FFConverter0.1.1

Multimedia files come under different formats, depending on the encoder used to bundle quality inside the output. FFmpeg is a popular encoder, and if you want to use it in a more comfortable environment, then FFConverter provides the flexibility, and ease of access you need to convert different kind of multimedia files.

Intuitive visual design

As mentioned above, the application completely relies on the FFmpeg encoder. Luckily, it’s bundled in the installer, deploying it along with the application, so you don’t need to go through the effort of grabbing it, and setting it up yourself.The main window is pretty minimalistic, with several tabs to show input information, video, audio, presets, and general options. Although dropping target files over the main window is not supported, using the browse dialog to specify input, and output folders is easy enough. The input field also allows you to generate audio preview, while output can display current audio and video specifications.

File support, and quality settings

File support isn’t abundant, but allows you to work with some popular multimedia formats like AVI, MP4, M4V, MKV, DAT, MPG, MPEG, FLV, M2TS, and VOB. On the other hand, output types are more varied, with different preset styles for multiple mobile devices, or game platforms, but there are also thorough settings you can configure yourself.Video and audio settings are accessed from dedicated tabs. Video settings refer to container, which is the output format, as well as video codec, which are selected from separate drop-down menus. Resolution is configured from a slider, with additional value fields for bitrate, framerate, delay, deinterlace, custom crop for edges, or the option to disable the video layer.Audio codec is picked in a similar manner, from the dedicated tab. Other options include frequency, audio bitrate, audio channels, audio delay. Additionally, you can load external audio layer to be bundled along with the current project.
