WinX Video Converter

If you need to load a video file in a certain program or play it on a mobile device, you may encounter a few difficulties, if the video's format is not supported. To avoid this issue, you should convert your videos to a popular format. Windows doesn't have anything to offer for this purpose, but you can find numerous third party applications, which are tailored specifically for converting videos. An excellent example is WinX Video Converter. It supports numerous video and audio formats and it is capable of batch converting your files quite fast.

Unlike many conversion utilities you would find out there, WinX Video Converter is free, but it comes in paid versions as well. It works on Windows 2000 and all later editions, up to Win 8 and it supports both 32 and 64-bit editions. Installing the software is not difficult and it takes about half a minute to complete the operations, even on modest machines.

WinX Video Converter comes with a modern and elegant user interface, with clear and easy to understand controls. Once you import one or more video files, the software will immediately display a wide range of conversion profiles. They are neatly organized in various categories and sub-categories, based on compatible devices, media players or social networks. Besides selecting a conversion profile, you can also choose a low, medium or high output quality.

The same conversion profile will be applied on all imported videos, but you can select different profiles, for individual files at any time and make a series of fine tweaks as well. Videos can be edited on a separate window. The software allows you to trim and crop your videos, add subtitles, change their volume and more. It is also possible to rename the imported files and make other basic changes, on the main interface.

A few final adjustments can be made before starting the conversion process. You can set the program to use one or more processor cores, to use a high quality engine, to perform the conversion in safe mode, to avoid certain issues or to merge the videos, once they are converted. The actual conversion process is quite fast, so you won't be kept waiting for too long.
