Free Zune Video Converter

Note: This software solution is no longer available for purchase but users can still download it from softpedia and use it with its specific limitations.

Free Zune Video Converter is a program with a name that pretty much sums up its functionality - it lets you turn video files into other formats, namely WMV, MP4, M4V and MOV. But it can also extract the audio stream and save it to MP3, WMA, M4A and AAC.

The interface of the application is user-friendly. Adding files to the list can be done with the help of either the file browser or 'drag and drop' method. Processing multiple items at the same time is possible.

The file queue displays the entry number, name, source format, location, size and status of each file. If you prefer the default settings, then all you have to do is establish the output directory and file type, in order to proceed with the conversion task.

Skilled users are free to fiddle with the audio and video settings when it comes to the bit rate, frames per second, sample rate, volume resolution, size and cropping, among others. Settings can be saved to a new profile or restored to their default values.

You can specify a start time offset and total duration, change the interface language, minimize Free Zune Video Converter to the system tray, as well as save the file list for further processing.

The audio processing program needs a very low amount of CPU and system memory, has a good response time, quickly finishes a task and delivers videos with a fair image and sound quality.
