GOM Video Converter

If you are familiar with GOM Media Player and GOM Audio, then you know that these are powerful and easy to use tools that brilliantly accomplish the tasks they were designed for. GOM Video Converter, a tool offered by the same developer, is also a powerful tool that does its job efficiently. You will be able to use GOM Video Converter to, as the name points out, convert video files. Since the application provides support for numerous input and output formats, you will be able to convert any video file you have to another format.

Download an executable, run it, and you will be presented with a setup wizard that will take you through the installation process. Said wizard recommends you go with the Default Installation option which includes the following: basic codecs, GOM picker installation (allows you to download streaming videos when using Internet Explorer), create program group, create shortcut on desktop, create quick launch shortcut, create a shortcut in the start menu.

The pane at the top of the application’s interface displays the video(s) selected for conversion. The Source Info pane in the bottom left hand side presents info on the video and then allows you to preview it. The Output Info pane in the bottom right hand side allows you to choose a conversion preset, access the conversion settings, and view info about the converted video.

Using GOM Video Converter is a very simple process that can be broken down into the following three steps:
Step 1 – Select the video you want to convert.
Step 2 – Pick the output format. It must be mentioned here that when you launch GOM Video Converter for the first time, you will be invited to choose a conversion preset. You can always pick another one and you can also adjust a few conversion settings.
Step 3 – launch the conversion process and let the application do its job. In little time it will convert the video based on the specified settings.

Please note that GOM Video Converter is not free, it is only free to try. The trial will embed a logo on the converted videos and will not provide access to a small number of features. A prompt will show up every time you launch GOM Video Converter and remind you that you’re using the trial version.

The powerful functionality and the ease of use make GOM Video Converter a must have for anyone who needs to convert videos.
