Audio
Format Converter 4 offers you greater freedom of movement with your audio CDs, talking books, songs and even video soundtracks, regardless of whether your player is in your living room, built in to your car or hiding in your trouser pocket and no matter which format it prefers: MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, WAV or FLAC. But what if you need the opposite? No problem either, because you can use Format Converter 4 to produce long-term archives of your musical treasures as well, without any loss of quality at all from compression.

Video
At times we thought that the number of video formats could comfortably compete with the diversity of content available. It makes no difference to Format Converter 4. It accepts without any fuss almost every kind of video clip on the planet and converts it so that even the player you use has something it can get started with. "Profiles" is the magic word. An extensive collection of profiles offers suitable settings for all the major players, from cell phones to games consoles. Even if it doesn't actually work, you can create new profiles based on the relevant settings or send us the clip via the Internet for analysis.

Photo
The advent of digital cameras has created two problems for their owners: how do they archive their memories efficiently and what's the best way to display them? Format Converter 4 has solutions to both these issues: if you convert your treasured photos to BMP format, you can keep them forever or edit them for photo albums. If you convert them to JPG format, you can display them on the Internet or in digital photo frames. Best of all, an automatic scaling feature ensures that you don't lose any part of the image and maximum use is made of the display.

2D to 3D
Format Converter 4 also provides you, if you want, with a strong foundation in the new medium of 3D. No matter what kind of new technology you have or prefer, the Format Converter 2D to 3D plugin adds the third dimension to your videos by converting the necessary data in them. The technologies supported include shutter (e.g. NVIDIA), polarization and anaglyph.
