PVAStrumento

PVAStrumento is a lightweight Windows utility built specifically for helping users convert PVA files to MPEG-2 file format. PVA items contain a sequence of audio and video packets that cannot be normally opened with media players and, this why you need to convert them to a suitable file format.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry. You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to convert files on the breeze.

PVAStrumento sports a clean and straightforward interface that gives users the possibility to add files using the “drag and drop” support or built-in browse function.

What’s more, the program lets you perform demuxing operations, which means you are able to separate the audio and video streams, as well as extract the audio streams from MPEG items and save them to PS file format.

The utility offers support for batch processing, which means you can add multiple items to the list and convert them at the same time.

Other important options worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to configure the audio and video parameters, split files by selecting one of the preset modes or specifying a custom size, as well as set priorities.

PVAStrumento also keeps a log with details about the performed operations and possible errors, which can be exported to a plain text file.

During our testing we have noticed the tool carries out a task very quickly and without errors throughout the entire process.

To sum things up, PVAStrumento gives you a hand when it comes to performing conversion operations, and is suitable especially for advanced users, as the configuration panel is not very intuitive and rookies may spend some time setting up the dedicated parameters.
