Among the growing crowd of media converters out there, it is becoming harder and harder to come across a true batch conversion tool – i.e., a converter that does not end up being a ‘bulk conversion tool’.
That is, to me, the definition of what a batch conversion tool should be. Make no mistake - if your new software tool converts more than one file at a time but applies the same settings and the same output format you selected last to all of them, then you’ve been sold a bulk converter instead. AnyMP4 knows the difference, and that’s why they allow you to treat each file on the conversion list individually. As an option, and only as an option, you can click on the “Apply to All” button if you happen to need to convert all your files using the same output settings.
The program’s look and feel does not differ much from its many competitors. It offers a sufficient video player in its main interface for you to check out the files selected for conversion and a wealth of output formats, both video, and audio, each with its specific bunch of settings. You’re offered a set of device-based profiles to make the format selection even easier. Besides, and on top of the list, you’ll also find some useful categories, such as “Recent Used”, “User Defined”, “General Video”, or “Lossless Audio”.
Before converting your files into a different video format, you can improve or enhance (or simply change) your video appearance via the built-in video editor. Do not expect anything fancy – actually, it is enough to correct some minor lighting problems (misleadingly labeled as “Effect” in their tab name) and, most importantly, to rotate, crop, and trim your videos, turn 2D video files into 3D, and add a watermark to them for copyright protection.
The conversion process itself is quick and turns out high-quality results. And that, together with its true batch conversion capabilities, is what makes AnyMP4 MP4 Converter stand out from the great majority of media converters available in the market. The tool is not cheap, but it will provide a level of flexibility and versatility that you won’t easily find anywhere else.
