Any Video Converter is a piece of software that allows the user to easily convert a video file into a new format. The tool is powerful, fast, and conserves video quality with excellent precision. The graphical user interface is surprisingly pleasant for such a simple program, and it doesn't require any advanced experience to take full advantage of the software.

Some of the most popular and commonly used video formats are supported by Any Video Converter, including MPEG, MPEG-4 Pod/PSP, AVI, WMV, VOB, DVD, DivX, MOV, XviD, RMVB, RM, and a number of other formats used in portable devices. To help it stand out from other video converters of the same variety, Any Video Converter also includes a built-in tool for downloading videos from YouTube and other online sources. This tool not only downloads videos in one easy step, but it also can be set to automatically convert downloaded videos into a single format.

Another useful tool found in this software is an audio extractor. While this is nice to have in some instances, it is limited in the formats to which it can extract audio content. It supports exporting to AAC, WAV, OGG, MP3, M4A, and WMA formats. These are perhaps the most common audio formats that you would want to be able to export, but a few more options would have been nice.

Any Video Converter doesn't stop there in terms of features. It also includes a disc burner that will work with both Blu-ray and DVD formatted discs, and the software has the ability to perform extremely basic video edits. Those who have greater experience with video converters will enjoy the ability to alter codecs, frame-rate, and bitrate of video files.

Downloading videos from YouTube is extremely easy, and it easily stands out as one of the breakaway features of the software. All you have to do to download a video is copy the URL of the video page and paste it into the downloader. Once you click the OK button, every video from any URL included in the downloader will automatically start downloading.

After the videos have finished downloading, the software gives you the option to convert their formats one last time before finishing. This allows you to convert individual files from one format to another while leaving the rest alone during a batch download. There are YouTube downloaders that you could argue perform better, but Any Video Converter doesn't tout the feature as its main attraction, so it's more than suitable for a bonus feature.

The fact that this software is entirely free doesn't hurt its appeal either. The power of Any Video Converter is exceptional, and it's surprisingly light on system resources for such a comprehensive video conversion and manipulation app. It's definitely worth a try if you are in need of an app for converting your video files into more preferable formats.
