Convendro

Multimedia files come under different formats, depending on the encoders used to bundle up all quality settings, audio, or video frames. However, not all formats are supported by specific services or players, and applications like Convendro make it an easy process to perform conversion to the desired format.

The application relies on the ffmpeg encoder to function, but it comes with it bundled in the deployment package, so you don’t have to spend any time downloading it yourself. The actual setup process takes little time, letting you check out the set of features before you know it.

On the visual side of things, the interface poses no accommodation problems, with most of the space showing all files you add to the process, along with details like name, source, size, preset, duration, start and end times. Adding files can be done through drag and drop, with support for an impressive variety of formats.

Selecting the desired output format can be a bit of a hassle, mostly because the preset editor, and selection screen are the same. This means you’re able to create your own quality configurations, but there are also various default styles to choose from. These are selected from a drop-down menu, with presets for different mobile devices, as well as individual formats with custom quality specifications.

There’s one thing you need to pay extra attention to, and that’s the output folder. You need to select it from the preset editor every time, otherwise the conversion doesn’t start, with no prompt to warn you of this, neither automatically saving in the same folder as the source.

All things considered, we can safely state that Convendro is a powerful conversion tool with support for an abundance of different formats, since it’s based on the popular ffmpeg encoder. You can customize quality settings, and even save list of files to later on convert to other formats, making this app worth a try overall.
