Free Web Video Converter

The advancements in technology made it possible to enjoy all of your favorite songs and specialized devices. However, not all devices support the variety of formats under which you might own videos. As such, specialized applications like Free Web Video Converter want to help you bypass these shortcomings.

It doesn’t take a lot of time before you can enjoy all the application has to offer. The window doesn’t offer any particular features to make it stand out from the crowd, at least as far as visuals are concerned. Even so, the overall arrangement makes accommodation a walk in the park, regardless of your experience.

A large list is where videos you want to convert are displayed. It’s possible to add one or more items to the list, either through a drag and drop operation, or relying on the browse dialog. There’s decent video file support, allowing you to process formats like AVI, MPEG, MP4, M4V, MPE, WMV, MOV, QT, FLV, and 3GP.

Unfortunately, you don’t encounter the same flexibility when it comes to output, and you’re only able to convert to either MP4 or FLV. By default, conversion delivers the new files in the same folder, but you can choose a different one. Original files are not affected, and there’s no option to have them removed afterwards.

The application comes with emphasis on Apple devices, with specialized MP4 resolution optimization settings for iPhone, iPod, and iPad. You can choose from several values for maximum resolution, as well as the bitrate, and this is easily done from corresponding drop-down menus.

A last note is that the application is not entirely stand-alone, being merely an interface for the FFmpeg encoder. You need to manually download and deploy it to your computer, because it’s not found inside Free Web Video Converter’s setup package.

In conclusion, Free Web Video Converter is a reliable application for video conversion, but mostly if you can’t find the proper format for your Apple device. Unfortunately, the list of output formats is rather disappointing, considering you have the liberty of loading quite a decent variety of formats.
