4Media DAT Converter

DAT video files were once widely used to store MPEG video data in VCDs, but they can be difficult to open and process with many common media applications.

4Media DAT Converter is a straightforward tool that allows you to convert these files to multiple video formats. It offers batch conversion capabilities and allows you to modify format settings, but lacks any video editing functions.

This application can be particularly useful if you need to process a lot of files quickly. You can add the clips separately or import an entire folder at once. The program even offers support for drag and drop actions, making the task of adding new items much simpler.

Once you have loaded the necessary files, you can assign an individual conversion profile to each one. This enables you to convert multiple videos to different formats, without having to run many processing jobs.

4Media DAT Converter includes several predefined conversion profiles, suitable for saving content to various file types. The supported formats include AVI, FLV, MP4, MPG, WMV and 3GP.

You can modify multiple encoding settings, such as video size, bitrate, aspect ratio and frame rate, as well as audio quality and channel mode.

It is also possible to split the source video at certain intervals, should you need to burn the output file to a CD or DVD.

While this application is intended for batch video conversion, it would be helpful if at least some basic editing features were included. As it stands, you cannot merge multiple clips, trim particular segments or crop certain areas.

Overall, 4Media DAT Converter is a handy piece of software, designed to offer a straightforward way of converting DAT video files to various other formats. It is easy-to-use but does not allow even simple editing operations to be performed.
