It is a tough question.

I rip DVDs with StaxRip, convert MPEG-2 TVrips into MPEG-4 (xvid / x264) videos with VirtualDub,...

I also used Nero Recode for converting DVDs and MPEG-2 videos to MPEG-4 AVC files. I really liked that it could add DVD chapters to the video. Sometimes it is a must have feature and it was the only thing that stopped me from converting some DVD videos.


If freeware Jaksta Free Media Converter works fine for you and you are satisfied with its interface, you can use it.

Otherwise you should think about features you really need.

AVS Video Tools that includes AVS Video Converter is a nice bundle. AVS Video Converter has so many features! Besides the video converter I regularly use AVS Video Remaker to cut off TV commercials.

There are things that I don't like in AVS Video Converter:
  • It doesn't support some formats.
  • I don't like the way it crops the video (and I don't wanna see black borders in my videos)
  • 2-pass encoding requires me to set up each step (at least to change from first pass to the second one)
  • I need other products for DVD and audio conversion

I also like Cucusoft Ultimate Video Converter. It is a chinese product with weird language on the web-site and potential problems with support. But I like it anyway.

I don't like Xilisoft Video Converter. It is very good on paper. But in reality I wasn't able to convert into many formats while other software did the job perfectly. And this situation doesn't change with newer versions...

One word. SUPER. It's an amazing converter that can convert virtually any media file imaginable. The GUI is a little ehh... probably created by someone who can't speak fluent English. But still, the best converter.

Try PubClip.com. Upload your media and they convert it to its optimal format for streaming. It's as low as $14.99 and they have a lot more features that allow you to easily add audio, video and testimonials to your websites, emails, blogs and podcasts.

Try freeware Jaksta Free Media Converter, MediaCoder and Format Factory first.

We do NOT recommend even to try software from spammers:
Wondershare spammers, Aimersoft spammers, 4videosoft spammers, Aiseesoft spammers, shine spammers, Nidesoft spammers, Pavtube spammers, Xilisoft spammers, Xlinksoft spammers, iSkysoft spammers.
We are sorry if you have chosen the above mentioned software after reading spam posts. Always try software before buying. And we highly recommend not to buy software promoted by spammers, otherwise you will see more and more useless "reviews" in the Internet.

Another free GUI converter front-end that is quite good is Altysoft Free Video Converter 2.1. It does especially well on the .flv container.

Of course, when converting, transcoding, extracting, or muxing video - you always get the most options using the command line programs directly.

i am so surprised that no one here even mentioned Jaksta Free Media Recorder, Format Factory and Freemake. They are freeware and have nice user interface. Most of software product have a "soft" in their brand name are spammers according to my personal experience.
