Key features
Turn a video into an audio file, such as MP4 to MP3
The program extracts the audio track from a video and saves it in the audio format you choose.
Convert one audio format to another
Audio files can be converted between the formats listed above, so you can match what your player supports.
Keep only the part you want
The splitter takes any clip from the source. You can set exact times or drag the slider bar.
Join several files into one
The joiner merges the files you select into a single file after conversion, so they play one after another.
Tune the output for your player
You can adjust codec, sample rate, channels and audio bitrate. You can save the settings as a custom profile for later.
Pick the audio track and subtitle, and convert to several formats at once
You can choose the audio track and subtitle for the output file. You can also convert one source into several audio formats in a single run.
Preview and grab snapshots
You can preview the original and the output side by side before converting. You can also capture pictures while previewing, and they save to the default folder automatically.
Who it's for
It suits you if you have a collection of video files and want audio-only copies for a phone or music player. It also suits you if you need to trim or merge clips on the way. The vendor says the conversion speed is above 300% and supports dual-core CPUs.
