Format Converter 4

Watch your videos on all devices

You can enjoy watching videos at home on TV, or when you′re out and about in the underground, on long train and plane journeys, waiting in a queue at the canteen, in the playground, in the car, in the garden, on the beach, and even secretly in the basement. Or at least you could if you just knew why device X doesn′t want to accept video Y or the tablet PC won′t play the lecture recorded via cell phone. Format Converter 4 sorts out both these problems for you. On the one hand, this application makes your video clips suitable for playing on a wide variety of players and, on the other, it saves you the bother of having to know everything about video formats and resolutions, and the answer to the major question why player manufacturers cannot agree on comprehensive standards.

Video conversion made easy

Format Converter 4 allows you to convert Flash videos from Internet platforms just as reliably to AVI, MP4 or MPG (for DVD or portable players) as any of the wide range of video files from the most bizarre sources and any DVD videos that have been purchased or personally burnt. In the latter case, this can be done, at your discretion, by converting the main film or individual chapters. This means that there is no problem either showing the presentation recorded on your cell phone to friends at the bus stop or editing a film that you′ve downloaded for the MPG or DivX-compatible DVD player in your living room.

All done already: Pre-defined profiles

An extensive collection of profiles ensures in this instance, as in countless other cases, that the correct settings are applied, whereby the preset configurations are both targeted directly at individual devices (e.g. the complete Apple range from Apple TV to the iPad) and also cover general target specifications (e.g. Xvid Home). This can ensure that almost no player gets left out. But if one escapes the net, an upload function is available for you to send problem videos via the Internet so that we can give you more assistance dealing with corrupt conversions. We also send you new profiles for Format Converter via the Internet whenever new devices appear on the market or changes to firmware require an adaptation.

Video enjoyment anywhere on any device

There is a long list of devices supported, including Android G1, Blackberry, Sony-PS3/PSP/Walkman, Navis, Microsoft Xbox 360/Zune, DVD and portable players from manufacturers such as iRiver and Creative. It is huge if you also include general format profiles such as DivX Home and HD MP4. If you realize too that many profiles can also be used for other players and can be adapted, if necessary, you might as well give up trying to count. Is your player included? We can say very definitely!
