The last item on our giveaway list is Media Converter Ultimate from Daniusoft. Media Converter Ultimate is a comprehensive media converter for the Windows operating system that supports conversions of video files, DVD ripping and burning as well as DRM removals. The program supports a large variety of video formats (standard and high definition) that can either be used on a PC or on one of the many devices that are supported.
The interface of Media Converter Ultimate does not throw the user of with lots of switches and other confusing elements that can irritate inexperienced users. The essential options are displayed in the main menu. This includes adding videos or loading DVD contents.
Videos can be added individually or by selecting a folder which will add all videos that are stored in that folder.
Several interface elements become active after videos have been added to the list of files to convert. Each video will be listed with its source file name, duration and destination file name. A right-click opens a context menu with options to rename or remove the videos. Some actions are inactive but become available if subtitles or multiple audio tracks are supported by the selected video formats.
Each video can be previewed using the small media player on the right.
The settings in the footer area become available after videos have been added to the program. These settings are valid for all videos that are added to the queue which should not be a problem for most users. Some users on the other hand might like more flexibility here so that videos could be converted into different formats in one process.
The video format (and audio format if available) can be selected in this step. A click on the down arrow next to the audio and video file pulldown menu will open a large list of formats and devices the videos can be converted into.
Supported Formats
- DVD: DVD Folder, IFO Files, ISO File
- Standard Video: M4V, AVI, MP4, MPG, MPEG, 3GP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, RM, RMVB, DAT, MOV, FLV, MKV, DV, NUT, H.264, NSV, VOB, DVR-MS

- Audio: M4A, M4B, M4P, M4R, MP3, M4A, MP2, MPA, WMA, AAC, AC3, MKA, OGG, AIFF, RA, RAM, WAV, APE, FLAC, AA, AAX
That’s a comfortable way of displaying the available choices. Users do not have to worry about resolutions, bitrates and other advanced parameters at this point. If their device is in the list they can select it and are ready to convert the videos without having to worry about those advanced parameters.

Advanced users on the other hand can make use of the Settings button to change those parameters. This includes video and audio parameters like the frame rate, bit rate or video and audio encoder.
A click on the Start button will start the media conversion. Media Converter Ultimate uses multi-threading and all cores of multi-core cpus to speed up the conversions.
Converted videos can be moved to connected devices from within the program after all conversions have finished. That’s helpful for users who convert videos that they want to view on those devices.
It is furthermore possible to burn videos to disk. Media Converter Ultimate can created DVD templates and convert the selected videos into a format that is compatible with DVD video before they get burned to DVD.
DRM Removing
This feature was not tested due to a lack of files with DRM. It can, according to the developer, deal with several DRM formats that are used by iTunes, BBC iPlayer, Audible Audiobook and Windows Media.
Whether the “Fair Use” of iTunes’ .m4p music .m4v video .m4b audiobook, or the “Play for Sure” of Windows Media protected .wma .wmv files, or even BBC iPlayer WMV, Audible Audiobook AA, now DRM will be no longer the sham to deprive our fair usage rights, Media Converter Ultimate will disable DRM license easily.
