extract portions from your video files and join several video files together for free. Both functions support most popular video formats like AVI, WMV, MPEG, MP4, FLV and others.

The main program windows intuitive and it is divided into two sections; one for cutter and the other for joiner. When you use the cutter function you just need to add a source video file, select the start and end points of the portion you want to extract, and start the process. You have special controls that help you set those points, though you can always adjust them manually, with millisecond precision.

When you use the joiner function, on the other hand, all you need to do is add all your source video files in the desired order and start the process. There is also a button to remove any wrong source file from your list with one click. Whether you are using the cutter function or the joiner function of the program, you can select between two processing modes – direct and indirect. As

its name suggests, the direct mode processes your video files directly, without applying any compression method. Thus, this is the fastest method. The indirect method, on the other hand, allows you to select the output video format, its quality, its resolution and its frame rate, as well as the output audio quality and the sampling rate. Of course, this method is slower, as it involves video compression.

Obviously, there are some considerations you need to take into account before selecting one processing method over the other. For example, you can only join video files in the same format when using the direct method. On the other hand, if you use the cutter function without specifying the start and end points and selecting the indirect method, you can use the program as a basic video converter as well.

All in all, Free Video Cutter Joiner is a simple yet powerful application that allows you to both to cut and join video files in an easy and fast way. If you are a beginner, I would recommend you to use the direct processing method; otherwise you can opt for the indirect method to take full advantage of the program capabilities.
