GVC

Regardless of their preferences in music or movies, everybody uses their PC to listen to albums or to watch their preferred releases, and everyone has been informed, at some point, that they do not have the required codecs to play a certain format.

There are two steps that can be taken: either browse the web and download the appropriate codecs, which can be quite time consuming, or convert the source file to another format that is supported by your player.

If the second solution is chosen, GVC can prove useful – a user-friendly application that can encode both audio and video files to other formats.

GVC can also be used as a standalone player, thus enabling users to preview the source videos before converting them (this way, one can make sure they are processing the correct file).

Due to the straightforward interface of the software, novices do not encounter any issues in creating a list with the files they want to encode, then choose the default output format from the Settings window.

Experts have a wide array of options that can be customized to their liking, such as the framerate, aspect ratio, audio channel or sample rate, whereas the beginners can stick to the standard ones and still obtain high-quality clips.

GVC supports multiple formats, so it can convert not only the common multimedia formats (MP4, MKV, AVI, FLV, SWF, OGG, FLAC, MP3, WMV, MOV) but also those that are rarely used (such as PCM, HuffYUV, DV, Theora, MJPEG).

GVC can prove to be very useful when users stumble across a rare file format and want to be able to access its contents. Simply convert it to a more popular format that can is supported by a wide range of multimedia players.
