BlackBerry Converter Suite

BlackBerry Converter Suite is software pack that consists of two separate programs designed to help you prepare DVD videos, plus audio tracks and other video types (e.g. 3GP, AMR, MKV, FLAC) for BlackBerry - DVD to BlackBerry and Video for Blackberry.

The tools are wrapped in a clean and intuitive interface. Videos can be imported into the file list by using either the file browser or tree view ("drag and drop" is not supported). It is possible to work with multiple items simultaneously.

The file queue allows you to read the original and trimmed length (if you want to cut clips), estimated size, along with the destination name and format of each item. If you want to leave settings unaltered, then you can immediately proceed with the conversion procedure after selecting the output profile and directory.

Experienced users are free to tinker with the audio and video settings in regard to the resolution, encoder, frame rate, bit rate, frequency and number of channels. These parameters can be saved to a new profile or restored to default.

You can merge and crop videos, as well as trim them by size of chapters. The program also lets you modify the image (e.g. contrast level, grayscale filter), apply watermarks (text or image) and enable a plugin subtitle. Plus, you can set the app to automatically turn off the computer or to open the output directory after encoding.

You can select the audio track and subtitle language, as well as preview videos in a built-in media player and take snapshots (as BMP or JPG). The "Options" area grants you access to changing the interface language along with snapshot directory and format, as well as setting the tool to check for program updates on a regular basis.

The BlackBerry Converter Suite requires a low-to-moderate amount of system resources to finish a task quickly. It includes a help file and manages to keep a good image and sound quality in the output videos. Unfortunately, you cannot specify the thread priority or minimize BlackBerry Converter Suite to the system tray.
