Video Converters date back to as long as I can remember, though their need has been greatly diminished lately due to most modern media players having the capability to play a truckload of formats, and a shift to handheld devices by many of us, most of which natively support a wide range of file formats. Still, there are times when you do need to convert a video for better comparability or compression. In the past, we have covered countless video converters including Freemore, Ace, EasyBrake and Video to Video, just to name a few. WinX HD Video Converter Deluxe is a premium video converter for Windows boasting support for a plethora of formats, and the application has recently gone free for a limited time as an Easter gift, from its regular price of $49.95. Let's take a look at its features in detail after the jump. Read More

There are countless Audio and video conversion tools out there but with all the available options, it may get fairly tough to look for the right one at the right time. Even if you find the one that meets your requirements, odds are that it would be either be paid or in case of being free, have either way too many configuration options making it confusing to use, or offer too little control at what it does. Freemore Audio Video Suite takes care of this nuisance by amalgamating a number of different multimedia tools into a single freemium package that's easy enough to use for the average user while decently powerful enough for power users. It’s a compendium of various frequently used audio, video and document converters and editors that you would otherwise have to download separately when required. The suite includes audio editor, sound recorder, ringtone maker, MP3 cutter and joiner, audio and video converter, DVD burner, image and PDF converter, and the list doesn't stop here. It’s rare that you find such a huge collection of distinct apps in free software but Freemore not only delivers it; it delivers it exceptionally well.

Ace Video Converter Supports Over A Hundred Input & Output Formats

The need for video converters has declined slightly due to the fact that most multimedia devices now support a huge number of media formats out of the box. Nevertheless, devices like the iPhone (and several others) don’t stray from their heritage and rely on limited formats when it comes to playing media files. Two video converters you can always take for a spin are Handbrake and Format Factory, with a wide array of format support that keep their reputation intact. However, should you still not be convinced and want to give another one a shot with a more straight-forward approach, Ace Video Converter might come in handy. We won’t say it’s the best video converter out there, but for what it does, it shouldn't be underestimated. It supports a massive number of input and output formats (over a hundred according to the developer), and does a wonderful job in converting videos in batch. In addition, it allows downloading YouTube videos, so you can save them for offline viewing. Let’s dive into it and find out if it’s worth a try. Read More

Format Converter X Brings Simple Media Conversion To Windows 8 And RT

Modern UI is what gives Windows 8 its legs. The latest OS looks and feels closer to its mobile counterpart, thanks to its touchscreen-friendly interface. We have covered plentiful Windows Store apps, catering for almost every category, but one particular kind of application that we were yet to come across was a media converter, until we came across Format Converter X. Generally, people who spend a lot of time converting audio video files would rather look for powerful solutions, like Format Factory or HandBrake. Nonetheless, for Windows 8 RT users or traditionalists, Format Converter X can lend a helping hand. The app’s design remains closer to Windows 8’s Metro-style formula. It doesn’t really give much of a choice in terms of output format selection, but it does accept quite a few files types as input, such as MOV, MPEG, WAV, M4V, MP4, AAC, WMV, PCM and WMA. The output selection stays limited to MP4, MP3, WMV, WMA and AAC. Read More

I’ve been using media converters for as long as my first foray into the world of computers. They were specifically more useful back in those days when smartphones were not smart enough to play every kind of video format and you needed to convert your favorite movies for watching them during long trips. Even though most of the multimedia devices are now quite capable of playing all major video formats, the need for video converters hasn't seem to have plummeted. If you've used a lot of video converters, then Handbrake might need no introduction. It’s one of the most powerful open source video transcoders used by videophiles to perform a number of media conversions. There are a lot of applications that use the Handbrake engine and give you control over additional functions and settings. EasyBrake is one such app. The major advantage of EasyBrake over other similar converters is ease of use and a simple interface. It supports various input formats, but only allows converting them to either MKV or MP4. Read More

A lot of people waste time looking for media converters that are free, and support an umpteen number of file formats, but still remain uncertain as to which one they should choose. Although we have covered a number of media converters including  Oxelon, Convertidor De Videos and HandBrake-based HB Batch Encoder Mk2 and HandBrake Batch Encoder, we always try to find more media converters that can perform quick audio and video conversions. Video To Video Converter is one such tool that crossed my way and seemed absolutely worth using. What makes it stand out is the large number of output formats it supports; over 700 according to the developer. It can convert both audio and video files, including AVI, MPEG4, XVID, MPEG2, MOV, MKV, FLV, SWF, 3GP, GIFF, DIV, MP3, AAC, AC3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, 3GPP and more. Along with a media conversion, the software can perform video split and join operations as well as burn videos to optical discs. Read More

Mobile phones - or rather smartphones - of today are capable of doing much more than just call or text a person. If you are a smartphone user yourself, you would agree with the iTunes App Store tagline, “There’s an app for that”. Being an Android user, I can vouch for the huge number of apps available also on the Android platform that allow us to extract much more out of our phones than previously possible. Using your smartphone, you can browse the internet, create and manage shopping lists, have video conversations, share articles, manage your finances, listen to music, play games and perform a lot of other activities that used to require a whole bag of tools and gadgets. Since the screen size of smartphones seem to be increasing with every new phone coming out in the market (iPhone excluded), a lot of people use it for watching videos, which can either be locally saved or streamed from the internet, and are a great way to fight boredom when you have nothing else to do. However, due to each phone having its own specifications for screen size, a different resolution is needed to have the best video-watching experience on your smartphone. Today, we have an application called Click2Mobile that lets you easily convert video files to the proper format and resolution required by your phone using presets.

These days, there are a huge number of devices that are capable of playing videos. From smartphones to tablets devices, iPods and other handheld media players, almost every gadget is capable of video playback. However, since most of these have their own codec and format support criteria, what you can do is use a converter to get the media in the right format for playback. Previously, we covered Free Media Converter, a complete media management and manipulation utility that allows you convert video and audio files, rip DVDs, download videos, edit videos and record videos from your desktop or webcam. Then, there's the famous HandBrake, a tool that uses the HandBrakeCLI.exe file to batch convert media files, and Oxelon Media Converter, a portable media converter that provides you with explorer integration for quick conversions. Today, we have another video converter called ChrisPC Free Video Converter that enables you to convert videos for portable devices, such as your iPhone, iPad, Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, and a lot of other formats.
