Format Freedom

Multimedia content can be obtained from a variety of sources, including your own mobile phone. Chances are you need to convert to a format supported by the service or program you want to use it with. On the bright side of things, there are various applications like Format Freedom which offer efficient multimedia conversion.

As far as the visual design is concerned, the application wraps all of its features in a stylish, yet highly intuitive interface. Most of the space is where files are enlisted, with a preview section to snoop through content, output settings in a lower section, and a properties panel for quick setup of file and operation quality.

The application wants to help you perform conversion for nearly all needs, so it comes with quite impressive file support. Multiple files can be loaded at a time, with options for MTS, AVI, MP4, M4V, MPEG, 3GP, WMV, RMVB, DAT, MOV, FLV, MKV, DV, NUT, NSV, VOB, AAC, AC3, AMR, APE, DTS, FLAC, MKA, MPA, MP2, MP3, OFR, OGG, TTA, WAV, and more.

You’re able to save new files under the same formats as above. However, these are offered in an organized structure to help you select a particular device of interest, but there’s also the possibility to create a custom profile and save it for later use.

Several edit options are at your disposal. A video can be trimmed, or multiple items joined together in a single output file. The edit panel makes it possible to crop according to custom parameters, adjust color component values, and even add picture or text watermark.

In case the video of interest is online, you might want to know there’s a built-in downloader, which can also convert afterwards. DVD content can be ripped for conversion. Another great way to load a video is to record it on the spot, either via a webcam, or recording screen activity. Your computer can be automatically turned off once done.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Format Freedom offers a neat, reliable method of converting multimedia items to a variety of video and audio formats, but also grab them from the web, screen activity, or media discs.
