Watching movies, clips, TV series and educational videos brings diversity to the lives of millions of people on the planet. Increasingly, the viewer is the computer. The abundance of video formats introduces a certain amount of confusion - many of them are not supported by standard players. Then a video converter comes to the rescue.
Popular formats
The most popular video formats at the moment are avi, mp4, flv, mpeg and ogg. In fact, there are hundreds of "exotic" formats. Modern video players cannot support all formats. First, some have to be paid to use (for example, mp4 is a proprietary format). Secondly, formats appear faster than popular players and codecs can update. Thus, video conversion is an almost irreplaceable procedure.
Work speed
Conversion speed will not be a key factor for a single task, but it will become a determining factor when you regularly transfer gigabytes of video files from one format to another.
The Format Factory utility has an unassuming interface, but it is amazing in its functionality. It can quickly convert dozens of formats, has a simple video cropping function. Another advantage of Format Factory is the rare option to convert videos to animated.
Subtitle support
Watching foreign films that do not have a dubbed track is becoming more common. Films in English, German or French are not easy to watch in the original - with subtitles, viewing becomes much easier at times.
Subtitles can be divided into two groups - embedded and embedded. The first subtitles are "tightly" attached to the video track itself, while the second ones are in a special file - you can easily turn them off, change sizes, styles, etc.
One of the most powerful "subtitle" converters is Total Converter. The program allows you not only to create "embedded" subtitles and control the embedded ones. Subtitles are not only a media tool, but also a video styling tool. Total Converter allows you to make subtitle videos beautiful and memorable.
Specific tasks
There are video converters that contain the functionality of advanced video editors. Handbrake program allows users to work out the storyboard in detail, change the soundtrack. The program is free, suitable for Windows and Linux computers.
Lovers of online tools can turn their attention to FreeMake Video Converter. It also provides the option of camera-based video editing. In addition, with FreeMake Video, you can convert online videos to mp3 audio format.
