Are you searching for the best video converter? A few choices on the market allow you to convert your videos quickly. One of those video converters is AnyVideo Converter HD. The software is a slick application, specifically designed for Microsoft Windows. It has a simple interface that's easy to navigate and should be self-explanatory in function.

AnyVideo Converter HD works by supporting a drag and drop process. Simply take your files, drop them into the appropriate spots on the converter and choose your target device. AnyVideo Converter HD goes to work and selects the best conversion type. Numerous amount of formats are included, and the software allows you to choose subtitle tracks and audio if you would like to convert those too.

Another excellent video converter is VLC media player. This popular software also supports a wide range of formats and has a basic interface. It is easy to use, and has a few other features that AnyVideo Converter HD does not have.

VLC media player allows a user to integrate with Web channel streaming services and allows you to play Blu-ray and HD. In fact, VLC media player is not just a video converter; this superb media player also has the ability to handle a multitude of formats.

The VLC media player also allows you to preview files. When you are downloading media, it gives you the option to play incomplete portions of your video files. Hotkey support is also a bonus with this excellent video converter.

One possible drawback to both pieces of software is that some obscure formats exist that these video converters do not work with. AnyVideo Converter HD has the ability to convert MKV files, and the support crew at VLC continues to update and improve the software by adding new features and support for more formats. Obscure files may be incompatible with these video converters. You will probably need to search the descriptions of other software or test them on your PC to determine if they have the ability to handle specific media files.

Whether you need a basic video converter or one that allows you to also play media, you cannot go wrong if you download either option. Both options are free, and both are rated as some of the best video converters on the Internet.
