Today, the software market is saturated with tons of audio, video and image converters alike. Ranging from freeware to shareware, from converters that only support converting to one format to converters that convert virtually any format. The fact that many different options are available also means that the quality of the products also vary. Some converters may take considerably more time than the others while others would produce varying sizes when converting the same file to a similar quality. of the same file format. Some of them allows numerous configurations to the output file of the media while other only provide a format and contain set, predetermined values for the file in terms of quality and file size for example.
For the most part, a converter that converts to numerous formats, produce appropriate quality, provide numerous configurations to the output file and provide a speedy conversion process would be shareware that costs around the standard price that this type of software should be which could be anywhere from $20-100. Even then, these converters would only convert one form of media as in audio, video or images.
Bringing an end to the suspense and breaking it down for you, Format Factory is a multimedia converter that converts to virtually every audio, video or image format. It is a lightweight application supported by all Windows Operating Systems, allows various customization for any format you are converting to and converts pretty fast as well, and the best part, it’s absolutely FREE!
It’s probably one of the more underrated applications out there as i’m yet to see it on the ‘top downloads’ list on a software portal (Oh maybe i’ve just missed it). It supports adjusting of bitrate, resolution, selected conversion etc. for video conversion, similar settings for audio conversion, except for another handy feature of boosting the volume of the output file and inserting tag string into images for image conversion among plenty of other features.
The interface is sleek and easy to use and also offers conversion for particular devices based on their formats (Conversion to MP4 for iPod, iPhone, PSP, etc) and support for 38 languages.
Looking at the post it seems it’s been all praise for Format Factory and rightfully so, i’ve been using Format Factory for some time and am yet to find a flaw with the application and I guess their site stats of approximately 25000 visitors a day speaks for itself. If you are a frequent user of a media converter i suggest you try Format Factory. I doubt you will be disappointed.

Geeeez, they missed the feature I was looking for. Changing mp3 to iphone ringtones.
You can change to m4a, then shorten track to 30 sec and then change extension to m4r manually. Why they didn’t give us this feature? I don’t know.

well, i guess that’s pretty much the only thing they’ve left out. It should be added as new versions are released, maybe you can contact them.
