With few exceptions, the bane of almost all freeware is inadequate documentation. In this case it is all in German.
That said, I have read many user reviews on XMedia Recode and it is adjudged as one of the best freeware converters and a must for any video conversion enthusiasts.
Lack of documentation for proper understanding of its usage may be the cause of your frustration. It is hard to believe that it could delete existing files unless they are overwritten. When you do repeat conversions of the same file there is a setting that you can check not to overwrite.And it looks like there is no other prolific user/s of XMedia Recode here.
I believe that paid software always have the advantage of a proper documentation and support and always better. If you do not find any other freeware with which you may be happy, then the only option is to go for OGG Video Converter.
