Key features
Convert MOV to MP4 or MPEG-4 AVC
The decoding and encoding engine converts QuickTime files to MP4 and MPEG-4 AVC video.
Faster conversion on multi-core processors
The program supports multi-core CPUs, which speeds up conversion.
Batch-convert many files at once
You can queue several MOV files and convert them all to MP4 in one run.
Turn pictures into MP4 video
JPG, PNG, GIF and BMP images can be converted to MP4 and MPEG-4 AVC video.
Split, clip and tune the output
You can split a large MOV by time or file size, and convert just a clip with your own start time and duration. You can also adjust bit rate, frame rate, resolution, codec and quality. A Bitrate Calculator works out the video bit rate you need for a target file size.
Several outputs from one source, plus snapshots
The Add Profile function lets you output more than one file from the same MOV. While previewing, you can save the current frame as JPG, PNG, GIF or BMP.
Work in the background
Conversions run in the background, so you can use other programs meanwhile. After-done actions let you walk away until the job finishes.
Who it's for
It suits you if you have QuickTime MOV or QT files and need MP4 or H.264 versions for MP4 players. It also suits you if you want a simple tool with batch conversion, splitting and clipping.
