Review of Daum PotEncoder(video editing programme)

Description:
     Daum PotEncoder is a kind of video editing program served for free. It was developed by Daum Communications in Korea. You can use this progrmme  for converting almost audio and video file formats with using inbuilt codec. Thanks to this fuction, you are able to enjoy your favorite videos in any devices very comfortably. Also, you can use it for making your own videos by cutting and combining some video scenes and putting subtitles and logos.  The film you've made can be uploaded in your cafe or blog.

Pros:
     People may say this programme is available only for listening and speaking class. But in my opinion, it is also very useful for grammar class. Students easily feel bored in grammar class, and they can not concentrate well. Teachers can provide an interesting edited video file which includes the learned grammar, cutting only what you need in some videos and uniting them together like the collection of kissing scenes in the movie, Cinema Paradise. It will make students understand better how the grammar is used in real situations and pay attention to the class more. Another good point is that students by themselves can make their own videos as if they are actors or actresses as a group activity, and present them to the classmates, which gives the students self-confidence.

Cons:
     In fact, it is not easy to learn how to handle this programme successfully. So, you may need much time to make your video until you are accustomed to it. Besides, you may in trouble in the process because it can stop the work abruptly.(This is a weakpoint of all computer-based programmes)

Overall feeling:
     Despite some difficulties above, it has a strong point in the view of  making your creative videos.   Once you learn how to use it, you can use this programme in many ways, such as giving the chance of comparing English and Americn accents, translating experience to the students and recording your lessons and making a long video file.
