Users Reviews

I have used Acrok software for six months now. I like its stability and its ease of use. Now its been upgraded to Ultimate conversion software to rip Blu-ray and DVD movies on Windows 10. What more can I say. A reliable company, great product! Thanks Acrok. I used to dread converting MXF, MTS and MKV into my computer but now with the Acrok Video Converter Ultimate, I no longer dread it. Very easy.
