Oxelon Media Converter
Oxelon Media Converter is a must have "audio/video file converter software".
It meets all I've been looking for...
- neat,
- clean interface,
- integrated with the Windows Explorer context menu allowing me to convert media files directly in Explorer by right clicking on them.
It's not often I fall in love with an application at first sight but this is an exception.
Things I like...
- Oxelon Media Converter supports a wide range of audio and video formats allowing conversion from one to the other. Supported formats are:
- Video Formats: 3GP, ASF, AVI, DV, DVD MPEG2, FFM, FLV, GIF, MOV, MP4, MPEG1, MPEG2 PS, MPEG2 TS, NUT, PSP, RAW YUV, RM, SVCD MPEG2, SWF, VCD MPEG1, VOB, YUV4MPEG, M1V, M2V, M4V.
- Audio Formats: AC3, AAC, AIFF, AMR, AU, FLAC, MMF, MP2, MP3, OGG, VOC, WAV.
- Oxelon Media Converter integrates with Explorer context menu.
You can right-click on the selected files, choose...
- Oxelon - Convert to Video or
- Oxelon - Convert to Audio from the menu.
- Oxelon Media Converter has settings to adjust...
- video size,
- video bitrate,
- frames per second,
- audio channels,
- audio bitrate and
- sampling rates
- Oxelon Media Converter supports...
- "Direct Stream Copy" that lets end users convert media file format without re-encoding; allowing faster file conversion;
- drag and drop from Windows Explorer for conversion; I found this by accident.
Things I don’t like:
- Every time Oxelon Media Converter is closed it directs users to its homepage; very annoying but, to be fair, understandable.
