VideoProc ConverterA Free Video Converter Like No Other

For a video converter to be the best among its peers, the critical criteria to look for are:

• Range of codecs and formats supported
• Conversion quality and speed
• Ease of use and batch task support
• Degree of customizability for advanced codec settings
• Video decoding and encoding efficiency
• Good customer support and regular updates to include the latest tech in video processing
• Free without watermark or competitively priced for the features offered

The high-quality video converter, as demonstrated by VideoProc Converter, will help you to convert and compress videos on a case-by-case basis, that is, the conversion decisions are made by advanced algorithms based on the analysis of each frame, the complexity of the image, and the motion in between, thus achieving the indented balance between image quality, file size, and speed.

More often overlooked, these are the core features that make the best video converter stands out:

1. Robust support for mainstream and rare formats, no defects after conversion
2. Option to remux and swap container, no re-encoding and thus guarantee 100% original image quality
3. Toggle 2-pass encoding to better allocate bitrate for complex scenes
4. Keep audio/video in sync, no frame drops or freezes, no audio defects after conversion

Depending on the use case and your goals, here are some nice-to-have features:

1. Quick editing features to streamline the workflow
2. Video enhancing features such as video stabilization, denoise, filters, black bar removal, wrong orientation fixer, lens correction, and color LUTs
3. Toolbox to record screen, convert DVD, extract audio, handle subtitles, convert video to GIF, image sequences, split video by duration or time, merge spanned clips, create ISO, make MKV, etc.
4. Video editing-friendly codecs such as ProRes for the post-production crowds

VideoProc Converter is high on the list to include all these core features and add-ons, and it is the only one that supports level-3 Hardware Acceleration tech, which is the key to enhancing conversion speed without compromising image quality.

There are three dimensions at stake: the specs of the source video, your computer hardware configuration, and the efficiency of the video converter. On the video side, factors such as source file size, resolution, encoding methods are the main concerns. Better GPU CPU, larger RAM, etc normally deliver better performance.

But don't worry, a well-designed video converter will influence the speed of video conversion and may surprise you even on old computers. The key is: hardware acceleration, efficient encoder/decoder and flexible options that allow you to tweak codec settings.

VideoProc Converter support full-level hardware acceleration, with a massive 47x performance boost. It can significantly relieve the burden from CPU (to 2% for instance). Better yet, this converter support remux, so that user can pass through the media when transcoding is not necessary, thus maintaining 1:1 quality and speeding up the processing.

Some converters deliver a faster result by compromising video quality, that's not the case with VideoProc Converter. Users can always choose high-quality engine, and use efficient codecs to achieve a balance between conversion speed, file size and image quality.

Poorly programmed video converter may struggle to keep the quality by increasing the bitrate (and thus a larger file size), or it doesn't support the latest efficient codecs that achieve better compression rate at the same image quality.

A well-designed video converter supports variable bitrate (VBR) and 2-pass encoding to better distribute bitrate for complex scenes, while maintaining the overall bitrate level. Plus, a high-efficiency codec such as H265 reduces file size by 50% at the same quality. These are at the cores for VideoProc Converter to deliver results better and faster.

1. When the target format and source video support the same codecs, then you don't need to transcode but only swap the container. In this way, the video and audio stream stays the same – known as remux in the industry. With VideoProc Converter, you don't need to check about the details, simply enable Auto-Copy and the converter will remux the video for you.

2. When transcoding is a must, you can enable 2-pass encoding for VideoProc Converter to better analyze the video frame by frame, and calculate the best way to distribute the bitrate, allowing more data for complex scenes, and less data for simple, still scenes.
