As multimedia computing becomes an integral part of the mainstream, there has arisen a need for tools to empower users to become drivers of the technology behind it. A major drawback with most of these tools though, has been their tendency to be in bits and pieces, in that it has been hard to find an all in one tool for multi-media computing. We have ended up in a situation where there are different tools for file transfer, file management, video/audio editing, and a whole different lot of versions, especially for the increasingly popular mobile devices. Another drawback has been cross-platform compatibility, especially for the mobile computing devices.
It is in addressing these needs that Wondershare, a multimedia-computing powerhouse came up with Video Converter Platinum, a multi-purpose, multi-platform video format converter, which also has audio conversion capabilities. It is primarily a video format converter, that lets you convert your video files to various other formats, while maintaining their quality and integrity, to meet system requirements and playback on common players such as iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, Zune, PSP, Pocket PC, Creative Zen, Archos, among many others. Download the demo version and see if it works with your video player.
It supports all major video formats, including MP4, MOV, 3GP, AVI, WMV, RM, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, FLV and ASF. It comes with a flexible audio converter, which supports M4A, WMA, WAV, MP3, AAC and AC3 formats. Moreover, to jump the itunes hurdle in computer-to-ipod transfers, Video Converter Platinum comes with a built in ipod copy manager. For PSP users, Video Converter Platinum comes with PSP Video Manager, to facilitate transfer of video files between their computers and PSPs. Video Platinum Converter also has video cropping, trimming and merging capabilities, with rich video and audio options. It also offers solution to the age-old problem of capturing and saving specific pictures from video files.
Video Converter Platinum has modest System requirements, the minimum being Windows 2000/XP/2003 and at least Windows media player 9.
It is currently retailing at $35, and like all great technologies, it comes with a free trial. This is a timely software solution that I would recommend to everyone in multimedia computing. With the great array of integrated features it offers, I foresee it becoming an industry standard in the very near feature. I will rate this at 9.5 on the scale of 1 to 10.
