Tipard Video Converter is intended for converting between media formats. In this regard, the application supports a wide range of video formats (MP4, AVI, MOV, FLV, MPEG, WMV, MP3, AAC), including high-definition, even 4K.
The design of the user interface is too similar to that of other media converters. On the one hand, this is an advantage as it reduces the learning curve considerably. On the other hand, it can be disappointing if you expect something more innovative.
Fortunately, the application supports batch processing. You can start by creating a list of files to convert. In this regard, it is possible to import individual files or entire folders. However, it is a pity that it does not allow importing from discs and image files (ISO), nor does it allow recording video directly from a camera or the screen.
Good news is that the converter lets you choose one of the output profiles. Thus, you do not have to worry about whether the resulting files are compatible with the desired devices, such as iPhone, iPad, iPod, Samsung and Android.
It is good that the application has several editing features. For example, you can choose one of the audio tracks or insert a new one from an external file. I really appreciate the possibility to extract several segments from the same clip, which can even be merged back together. You can also crop the image and adjust properties such as brightness, contrast, saturation and hue. Finally, it is excellent that the application can improve the quality of the original video, which is very useful when trying to increase its resolution.
All in all, Tipard Video Converter is an excellent choice when it comes to converting video and audio. It transcodes quickly and without loss of quality, and even offers the possibility to upscale the video. The product can be purchased both from the developer's site and from the Mac App Store. I advise you to pay attention to the prices, as they may be different depending on the seller. Some features such as video enhancement and adding subtitles must be paid for separately via In-app purchases.
