XMedia Recode

There are a lot of digital audio and video formats available in the present digital world and it's really difficult to find an application or media device which can play all of them without problems. An immediate solution to the worry-free playback of media files is to convert them to compatible formats, which will be supported by a certain application or device. Unfortunately, most media converting applications present on the market are difficult to use and don't offer the functionality desired by the average computer user.

Still, there are some applications which manage to fill this gap. One of them is XMedia Recode. This Windows program allows you to convert a wide range of video and audio files from a format to another and it even supports Blu-ray and DVD discs. After installing and launching the application, the first thing the user should do is to select the source, which can be either a media file or an optical disc. When choosing to convert video and audio files into other formats, one will be able to import several files at the same time into the program's interface.

After doing so, he will just need to select the name of device that will play the converted file or, alternatively, select the file format in which the source will be converted, manually. For each format, the user will be able to freely customize quality settings and adjust them according to his taste. There are numerous video and audio formats to choose from, including AVI, MKV, MP3, WAV, OGG and many others.

By accessing the options section of XMedia Recode, the user will be able to customize the program's functionality, by configuring multi-threading settings, which allows the application to use all the cores of a multi-core CPU for a faster encoding process. What's more, there is also a bit-rate calculator, which allows you to select the best quality settings in order to obtain a fixed file size.
