Video 2 MP3

Video 2 MP3 extracts the audio stream from video clips and saves it to MP3 format on the go. It does not comprise additional options or configuration settings, so it can be handled by anyone. It comes in a lightweight and portable package.

While many may complain that the app is not resourceful enough to make room for customization, others say that it is straightforward and gets the job done rapidly.

Since there is no installation implied, you can drop the executable file in any part of the hard disk to use it directly, as well as save it to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit to follow the same steps and use Video 2 MP3 on another workstation without any previous installers.

An important aspect to take into account is that the tool does not create new entries in the Windows registry or Start menu, leaving the HDD clean after removal.

Running the executable file brings up a large panel which shows instructions on how to use Video 2 MP3. Basically, all you have do is drag a video clip over the executable to immediately start extraction. No additional dialogs pop up. However, you can hover the mouse over Video 2 MP3 to check the current status.

There are many popular video formats supported, such as AVI, ASF and MKV. Another interesting fact about Video 2 MP3 is that it features batch processing as well, meaning that you can drag a selection of videos to convert them at once to reduce overall task duration.

The output files are created in the same directory as the tool. Users should be careful, though, since it overwrites files with the same name without confirmation. The original file name is preserved.

Video 2 MP3 carries out extraction tasks rapidly while remaining light on system resources. It doesn't always delivers quality audio but it is pretty decent in most cases. Video 2 MP3's straightforwardness is indisputable.
