If you work with video, chances are you occasionally need to convert video files from one format to another. For instance, if you?ve downloaded videos from YouTube or other online video services, that content may be in Flash or Windows Media formats, which aren?t viewable on any iOS device. Or if you update web content, you may have a number of movies in H.264 format that simply won?t play in Google?s Chrome browser, which doesn?t support H.264.
There are many tools available for converting video between formats, but the one I often turn to is the free Miro Video Converter (
). While its interface isn?t what you would call Mac-standard, the program does a great job converting videos. It supports a huge number of video formats, including some oddball ones, and it can output video optimized for iOS devices, as well as for a slew of Android devices including the Kindle Fire.
When you launch Miro Video Converter, you?re greeted with a large, dark, and basically empty interface. However, it?s pretty obvious what needs to be done, thanks to explanatory text that states, ?Drag videos here or Choose Files.? To convert one or more video files, drag them into the window, or click the Choose Files link to use a standard OS X file-navigation dialog box to select them.
Once you?re added at least one video, the buttons at the bottom of the interface become active. Choose your output format by clicking one of these buttons (Apple, Android, Other, or Format) and choosing from the options in the resulting pop-up menu. Miro Video Converter automatically selects the resulting video?s size, quality, and codec settings based on the chosen platform or device.
