You have the full control over video and audio compressions. One can adjust video codec, video quality, video size, frame rate, audio codec, sample rate, channel, and bit rate.
The codecs get loaded as needed. Supported video codecs include Cinepak, DivX, DV, Indeo 3, 4, and 5, Motion JPEG, Microsoft Video 1, Xvid, and more. Audio- video sync problems could be repaired up by cleaning up the time code in these tracks. Conversion between NTSC and PAL also is possible. File parsers are available that help expand the formats supported. Direct X 8 and Windows Media Format 9 can be downloaded through links provided.
The interaction area is simple and straightforward and is built for batch processing to start with. One simply lists the files to be converted, output format, video and audio setting are done directly from this interface. Once the output directory is also specified, it is all set for conversion to begin.
Cons: Some codec integration some in video and a few in audio compression is still to be completely integrated.
Overall: Well designed, simple to use and with extensive format support this application is rated at 4 stars.
