The amount of different video formats available make it sometimes necessary to convert them from one format into the other. This is for instance relevant if a video is only available in a format that another device is not able to play back, say a downloaded video from Youtube that the user wants to view on DVD or a large video that needs to be compressed into a space efficient format to be able to view it on a mobile player like the iPhone or a mobile phone.
Good video converters should support the most common video formats, create high quality outputs and offer an interface that is suited for inexperienced and advanced users alike. DVDFast Video Converter PRO is such a program.
The program supports a dozens of popular HD and SD video formats:
- Input Video formats:HD Video: HD AVI, HD H.264 / AVC, AVCHD (.MTS, .M2TS), HD Quick Time, HD MPEG-2 TS, HD MP4, HD WMV; SD Video: AVI, ASF, AVC, DIVX, FLV, H264, MP4, MOV, MPEG1/2, RM, RMVB, VOB, WMV, XVID, 3GP, 3G2
- Output: AVI, WMV, FLV, MP4, MPEG, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, PDA, 3GP, Zune, Music, XviD, DivX, JPG, BMP
But support is only one aspect as it should also be easy to create quality outputs without lots of background knowledge in video terminology.
DVDFast Video Converter PRO can convert one or multiple input formats into output formats with just a few clicks. All the user needs to do is to pick the videos that should be converted from the local hard drive. Those videos will then be listed with information and a preview option in the interface.
The videos will be converted to avi by default which can be changed to another support format or device. This ranges from formats like mp4, mpeg or flv to device specific formats for the iPod, iPhone, PSP, Apple TV or Zune.
Everything is in reach with just a click of the mouse. A click on the start button will start the video conversion into the selected format. The standard settings are usually all that is needed to create a quality output of the selected videos. It cannot really get much easier than this.
Experienced users on the other hand have the option to use some of the advanced controls to change audio and video settings to fine tune the output even further.
This ranges from changing the start and end time of the output video and the folder for the output to advanced video and audio settings. It is here for instance possible to change the bitrate and frame rate of the video, select a different format if available (e.g. divx or xvid for avi output files), the video resolution, aspect ratio or that the high quality engine should be used to convert the video.
All of these options are accessible from the very same menu. It is therefor very comfortable to tweak those settings if necessary.
Another option that is provided is the ability to rename files with the help of renaming templates. Those templates use variables like #name or #resolution that can be used to name the output files. This is another helpful option especially when converting multiple videos at once with DVDFast Video Converter PRO.
The conversion speed depends largely on the speed of the computer system but also on the input and output videos. It can generally be said that the conversion is speedy as the video converter makes use of multi-threaded encoding techniques.
DVDFast Video Converter PRO is a very convenient video converter for the Windows operating system.
