Pure fake i have tried all but nothing happened
Good to know these video converting tools and thanks for the sharing. I’d also recommend Acethinker Video Converter which I have used for many years. It is a free cloud based software to convert videos without installing anything in your device. You may add it to the list as well.
There is no such thing like full free versions, they all do little no matter what they claim – just try to install them! AVC would only convert to from AVI to MP3 and tries to install all kind of crap. Haven’t tried other options but everything else on a web acts the same way. The best way to get a functional tool is to buy it. You can get a 50% discount if you uninstall free version so they try to sell you something.
No information on whether the converter leaves a watermark on the video, or tries to install adware/search diverter software on your pc (freemake does this as ive just found out). This is the type of information thats most important, useless list.
Googling and making a list is damn easy, what is the point in throwing such trash on us, you better check each software by installing on your machine , test it and then post a list.
For example Freemake isn’t free , the free version as claimed add splash frame in the sequence and also tries to install crap ware on your machine, did you checked this aspect before poutting that name in the list .
Do your home work first and then publish something,
Recommend AVC 3.5.3 – works very well. From v 3.6 (v 4.0) onwards, just endless piles of crapware. Version 6.8.9 planted 1048+142 threats on my PC (Malwarebytes) and installed about 10 apps, none of which were AVC/ Avoid at all costs.

Lying corksuckers. VideoSolo isn’t free you peckerheads.

Few time ago I used Any, but now I understand that I need more options for editing. An I tried Movavi Video converter, so all is much more easier now!
