ACDSee Video Converter

ACDSee Video Converter is a video processing application that can convert clips from one format to another. It offers support for many popular file types, including AVI, MP4, 3GP, MOV, VOB, H264 and WMV.

The setup procedure does not take a long time to finish and it is very easy to configure. At startup, you are required to create an ACDSee account to use the app (it requires email confirmation).

The interface is not particularly attractive but quite simple to navigate. Video clips can be added to the task list using either the file browser, folder view or drag-and-drop function. As you may have probably suspected by now, batch mode is possible, meaning that you can convert multiple videos at once to reduce overall task time.

As far as output profiles are concerned, ACDSee Video Converter is very generous. It can turn videos into common video formats, extract the audio stream and save it to favorite sound tracks (e.g. WMA, MP3, WAV, OGG, MKA), as well as ready media for playback on external devices like iPhone, iPad, iPod, Motorola, Sony, Xbox, and so on.

Novives may resort to default settings, while advanced users may tinker with audio and video parameters when it comes to the codec, bit rate, size, frame rate, channel mode and sample rate, as well as split clips into smaller pieces by size or time. Settings may be restored to default, applied to all files in the task list, or saved to new profiles to be used in future conversion sessions.

Moreover, you can specify the number of maximum simultaneous tasks and CPU priority level, ask the tool to exit or play a sound on job completion, disable confirmations when removing tasks or adding files of unsupported formats, and so on. Once again, options may be reset to their factory values. A conversion log may be examined for any errors.

ACDSee Video Converter is pretty demanding when it comes to CPU and RAM, but it does not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs, and delivers quality media files. However, it may take a while to carry out conversion jobs. Nevertheless, ACDSee Video Converter is a feature-rich video conversion application that supports many popular file types, and it can be handled by all types of users.
