XMedia Recode

In English - I needed to convert an video file in .mp4 to AVI or other file format to edit it in Sony Vegas. This so far is the best program in windows to do such thing. It's free,doesn't come with any other bundle (as "bundleware"), antivirus friendly (at least for me using Qihoo 360) an simple to use. Totally recommended,awesome alternative to programs such as freemake video convert and others.

In Brazilian Portuguese - Precisei converter um arquivo de vídeo em .mp4 para AVI ou outro formato para editar no Sony Vegas. Esse até agora é o melhor programa no windows para tal tarefa. É gratuito,não vem com nenhum outro programa indesejado(chamado de "bundleware"), amigável ao antivírus (pelo menos para mim usando Qihoo 360) e simples de usar. Totalmente recomendável,ótima alternativa a progrmas como freemake video convert e outros.

Was the best free converter available for Windows. Now it's a buggy mess. Ignores parameters you set up for conversion including output folder and uses parameters for previous session. Or doesn't convert anything and just throws an error.

The only program I could find that would allow me to copy MP4 video without reencoding yet also allow me to swap out the AAC audio for Dolby Digital, which my finicky device requires. Fast and batch processing too!

Pitty, it crashes repeatedly [the app simply terminates itself], after adding a video-file { installed on Win10, latest version; latest device-drivers, etc.}. I am looking for an alternative to Handbrake {as side-bar-trimming of old video-records & achieving the correct aspect-ratio is a trial- & error-business with it}. Alas, Xmedia Recode is not the solution for the afore reason.

Maybe the next full version will resolve this problem?

very very good! finally i found a tool which replaced disscontinoued Tencoder!

keep this tool running! its veryfast and nice gui if you want to tweak around! 5*

Free. Incredible amount of options. Cutting out video on sides Cutting out just middle part of the video. Aspect ratio change.

Should be open source for numerous reasons.

One of the few video encoders that doesn't require you to re-encode everything, for example converting video and allowing you to 'copy' audio. You can even go from container to container without re-encoding anything, like AVI to MKV. You can rip out audio also without re-encoding, to the proper container (like AAC, M4A, MP3, OGG, etc). It also supports subtitles, whatever you want to do with them (add, extract, remove, transfer, etc.).

The biggest negative that I don't like about it is that it doesn't support nVidia's Cuda (or other brands), that would be a big plus if it supported it. Also, it can be buggy sometimes, but not very often
