ThinkVD Zune Movie Converter2.3.1.0322

ThinkVD Zune Movie Converter is an application with a pretty self-explanatory name - it allows you to encode media files (e.g. 3GP, VOB, FLV, MOV, FLAC, MP3, GIF) to formats supported by Zune devices, both video (e.g. MOV, AAC) and audio (e.g. MP3 and WMA). It can be used by both rookies and experienced individuals.The interface of the program is clean and pretty intuitive. Media files can be imported into the list by using only the file browser or tree view because "drag and drop" functionality is not included in the program. It is possible to work with multiple files at once.In the file queue you can check out the name, duration, target type, output size and status of each media file. Once you establish the output destination and extension, you can start the encoding job with the default settings.But you can also change audio and video preferences when it comes to the size, bit rate, frame rate, aspect ratio, sampling rate, channel mode, volume and others. Optionally, you can remove the audio stream.On top of that, you can preview clips in a small, built-in media player and capture frames, as well as merge and crop videos. Plus, you can trim clips by marking the start and end position, add watermarks (text or image), enable a subtitle plugin, make image adjustments (e.g. brightness, saturation) and apply filters (e.g. grayscale, negative).In the “Settings” area, you can customize the CPU power allotted for the job, select the temporary directory, snapshot directory and default snapshot format (PNG, JPG or BMP), as well as set ThinkVD Zune Movie Converter to automatically check for updates online.The media conversion software runs on a moderate amount of system resources, supports multiple languages for the interface and quickly finishes a task. It didn't freeze, crash or prompt error dialogs during our tests. In one of our cases, it didn't manage to convert the video stream from FLV to MOV.
