Evaluation and conclusion

It carried out ripping and conversion jobs in a decent amount of time in our tests while using minimal system resources. It didn't freeze, crash or show errors.However, DP FastVideoConvert's set of options is designed for advanced users only, since they're not intuitive enough for less experienced ones. We must also take into account that it hasn't received updates for a long time.
