I have been using Any Video Converter for several weeks and I am very satisfied with the conversion results. Previously I use other free software and when I compared the videos that was converted with the old software and the one converted using AVC the result were so obvious. The video converted with AVC were prettier with only minor loss in quality even when the file size and bitrate is almost the same. I’m converting videos because I’m downloading some TV series such as CSI from season 1. The files that were being downloaded each with the size of 350MB and will require 2 x 4.7GB DVDs if I want to burn a full season of the series. 8+GB DVDs are still quite expensive here so the best solution is to reduce the file size to fit into 1 DVD.

I am so glad to have found Any Video Converter software because the file conversion process is very simple and it is FREE. During conversion the software does not eat too much memories and most important it does not heat up your processor. When running on a system with multi-core processor you can see only one of the processor core is throttling at about 80 percent of it’s full speed while the other core(s) is running at normal speed. This is much better than the software that I used before where both processor cores are running at full speed during a video conversion process. AVC can convert videos or extract audio into various formats such as avi, wmv, mkv, flv, mp4, mp3, and wav.

Output formats

AVC can convert videos from almost all video formats such as Windows Media Files , Flash videos, Quicktime, Divx videos, and DVD formats. Users can also customize each conversion video or audio settings. Users can specify the video or audio codec to be used, video size, frame rate, video bitrate, audio bitrate and audio sample size.

Readable formats

I was converting 350MB videos with overall bitrate of about 1100kbps to smaller size of 195MB with overall bitrate of 617kbps using same setting as original video except the bitrate. The video format is .avi using xvid codec, video size and frame rate were all similar to the original files. I change the audio sample size from 48000Hz 117kbps variable to 44100Hz 123kbps variable bitrate. The result is video quality is of course reduced but even when the size and bitrate was reduced about 40 percent but the video quality was changed only about 20 percent. Another noticeable different was the audio volume on converted file was increased and clearer than the original file maybe because I increased the bitrate. I made screenshots for both the original and converted videos for you to see the difference by yourself.
