Comments

"I recently purchased Bigasoft iTunes Video Converter to convert AVI files to suit Apple TV. I was initially told I had to "jailbreak" the Apple TV then install other software using the DOS screen on my Windows PC. I am no computer wizz and have no experience with DOS, so I looked for another solution.

I have spent money on and tried several other products on the market but have had the best results with your program.

I am so happy with your product, I wanted to say thank you. The program is easy to use and converts files quickly and easily. Congratulations on a great product."
