Prism is a multi-format video converter developed by NCH Software for Windows and Mac OS. It offers converting tools for instant media conversions.[1] Prism Video Converter can handle large and high-quality resolution media files.[2] It provides built-in compressor and adjuster settings, allowing users to customize and optimize their videos according to their needs. The software also includes features such as previewing videos and adding effects.[3] Prism offers a free version for non-commercial use as well as a premium version.[4]

Features

[edit]

Prism Video File Converter supports a wide range of file formats. It enables users to convert videos into formats like AVI, ASF, WMV, MP4, 3GP, etc.[1][5] It offers the ability to convert DVDs into various formats.[6] It provides tools for adjusting colour and filter options.[7][8]

Prism Video File Converter provides several customizable options for tweaking the output files during the conversion process. Users can adjust compression/encoder rates, set the resolution and frame rate, and specify the desired output file size.[2][4] The software also offers various effects like video rotation, captions, watermarks, and text overlay.[9][10]

It also includes a built-in preview feature, that enables users to view their videos before and after the conversion process.[10] It supports batch conversion and running conversion in background.[11][12]

Controversy

[edit]

Previously, Prism and certain other NCH Software products were bundled with optional browser plugins, including the Google Chrome toolbar and the Conduit toolbar.[13] This resulted in user complaints and raised concerns from antivirus software companies like Norton and McAfee, which flagged them as potential malware.[14] NCH Software has since removed all toolbars, browsers, and third-party app offerings in all Prism versions.[15]
