River Past Video Cleaner Pro

River Past Video Cleaner Pro is an application which allows you to convert various video formats. It supports AVI, ASF, MKV, MOV, MP4, and others.

The user interface of the program is plain and simple. You can import videos by using the file browser. The "drag and drop" function is not supported but batch processing is.

Once you have specified the output directory (save to same folder as source file, or custom), you can initiate the conversion process.

In the queue you can view the input and output name, duration, size, frame rate, audio and status of each file.

You can trim a video by setting its start and end time, scale, flip or rotate it, crop margins, as well as configure audio and video settings when it comes to the compressor, resolution, frame rate, timecode, grayscale, mode, offset, speed, sample frequency rate, bits, channel, bit rate, and others.

Moreover, you can enable the options to save thumbnails and to display a watermark after you have selected it, as well as specify its transparency color and coordinates.

Plus, you can open a DVD for conversion, play the input files in the default media player, use the "undo" and "redo" functions, set file associations, add audio and video decoders, and more.

The program takes up a low-to-moderate amount of system resources and includes a step-by-step tutorial with snapshots. The image and sound quality in the output videos is very good.

However, a task can take a very long time to finish (sometimes even longer than the video's duration) and River Past Video Cleaner Pro crashed when we attempted to open a DVD. Plus, you have to separately install codecs if you want the program to fully work.

River Past Video Cleaner Pro is a good tool for encoding video files. Even if the interface is not impressive, it is quite intuitive to work with. But the software needs to improve its functionality. Otherwise, we recommend it to all users.
