    • SUPER to convert between almost any file format
    • AutoGK for conversion to AVI/DivX/Xvid
    • AVI Recomp for re-encoding AVI files for more compatibility
    • VidCoder for Blu-ray/DVD to MP4/MKV (H.264) conversion
    • DVD Flick for video file to DVD conversion, you might also try FAVC if DVD Flick doesn't work well for you
    • and MeGUI for more advanced users that want more control over their conversion.


    All freeware as well, so no need to mess around, except that the commercial ConvertXtoDVD is a pretty good video file to DVD converter, if you need to do a lot of those (and don't want to deal with the various issues with DVD Flick, FAVC).

      Also check out the tool many video converters use:

      AviSynth

      It takes a bit to wrap your head around it. You don't "start" or "run" it like a normal app. Programs or you manually, create a script. The AviSynth dll and 3rd party plugins provide the code, to do things like filter the video, add subtitles, resize, remove jaggies etc...

      It's very powerful.

        Hi seth fang,
        I tested today the Avanti encoder. Avanti is the front-end and the encoder is FFmpeg. It is very powerful video converter and free from malware.

        During my search for a video converter I installed a bunch of video to video converters yesterday / today and now my computer is packed with malware

        I will write a short description about how to get Avanti installed and run.

        I hope this will help you...

          Format factory, will convert to almost any other format and is quite fast and you can use avisynth with it.

              IMO, Super is not worth a recommendation as there are so many great alternatives with fancy interface and powerful functions. The program should be easy to use and has many built-in presents as possible.

              BTW, it takes minutes to find the right download link of Supper on its official site and has ads in its installation process.

                Which is why we offer it as a direct download here

                SUPERsetup.exe <- SUPER Downloads | Software - Digital Digest

                (Just make sure you deselect the included ad/optional downloads, there are quite a few of them, during the install - you need to press the "decline" button to skip them properly)

                The "magic" of SUPER is that it literally supports almost every format, including the less often supported 3GP, WebM, as well as some of the more obscure audio formats. But I do agree that the interface is kind of "clunky" and not all that user friendly.

                Also, another multi-format converter to consider is TEncoder, haven't really used it much myself, but while it doesn't support as many formats as SUPER, most of the common formats are supported:

                TEncoder 1.7.1 | Software - Digital Digest
