MediaCoder (Freeware / Windows)

MediaCoder is an absolutely free (open-source) audio/video convertsion software for Windows. It puts together lots of excellent audio/video codecs and tools from the open source community into an all-in-one solution, capable of batch converting between different audio/video formats. With many extra features and a expandable architecture, MediaCoder is more than a GUI of a bunch of command line tools.

Main Features:

• Convert to and from many audio and video compression formats and re-multiplex into various container formats, on the fly, in batch
• Give you the control over the transcoding process and all the parameters of the transcoded files, so you can learn about, compare among and play with various codecs
• Specific user interfaces for specific devices with device plug-ins and extensions
• Fully standalone, no dependent on any media player, filter or codec, no registration of any components into system
• Multilingual user interface

Supported Audio/Video/Container Fomats:

• MP3, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, AAC+, AAC+V2, MusePack, WMA, RealAudio, FLAC, WavPack, Monkey's Audio, OptimFrog, AAC Lossless, WMA Lossless, WAV/PCM
• H.264, Xvid, DivX, MPEG 1/2/4, H.263, Flash Video, 3ivx*, RealVideo*, Windows Media, AVI, MPEG/VOB, Matroska, MP4, RealMedia*, ASF/WMV, Quicktime*, OGM*
• CD*, VCD*, DVD*, CUE Sheet*

* supported as input only

Typical Applications:

• Improving compression / reducing file size
• Converting audio/video to formats supported by portable devices (digital audio player, MP4 player, mobile phone, PDA, PSP, VCD/DVD player etc.)
• Extracting audio tracks from video files
• Ripping audio/video discs

Extendiblity

• Extensions - expand user interface with web designing techniques
• Plug-ins - expand user interface and functions with DLLs

MediaCoder is absolutely free of charge, as it's standing on so many excellent open source projects, in which talents of people around the world are aggregated. If you really like MediaCoder or it does help you, the best way to reward the author of his devoted time and efforts and to cheer him up to keep moving the project forward, is to donate for the project.

Requirements

• Windows Operating System (WINE support on Linux coming soon)
• A fast CPU (with SSE support strongly recommended) if you want a reasonable speed when transcoding videos

Disadvantages

MediaCoder is a powerful program, but it is not easy to use. Its interface was developed by a programmer for other programmers ;) MediaCoder can be recommended to expert users only.
