Description

Free MOV to AVI Converter – Quick start

Free MOV to AVI Converter is the freeware application which converts QuickTime videos (MOV, QT) into AVI or MPG (MPEG-1, MPEG-2).

To display MOV video without the need to install additional codecs from Apple, you need to convert that file into more reliable format, such as AVI or MPG.

The application allows you to set many parameters used by encoder: audio and video codec, audio and video bitrate, fps, sampling frequency, resolution and other.

The Free MOV to AVI Converter interface is a very simple and user-friendly. To convert video files, just drag & drop them into main window and click the Convert button.

At default settings, the application automatically selects all the encoding parameters so as to preserve the original video and audio quality.

The program is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit version. The conversion process of the 64-bit version is faster by a few to 25% (depending on the selected video encoder).

A large number of encoding parameters: audio and video bitrate, fps, number of channels and audio sampling, the volume, change the resolution, scaling and cropping the image, and others.
Possibility of 2-pass encoding, which will increase the image quality and reduces the volume of output file.
The ability to save the FFmpeg encoder commands in a BAT file.
The program is portable: it does not use system registry and all settings are stored in INI files. Thanks to this program can be run from portable devices such as pendrives, memory cards and other removable drives.

3rd party software

To encode the video files the program uses the FFmpeg encoder (ffmpeg.org).

To retrieve information about video files, the program uses the library MediaInfo.dll (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/).

The program is accompanied by a special version of the FFmpeg encoder, adapted to the needs of the program. Not recommended to use other versions of FFmpeg.
