BlackShark Video Converter

Unlike your computer, your game console, or mobile phone aren’t capable of playing all kinds of multimedia formats, and even the computer needs some sort of special player for this to happen. However, there are tons of utilities like BlackShark Video Converter, with which to find and convert video files to the right, supported type you need.

When launched, the main windows shows up, leaving you a little confused if you ever used a convertor before. This is because you’re first taken into a general menu, where all future operations are stored, as well as ongoing processes, letting you manage them more easily.

Setting up a conversion task is not that difficult, and it’s done in a pretty intuitive environment. Among the first steps of this process is to select the file you want to convert, with options letting you work with formats like FLV, WMV, MP4, AVI, MKV, MPG, MOV, BMP, JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, WAV, and MP3.

Sure enough you can’t convert audio files or pictures to videos, but it allows for a greater variety of conversion options. What’s more, videos you load can be stripped of frames, and even bundled in a GIF animation. Selecting the output format is easily done from a drop-down menu, with various preset profiles for different devices. You’re also free to configure quality settings yourself.

Before putting the conversion process in motion, the application gives you the possibility to enhance the process, besides quality. In other words, color options allow you to apply different effects to the output file, or even add text overlay or an image watermark. In case files take too long to convert, you can have the PC automatically turned off when done.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that BlackShark Video Converter is a powerful conversion application, capable to process an impressive variety of multimedia file formats. Although the visual design feels a little rough around the edges, the operation is successfully performed, living up to expectations.
