What is FreeStudio? Link to heading

Ever wanted to watch a film on your PS3 or iPad and found it's in an unsupported format? Want to download that YouTube video for offline viewing? How about managing your uploads to sites like YouTube & Facebook?

FreeStudio is an amazing conversion suite that offers an array of tools that allow you to:

  • Upload & download YouTube videos in many major formats (intuitive UI that allows download of many YouTube links at once)
  • Burning/Ripping tools for DVDs & CDs
  • Video conversion utilities (convert to iPod, PSP, Blackberry & more supported formats)
  • Basic video & photo editing

Installation Link to heading

With FreeStudio being freeware (thank you DVDVideoSoft!) it costs you nothing to download and install it... However this does not mean there aren't a few things to watch out for. DVDVideoSoft need to profit from such an awesome piece of software so they partner with other companies to package things like toolbars & other software within the FreeStudio installer. Don't let that put you off though, FreeStudio can be installed without all the other guff both quickly & easily.

  • First of all, go to the link mentioned above and hit the blue Download button
  • Launch the downloaded .exe file to begin the installation
  • On the first window click Next to move to the first stage of installation
  • Keep the default installation location unless you have some personal preference and then click Next
  • The next window will be titled "Install Additional Software", on here you want to select "Click here to customise the installation"  for each item that's displayed and remove the tick from the checkbox (unless you really want ByteFence & Chromium...?!?)
  • Once you've removed the additional software click Next
  • The software will now download & extract the latest version of FreeStudio for installation

The software is now installed and you should be able to use the conversion utilities to your heart's content!
