and oxelon media converter is also handy.
Oxelon Media Converter is FREEWARE
It is safe and clean.
Version 1.1

It works in two modes:
Automatic Mode - the program shows carefully filtered list of supported
parameters and codecs for each video/audio format. It is used by default.
Manual Mode - the program shows the list of all available parameters and
codecs for each video/audio format. You can enable this mode by choosing the
"Show all" option.
Fast conversion of many files on multi-core processor systems
Oxelon Media Converter is one of the few video/audio encoding tools that can
use four threads to take advantage of quad-core multi-processor systems. The
great news is that you can adjust maximal amount of threads in the Settings.
So, it is possible to take advantage of high-speed multi-conversion even on
an eight-core system (and more).
Windows Explorer integration
Seamless integration with Explorer allows you to keep working with files as
usual. You can right-click on the selected files, choose "Oxelon - Convert
to Video" or "Oxelon - Convert to Audio" from the menu, and select the media
format. In this way you can quickly launch Oxelon Media Converter with the
specified files and with the defined destination format. After that, you
just click "Conversion" and the process is started!
As you can see, Oxelon Media Converter allows to convert many video/audio
files with just 3 clicks.
Its that easy.
Video/audio file information, error descriptions and file launching
After you add files into the list, you can click on each row using the right
mouse button to see additional information about media files, such as
codecs, frame rate, resolution, audio bitrate, audio frequency etc. If the
conversion process fails with the "Error" status, then it is possible to get
full description of the error in the same way -- by clicking on the file
using the right mouse button.
There's another convenient functionality: you can start playback of any
media file straight from the list using associated external media player --
just double-click on any file using the left mouse button to launch media
player, which will automatically load and play audio/video file. If media
file is already converted (with the status "Completed"), then by
double-clicking on the same row you can launch the converted copy of the
file in the external player (it is useful for checking the quality of the
converted audio/video files).
It is easy to reduce the file size by adjusting bitrates or by changing
video width/height
Digital video and audio usually require large amount of hard drive space.
Depending on the bitrate, video frame resolution, the amount of required
space can vary greatly. Bitrate is a measure of the rate of information
content in a video or audio stream. It is quantified using the bit per
second (bit/s or bps) unit or kilobits per second (kbit/s). A higher bit
rate allows better video/audio quality, but requires more hard disk space.
Video: to reduce the size of video file you must reasonably decrease video
bitrate while keeping acceptable quality. For example, usual average bitrate
for AVI XviD video stream is 780 kbits/second. So, in order to decrease the
size of video file after conversion to XviD, you can specify lower video
bitrate (such as 390 kbit/sec). Another way to minimize the file size is to
change video frame resolution (Width and Height). You can not only choose
one of the predefined values from the list, but it's also possible to enter
width/height manually. Put the cursor into the edit box, and enter two
numbers:
Width and Height, separated by the "x" letter.
Remember: width/height must be a multiple of 4.
So, you can use Oxelon Media Converter to prepare your video files for
uploading to YouTube. For this purpose, convert files to AVI format (using
XviD for video, MP3 for audio, and set the Width/Height to "320x240").
If you want to quickly make available a small video file for watching in the
Internet Explorer directly from your website, then convert it to SWF
format -- choose minimal bitrates, adjust Width x Height to minimize the
size, and then upload the converted SWF file to your web server. Now, you
can give a link with the .swf file to your friends or post it on the
Internet forums. Another approach (more advanced) is to convert video file
to FLV format and to use some free flash-based media player with nice
controls to play the FLV file within your web pages.
It is possible to create animated avatar for the web forums, by converting a
short video file into GIF using minimal Width and Height.
Video file size can also be reduced by decreasing the frame rate: from 25
FPS (Frames Per Second) to 15, 10 etc.
Audio: to reduce the size of audio file you must decrease audio bitrate.
Audio bitrate defines how many bits of space the file takes per second of
audio. Obviously the higher the bit rate, the higher quality audio you'll
have. Sampling rate defines the number of samples per second taken from a
continuous signal to make a discrete signal. It can be measured in hertz
(Hz). Sampling rate usually does not affect file size in the compressed
format.
By decreasing audio bitrate you can prepare compact Internet audio podcasts
(available even for dialup users).
Also, sometimes it is a good idea to use Mono instead of Stereo in order to
reduce the size of audio file.
Direct Stream Copy
Sometimes, it is necessary to convert media file from one format to another
(or to the same format) without changing video or audio stream. If you
choose "Direct Stream Copy" from the drop-down list of Video Codec or Audio
Codec, then conversion will be very quick, because that involves no
re-encoding, just saving into a different format. "Direct Stream Copy" means
no encoding at all -- to use the video or audio, or both as is, without
conversion. In this way, audio codec can be changed inside the video file
without video recompression, or vice-versa -- video can be recompressed,
resized, and video codec changed, but audio stream and its quality can
remain exactly the same.
Possibility to extract audio streams from video files
Do you have a collection of videoclips with songs? Want to extract music
from these files and to preserve exact audio quality? With Oxelon Media
Converter it is possible not only to convert media files, but also to
extract audio streams from video files. Moreover, you can extract music from
AVI, MPG file with the exact quality by using the 'Direct Stream Copy':
1. Add video file. Right-click on the video file to get information about
audio stream format.
2. Select the same media format (for example, MP3, MP2, etc.).
3. Choose 'Direct Stream Copy' as Audio Codec. Click Conversion.
You can also recompress audio stream, and save it into another format.
Actually, you have a full freedom to choose any media format you want.
Drag and Drop support
You can drag several files from an Explorer window and drop them into the
main window of Oxelon Media Converter. When the program accepts files, it
starts building the list of video/audio files for conversion, and performs
two tasks:
(1) it reads information about size of files;
(2) it scans internal structure of each media file and determines whether it
is suitable for decoding. If the file is supported, then program shows
"Ready" in the Status column. If the file format can't be recognized, then
it shows "Unsupported" and such a file is ignored in the conversion queue.
Settings
The program has some configuration options:
Number of simultaneous conversion processes - you can specify how many files
can be converted simultaneously.
Always stay on top of all windows - you can disable it (thus, the main
window can stay in the background -- behind other windows), but if you
enable it, the main window will be always visible even if you switch to
another application (the only way to hide the window is to click on the
standard minimize button).
Do not open oxelon web page after exit - you can enable it (if you have
already got acquainted with our web site).
Disable context menu - in case you do not need the integration of Oxelon
Media Converter with the windows explorer menu, you can quickly disable it
here (sometimes you need to reboot the computer).
