The best audio/video file conversion utility


What is the best audio/video file conversion utility?

I really like the features that Xilisoft Video Converter have, but unfortunately I see the same bugs over and over again for a very long period of time.

ATM I prefer to use a more reliable conversion software - Replay Converter. It supports less formats, but actually it supports all the formats I really need. Besides it costs only $19.95. Perfect price for the results it provides.

AVS Video Tools and Video Converter


I've tested AVS Video Tools (shareware-$29.95/Windows) and the results were very very good. Very stable converter with many useful features. Highly recommended!!!

Re: AVS Video Tools and Video Converter


AVS Video Converter now supports MKV, OGM, FLV and formats. The developers add new features regularly, but I still prefer to use this video converter

Re: The best audio/video file conversion utility


Uhmm, I like xilisoft video converter. it gave me the expression of a profressional and very powerful video converter with forward thinking guys ever to perfect it.

Amasing, it can convert all video files to iPod, psp, zune, iphone, flv. Seems one does not need extra converters.

By the way, I like the feature that AVS video converter supports MKV.

Re: The best audio/video file conversion utility


er, i quite agree with rosa.
i regard Xilisoft Video Converter as the best one because of its new release.

it has already added many features in its new version.and did a great job for me converting Mpeg to my apple tv.

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.
