GOM Encoder is powerful all-purpose video conversion software. Not only does it support a wide variety of input and output formats, but also most videos which can be played with GOM Player can be converted by GOM Encoder.
Build up the input list of files and configure the output settings
After a brief installation in which you can enable the program to download some codecs, you have to select presets every time you initiate the application (e.g. Apple, Sony, Android, Blackberry, Microsoft). You can add one or more files (batch conversion is supported), configure output format and settings, set the output destination, and start converting.
You can configure output settings for the video codec (codec name, bitrate, key frame interval, video quality, resize filter), audio codec (codec name, format), video (size, ratio, frame, color settings, video effects), audio (sample rate frequency, normalizer), subtitles (font, color, position), but you can also attach a logo to the video and set its start and end point, transparency level, position and size. Video joining, audio extraction, and other features
In addition, you can merge videos, use a screencap tool or create a snapshot preview (by using the right-click menu), but you can also extract audio from a video file (by setting the output type to MP3 or AAC in Output Settings).
The encoding process does not take very long - it depends on the source file size and output format. For example, GOM Encoder managed to encode a 107MB FLV file to a 172MB AVI file in one minute and thirty-eight seconds (by using the default settings). While the software is converting a file, you can view elapsed and remaining time, conversion speed, set GOM Encoder to move or copy the output file to a specified directory, shutdown PC, minimize to tray, show an error message if conversion fails, show a message when all conversions are complete, and more.
The bottom line is that GOM Encoder is a great tool for encoding, merging video files, and extracting audio from them. The features could have been more organized for faster and better understanding of its usage. Whats New:
