I received an email offer about a sale on this and can't find a direct link other than the one going to shopping cart. So I pasted the info here so you can see what I am talking about.

Basically I am looking for a converter that can assist me with converting various video formats I will encounter into something I can use with CS6.

So, in addition to the consumer formats people may hand off to me I am also thinking about h.265, and XAVC S, ProRes and others. Again, I am using CS6 and plan to for some time.
Do you think this is a good program?

CS6 includes Adobe Media Encoder. Does that not do what you want?

CS6 Media Encoder is good but it can't export anything if my system can't first recognize the formats and allow me to work with the footage so I have something for Media Encoder to export.
For instance...if I had some XAVC or AVC Long G footage that I needed to edit. I couldn't import it into CS6 Media Encoder and transcode it to something else. Nor could I import it into Premiere or After Effects to work with it. I'd first have to transcode the footage to something that my system would recognize and that is where this Video Converter *might* be very useful. Or maybe it's not a good option.

For XAVC you need to install the proper codec from Sony. AVCHD should be recognized by AME.
