Video Conversion Made Easy
October 23rd, 2007 by Jake
I’ve dealt with a lot of video converters over the years, a lot of which were utter crap. But recently I stumbled upon a converter that did it all, for free. I’m actually impressed that other converters aren’t as simple as this one.
It’s called Any Video Converter. No, I’m not getting paid to write this, I just wanted to tell the world that I think this is a great program.
It’ll convert to/from MPEG, AVI, FLV, or MP4. There are even advanced options for customizing size, aspect ratio, bitrate, and start/endpoints. It even works with the custom codec and unusually high bitrate used by Fraps, so I can take a 1GB game video and compress it into a 15MB MPEG-2 video for YouTube with a few clicks. And while there’s a “nag screen” after converting is complete to buy the Pro Edition (the standard version is freeware), it’s a small price to pay for a solid, working video converter.
To all the other video converters out there: Take a page out of this program’s book.
