If you're getting your movie and TV show library in order, it helps to
have all of your video in one format that you know every device you own
can play without issue. However, if your collection spans years of
downloads, rips, and saved copies, your files can be all over the place.
This week we're going to look at five of the best video conversion
tools that can faithfully get your media library organized and ready to
watch anytime, anywhere.
Earlier in the week we asked you which video converters are the best.
You weighed in with more options than we could possibly highlight, but
after tallying them all up, there were five that stood out above the
others. Here's what you said, in no particular order:
MPEG Streamclip (Windows/OS X)
MPEG Streamclip is a powerful video player, editor, and conversion tool
for Mac and Windows. It's great at transcoding, but it's also a great
organizational tool for all of your video and media. If you opt to use
it as a player, you can play all manner of video files through it, but
from a video transcoding and conversion perspective, it's fast,
flexible, and completely free. Those of you who nominated it pointed out
that it may not be the newest video conversion app out there, and it
may not be the prettiest, but it gets the job done and can convert just
about anything to just about anything else quickly, easily, and without
complaining—and that's what's important.
Format Factory (Windows)
Format Factory is a free, richly featured video conversion tool that
can convert a laundry list of video formats to a wealth of popular,
supported formats. Its interface leaves a bit to be desired, but it
offers you a ton of conversion options and tweaks to make sure all of
your videos are the same, or each video is just right. The utility even
promises to repair broken audio or video if it can process it. You can
use quick presets to convert videos for mobile devices, and even rip
DVDs. Those of you who praised Format Factory noted that you've never
had a video format that the tool couldn't convert to another format that
you actually needed, and hey—it can also convert almost any video
format to GIF, which is a pretty nice trick.
Handbrake (Windows/OS X/Linux)
Video conversion and transcoding is actually Handbrake's bread and
butter. Even though it's useful for a ton of other things (not to
mention it's your favorite DVD ripping tool),
at its core it does a fantastic job of converting and transcoding video
from one format to another, while giving you all the features, tweaks,
and options you need to make sure it plays smoothly on whatever device
or screen you plan to send it to. It's one of those tools that has
single push-button options if that's what you want, or deeper tweaks if
you prefer those. Even with its options, it's not the most detailed and
option-rich app in the roundup, as many of you pointed out. Many of you
did praise the fact that Handbrake is free, open-source, cross platform,
and gets the job done quickly—and doesn't discriminate by codec,
either.
Freemake Video Converter (Windows)
Freemake Video Converter is, as the name implies, completely free, and a
great tool if you're looking for more options than you could possibly
need in a package that's actually really attractive and fun to use.
Freemake supports over 200 video formats and outputs in virtually every
popular format you can think of, and can even convert online videos to
mp3. There are simple presets for iOS and Android devices, as well as
other tablets, handheld game consoles, and other devices. If you don't
like the presets in the app, you can really customize your own. You can
cut, join, and rearrange videos to create seamless final products, and
more. Those of you who nominated it pointed out that first, all this
power is completely free, doesn't hesitate to leverage the power of your
PC's hardware to power through those conversions, and can handle
anything you throw at it—seriously, anything.
