Strength:
It is said that Cucusoft earns a pretty good reputation in multi-media software field. One of the most popular programs is zune video converter suite--not only the economical price, but also the easy operation of its programs.

There are two programs contained in this suite: DVD to Zune Converter as well as Zune Video Converter. Converting DVD to Zune is finished in one step--which excels at converting with least effort (some converters would convert DVD to Zune by three steps). Cucusoft Zune video Converter supports many popular formats, such as vob, divx, mov, rm, wmv and so on; which is much more convenient for users to convert their favorite video files without worry.

Weakness:
There is a detailed Help file for DVD to Zune Converter, yet this Help file is not for Zune Video Converter.

Benefits
It's cool to own a Zune for relaxing--we can listen to music, watch DVD and store pictures. Zune is increasingly popular because its multi tasks are excellent. To watch DVD is not that easy as listening to music, for Zune could not support many DVD formats. For instance, it could support WMV, MP4 and H.264 video formats, yet there are more ones than them. If there is a blockbuster movie which is AVI format in your download folder, you could not use Zune to watch it immediately. So a converter should be at hand to solve such problems.

This suite could help you convert video or DVD files to match Zune, and you will have the coolest movies in your Zune, won't you? It is said that this suite supports almost every formats of DVD, except those who are not really DVD formats (i.e."tricky" DVD or PS2/3 games). Now, you could use these programs to "make magics"--transform the video formats then make them accepted by Zune in several clicks. You know, easy is the peculiarity of Cucusoft tools; so do not be afraid to try these powerful facilities.

This Zune Converter Suite does a really good job of conversion. Certainly, the quality of converting pictures depends on the capabilities of your own systems. While this suite would try it best to produces good quality videos even if a low configuration. As with most video to Zune converters, the lower the speed, the better the resulting output, and vice versa.
It has been tested that no unstable or unpredictable behavior has been observed under several Windows versions including antivirus applications.

Setup
The installation doesn't take much time to finish. The only thing you should take care is to select your own choices instead of all by it. The download size of it is about 7.9MB and the released one is about 18.9MB. If there is no enough space to store it in C disk, you could change the storage paths. It's a safe program since there are no malicious wares at all.

Should we decide to remove this suite, does it have a shortcut for uninstall? See, yes, there is a shortcut on the system tray so we could uninstall automatically. Though there are two programs in this suite, the uninstall shortcut could remove these programs at once--that is, we don't need remove a second time to delete the other tool. It's considerate and surprises me a lot.

Interface
The interface of DVD to Zune Converter is cool--black leaves me a mysterious impression. There are several guides for users on the left of it, which could soothe a beginner to some extent. The buttons are clear enough to make one know the function of them. So you could operate with ease.
