It is very confusing to most users when it comes to the various media formats; whether it be audio (music), video and picture files. Once you think you have the file formats figured out, you will spend a great deal of time trying to find a conversion utility that will take one file format and convert it to another so that it will be compatible with whatever device you are working with.
I recently started using a FREE program called Format Factory that makes the conversion process from one media format to another a breeze.

Hey, how about MediaCoder? It is much more easy to use, has more conversion settings, and has a smaller install.
Only con is that it doesn’t convert pictures.

Thank you for visiting the blog and leaving a comment… I will have to check out MediaCoder and do a writeup on it.

mediacoder easier than format factory???? no way. mediacoder is about the most detailed (and most powerful) coder made. ffactory is about as simple as it gets. i use mediacoder when i want to get technical with my settings. wanna talk “demux”? lol.
