There are many occasions where you need to convert a video from one format to another. For example, you want to convert a video to iPhone format so you can transfer to it and watch it on the move, or you want to convert the raw footage of your outdoor video shoot into a format that you can upload to Youtube. For whatever reasons, you will need a video converter to carry out this conversion task.
there are several converter software that you can use to convert videos. Some of them are powerful, but come with a hefty price tag, while some are free, but is rather limited in functionality. If you are looking for a video converter that is both free and powerful (or useful), here are 5 of them that you can consider.
Adapter
Macroplant’s Adapter is one of the newer video conversion applications to hit the market, and it’s simplicity and price (freeware) make it a good choice for consumer video users. Adapter converts to and from some of the more popular video formats (avi, mp4, mov, h264, flv) as well as some popular audio formats (wav, mp3). Easily convert your videos for ideal performance on iPod, iPhone, PSP and Blackberry using the application’s default settings for these devices.
Handbrake
Handbrake is one of the most popular DVD-ripping video transcoders. Built to rip both DVDs and Blu-Rays, Handbrake will convert this video into MPEG-4 or H.264 video files…which can then be used in your NLE (FCPX, Adobe Premiere). Due to it’s open source nature, the application is constantly being updated and improved. If you’re looking for a high-quality, customizable DVD ripper, give Handbrake a spin!
Media Converter
Media Converter is designed to be a batch video converter. It’s super simple interface makes it easy to convert your videos to and from some of the most popular formats (wmv, mov, avi). If you’re looking for a free video conversion software that will tackle some of the more standard conversions, this might be a good bet. However, it is not suited to tackle broadcast delivery standards and should be considered more or a consumer application.
VideoMonkey
Before VideoMonkey, I enjoyed using a simple (yet efficient) video encoder calledVideoHub. A few years back the makers of that application abandoned the project andVideoMonkey sprung from it’s demise. Using much of the same coding asVideoHub, VideoMonkey is a basic video encoder that excels in it’s simplicity and speed (for a free application the compression times are quite impressive). VideoMonkey’s totally free, so give it a try for your encoding needs.
Miro Video Converter
With all of the new mobile devices hitting the market it’s tough to keep track of what video format plays best on what. What are the best settings for an Android phone? For an iPad? Miro makes it easy with their built-in video conversion presets. The application has a whole slew of Android phones, Apple devices and other specialized formats (such as PSP). Simply drag your video into Miro and choose what device you’d like to optimize it for. It’s that simple. It may not have all of the customizable presets as some of the more expensive encoders, but it’s simplicity may be just what you need.
