This tool is a video converter especially designed to convert Quick Time video files into AVI or MPEG formats.
The program's main window is almost totally uncolored and its visual design could be fairly better. It allows you to create your conversion list and set the necessary output parameters, all in the same interface. While this may be an advantage for expert users, the amount of parameters and controls available in the main window might be intimidating for novice users.
This tool allows you to access – in a separate window - a very comprehensive set of information for each of the video files on your list. The configuration area at the bottom of the main window is divided into three sections: video settings, audio settings, and advanced settings. Through them you can set the video codec, its frame rate, and its bit rate, as well as the audio codec, its sampling frequency, and its volume level. You can also set the video resolution, and even use the program to crop your source videos.
This tool includes a good set of predefined output quality profiles and common video resolutions for you to choose from. As for the MPEG output format, this tool allows you to get VCD-, SVCD-, and DVD-ready MPEG files for both PAL and NTSC standards, to name but a few of the most powerful features of this tool.
