Key features
Convert WMV and ASF to MP4 or MPEG4/H.264
You can convert WMV/ASF files into MP4 or MPEG4/H.264 video for MP4 players.
Convert MP4 and H.264 back to WMV
The reverse direction works too, so MP4 and MPEG4/H.264 files can be played on Windows media players.
Pull M4A or WMA audio out of a video
You can extract M4A or WMA audio from WMV, MP4 and ASF videos, for example to keep the background music.
Control quality and file size
You can adjust video codec, video size, bit rate, frame rate, audio codec and channels. A built-in Bitrate Calculator works out the bit rate for a file size you enter.
Convert batches faster
The converter supports multithreading and batch processing, and it can use multi-core CPUs. You can also add several output formats to one source file and get all of them in one click.
Trim, split and build slideshows
You can pick a segment by start time and duration, or split a large file into smaller ones. JPG, PNG, BMP and GIF pictures can be merged into a slideshow-style MP4 or WMV video.
Preview, snapshots and after-done actions
You can preview the source and take a snapshot while it plays. The program can also run in the background and quit, shut down, hibernate or stand by when it finishes.
Who it's for
It suits you if your task is mainly WMV, ASF and MP4 conversion on a Windows PC and you want to set output quality yourself. It only handles those formats, so you'd need a different tool for AVI, MKV or similar.
