What is Video to Video Converter
The Video to Video Converter is a program designed to translate media files from one format to another. The portable version of the application is a slightly condensed recompilation of the full program installation. The main difference is that the primary executable can be copied onto a thumb drive or other device so that it can be run independently without requiring a full installation. The portable version is functionally the same as the full version with the exception of VobSub Filter subtitles. The portable version does not include this functionality although it can be enabled through menus if the codec is on the target system. There is no wizard, and no installation is needed.
The main function of the program is to convert media files between formats. These could be video or audio files. The application goes beyond just drop down menus listing formats. It actually has a tabbed selection window that organizes the different conversion formats into categories. Users can choose basic formats like MP4 or proprietary formats for applications like the RealPlayer. The application can convert video into hundreds of formats for individual cell phones and mobile devices. It has formats for specific online video websites and high-definition playback on televisions. The program can handle over 200 input formats and over 700 output formats and presets.
The application also includes a number of other tools that make dealing with videos easier. Several of the tools allow users to split videos, combine videos or combine separate video and audio. Another tool will convert each frame of a video into a single image. The program includes a very basic burner that can create CDs and DVDs. The application even contains a special tool that gives users the ability to mark commercials from a television recording and then remove them with a single click. Other program functions include DVD ripping and video watermarking with custom images.
The Video to Video Converter portable version is installed with 13 different language packs. All of the interfaces within the program are simple to understand and use. Anyone who wants to convert a few files can do so quickly with just the buttons on the main display. The application also has the ability to load new skins. The skins change some of the visual aspects of the application so that it looks more attractive. There are several different skins available for download.
The portable version of the Video to Video Converter goes to great lengths to remain independent from the underlying system. The application does not install or change any codecs already on the computer. Everything is contained within the program. A disadvantage of this is that the converter is somewhat slow when processing longer movies and uses a large amount of resources. Another slightly inconvenient thing is that the application minimizes into the tray automatically when it loses focus. Aside from these two issues, the portable version of the Video to Video Converter is one of the best and most comprehensive free programs available today.
