Free Media Converter 3.05

In order to watch and enjoy our favorite videos and DVDs on a variety of devices, we need a versatile yet easy-to-use media conversion tool. Free Media Converter is not only flexible and versatile, but also suitable for all kinds of users and, best of all, totally free of cost. It supports all common media codecs and devices, allows you to rip DVDs, includes a video recorder and a video downloader, and batch-converts your videos allowing for individual output settings.

Free Media Converter’s interface follows the layout and the functionality of a wide range of other media conversion tools, preview window included. The conversion process follows a series of standard steps that include the selection of the output profile, the loading of the source file(s), the optional use of the app’s editing features, and the launch of the conversion process. However, unlike many of its competitors, Free Media Converter will let you include on the same conversion list videos that you had already stored on your computer, videos that you have grabbed from the Web using the app’s own downloader, movies coming from your DVD collection, and even video files that you can record on the spot using your webcam and the program’s built-in recorder. On the output side, this flexible app will let you assign a completely different output profile or format to each of the source files on the list, thus allowing you to convert different files for different devices in one single operation.

Before doing so, you can take advantage of the program’s media editing capabilities. They will allow you to trim your video files easily and with a high level of accuracy, crop them, flip them vertically, change their aspect ratio, adjust their color-related settings, and even change the volume of their soundtrack. Additionally, you can perform even deeper changes in the video and audio settings of each of the profiles selected, provided that you know what you’re doing, and save the resulting profile as a custom one for further use. Finally, the app’s merging capabilities will let you put together, in a single file, all videos on the conversion list or a selection of them.

Free Media Converter offers you all the functionality you would expect from a commercial media transcoding tool without the need of purchasing a license or a subscription. To top it all off, this app comes with extremely useful features (i.e., its multi-format output capabilities) that you won’t find in many of its commercial competitors.
