Although modern video and audio players are compatible with multiple formats, sometimes we need to convert our files to another format for different reasons. XMedia Recode is an audio and video format converter with many various options that go from the most common such as MP4 and MPEG to other more rare such as OGA or MXF. This is an advantage for advanced users who know about those formats and their pros.
For common users like me, the program offers a variety of formats that is more than enough to satisfy our needs. For example, we can convert our WAV audio files to the more compact and popular MP3 format, or rip our DVD files and convert them into MP4 to play them on our mobile devices.
The program's interface is simple and straightforward. It does not have fancy buttons or colors, so it may appear dull to some users. Nevertheless, this simplicity adds to the easiness of use. You only need to open the file you want to convert, select the destination format, add it to a queue, and click on the Encode button. True, it does add some steps that are not present in other, simpler programs, but this one offers many more features than these.
Besides the huge amount of available formats, it has a bitrate calculator that allows you to obtain information about the source file and output files, as well as to adjust several advanced parameters. Obviously, to take advantage of all its features, you need to have some previous knowledge, but if you only want to perform basic format conversion tasks, you will not have any problem with using this program that, besides all its advantages, is absolutely free.
