Reception

AVC was featured as Lifehacker's Download of the Day on November 30, 2006.[8]
Windows Vista Magazine had a tutorial on converting video files with the software for viewing on a PSP in its April 2007 issue.[9] The software was also reviewed in 2008 by MacLife for its capability to convert files for viewing on an iPod.[11]
The free version of AVC is ad-supported.[12] While it does not appear to contain malware,[13] the Windows installer does default to include potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) such as virus scanners and/or toolbars. However, you can avoid installing these PUPs by selecting the Customize Install option and not accepting installation of the optional, recommended software.[14]
