Sonne Video Converter11.3.1.30

Sonne Video Converter is an application that you can use to encode video clips to other formats, such as AVI, MP4, WMV and MPG.But it can also extract the audio stream and save it to MP3, WAV and WMA, among others, as well as prepare items for devices like PSP, iPod, iPad, DVDs and HD Video.The interface of the program is clean and pretty intuitive. Video clips can be imported into the file list by using only the file browser, since the "drag and drop" method is not supported.In the queue you can check out the source path and status of each item. By choosing the default settings, you can directly proceed with the conversion procedure by establishing the output directory and file type.Advanced users can tinker with the audio and video preferences in regard to the codec, bit rate, size, frame rate, aspect ratio, channel mode, sample rate, volume, cropping and padding. Options can be saved to a new profile but cannot be restored to their initial values.Furthermore, you can preview clips in a built-in media player and capture frames, trim them by time and specify the thread priority, as well as set Sonne Video Converter to turn off the computer automatically or to open the output directory after encoding.The video encoding tool requires a moderate-to-high amount of system resource to finish a task in reasonable time. It is very responsive, contains a help file and outputs a fair image and sound quality. No errors have occurred during our testing and Sonne Video Converter did not freeze or crash. On the other hand, you cannot merge videos, make image adjustments (e.g. brightness, contrast) or apply filters (e.g. grayscale, old film).
