MediaCoder Universal Media Transcoder 0.6.1

Editor's Review of MediaCoder:

MediaCoder is a free universal batch media transcoder which means MediaCoder can convert any audio or video file format into any other video or audio file format.

You can use MediaCoder to convert your .AVI files to .MPG files or convert your .WMA files to .MP3 files, the list is endless.

Why would anyone ever need this? Well certain audio and video players may only play certain formats. Let's say you have a great movie you want to watch on your iPod while at the gym. But your video is in .WMV format, and your iPOD doesn't play this type of movie. Well you can use MediaCoder to convert your .WMV file to a MPEG-4 file, then just sync to your ipod. You can do this for your iPod, Zune, PSP and Apple TV; all through a simple interface.

• MP3, Vorbis, AAC, AAC+, AAC+v2, MusePack, Speex, AMR, WMA, RealAudio, mp3PRO
