Apex Zune Video Converter Home Edition

Apex Zune Video Converter is an application with a pretty self-explanatory title - it allows you to encode video clips to the MP4 format, supported by Zune devices. It can be easily used by individuals of all levels.

The interface of the program is plain and simple to navigate through. Video clips can be imported into the list by using the file browser only, because the "drag and drop" method is not supported. Batch processing is allowed but you can import only one file at once.

In the queue you can check out the source path, split span, frame size, output format and status of each video. Once you establish the output directory and file type, you can proceed with the encoding job.

You can configure audio and video settings when it comes to the size, bit rate, frame rate, volume, channel mode, format and sample frequency rate.

Moreover, you can preview clips in a small, built-in media player and trim them by marking the start and end position, enable Apex Zune Video Converter to automatically turn off the computer after encoding, as well as remove an item from the list or clear the entire queue.

The video encoding software takes up a moderate amount of system resources, has a good response time, quickly finishes a task and generally keeps a fair image and sound quality. However, Apex Zune Video Converter didn't recognize several videos during our tests (e.g. 3GP, MOV) and failed a couple of tasks (e.g. ASF-to-MP4). We recommend you look for something more advanced than this tool.
