ReConvert

Multimedia files come under a whole bunch of forms, depending on the encoder used to build the resulting file from sources. However, not all programs are capable of reading for playback all existing formats, especially portable players. In this regard, ReConvert comes with the means to help you choose and convert multimedia files to the desired format.

Can be used on the go

A cool thing about it is that you don’t even have to go through a setup process to make it work, and so you can start a conversion process as soon as download is done. Just be sure to install .NET Framework if it’s not already there, because it’s a mandatory requirement for functionality. Registry entries are not altered in the process, so you can even use it on the go.
The visual design is a pretty compact window, but manages to cleverly delimit and present all of its sections. On one side you find all import and output fields, while the other panel is used to define quality settings in case you choose to convert according to your own settings.

Various preset and custom values

The application relies on the FFmpeg encoder to convert files, but it’s already included so you don’t waste any time looking for it and installing it. In terms of file support, you can work with quite the variety of audio and video files, such as AVI, MPEG, WMV, RM, QT, MOV, FLV, 3GP, WAV, and MP3, with different preset configurations for popular multimedia devices.
Sadly, you can only process one file at a time. As mentioned, it’s possible to ignore preset configurations and define your own. If custom format is selected for output, setup values for audio and video parameters become available, such as codec, bitrate, framerate, size, aspect ratio, extension, samples, channels, and more.

In conclusion

Bottom line is that it’s best to be sure of the format of interest before initiating playback of an audio or video file. In case the target device doesn’t support the format you own, then ReConvert offers a high chance to provide the settings you need, either by choosing from available presets, or configuring your own parameters.
