The program will add two new entries to the right-click menu in Windows Explorer if one or files are right-clicked. The first entry deals with audio conversions offering to convert the selected files into various audio formats while the second while convert videos into different formats.

Video Formats: 3GP, 3G2, ASF, AVI, DV, DVD MPEG2, FFM, FLV, GIF, MOV, MP4, MPEG1, MPEG2 PS, MPEG2 TS, NUT, PSP, RAW YUV, RM, SVCD MPEG2, SWF, VCD MPEG1, VOB, YUV4MPEG, M1V, M2V, M4V.
Audio Formats: AC3, AAC, AIFF, AMR, AU, FLAC, MMF, MP2, MP3, OGG, VOC, WAV.

It is even possible to select multiple different file types for the conversion. The selection will open the main program’s interface listing all the selected programs with information like name, size and playing time. The selected output format is configured as well which leaves the user with the task to select an output path and the possibility to make last minute changes to the output format.

The program will start the conversion of multiple files at once to speed up the process further. This can be changed in the program’s options. Speed and quality depends largely on the source and destination file format but also the performance of the computer system. Oxelon Media Converter is available for most Microsoft Windows operating systems including the three most recent systems Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. It is necessary to download both the program files and a plugin pack which both need to be installed separately.

The media converter is a comfortable alternative to other popular media converters. We did not like the fact that it was not possible to save the download path in the software program. It was also rather annoying that the developer’s website was opened whenever the program was closed. This can be prevented with the right firewall rule for the application.

Options range from high quality H264, NTSC or PAL DVD format over XVID, PS3, Xbox 360 to mobile phone formats. Videos can be dragged and dropped into the application. The user picks the output directory and clicks on the Start Conversion button in the last two steps. This is an effective method of converting media files on the computer system.

The expert mode provides access to additional features and settings which make it possible to optimize the output further. The video format, codec, aspect ration, bitrate and dozens of additional parameters have to be set by the user manually before the conversion can be started.

One of the main advantages of Quick Media Converter is the support of many different video formats without the need to install additional codecs to the computer system. The software program is very responsive and provides the right interface for both beginners and experienced users.

One of the best, or at least one with lots of options to choose from, is Media Converter. The music and video converter supports a wide range of file types like flv, avi, mp3 or pdf that can be uploaded and converted online. That’s only part of their service though. Instead of uploading files to Media Converter to convert them online it is possible to point the service to a supported website and convert the media files found on that site directly.

This has the advantage that the source file does not have to be downloaded or uploaded. Only the final product has to be downloaded to the local computer. The media can be converted in the process. Pointing Media Converter to a Youtube video makes it possible to convert the video to mp3, ogg or one of the supported video formats before downloading the converted product.

Another interesting feature of Media Converter is the ability to convert video or music from protocols like rstp, mms or http. All those services are free of charge. Premium users get access to a handful of additional video portals, a larger file size limit, unlimited conversions per day, a higher priority and quality of recording.
