MediaCoder Web Video Edition

MediaCoder Web Video Edition is a free tool that represents an optimized edition of MediaCoder, the popular audio and video conversion tool. This version has the purpose of creating movies for web publishing, including in Flash Video (H.263 or H.264), MP4 and OpenVideo (VP8) formats. It comes packed with a wide range of settings you can configure.

During the setup operation, you can choose the components to install and exclude the rest when it comes to the audio and video modules, NVENC, Intel Accelerated Encoder, and multiplexers. Afterward, you're welcomed by a clean interface made from two windows, one that holds together the menus and task list, and another for tinkering with the settings.

A wide range of media file types can be added to the task list, such as AVI, MP4, WMV and MP3. You can handpick files, select a directory, indicate a folder to watch, add a track, URL or RSS, or capture footage from a device.

When it comes the configuration settings, you can pick the preferred output format, resolution, video and audio bit rate, apply an image overlay and video title, crop the clips, trim and crop videos, make image adjustments (e.g. brightness, contrast), take screenshots, and load subtitles.

Moreover, you can run transcoding benchmarks to determine your computer's hardware capabilities, preview movies in a built-in media player, as well as convert multiple video clips at the same time to speed up the task overall. UI plugins are supported. You can choose from simple, normal and expert interface mode, change the GUI language, or view statistics and errors (if any).

All things considered, MediaCoder Web Video Edition comes bundled with numerous options for experienced PC users interested in tweaking every aspect of their video files before modifying their format to be able to upload them on websites.
