Outcome
Convert a video or audio file to a format supported by the selected FFmpeg preset.
Before you start
Install a packaged CONV2 release. FFmpeg is bundled. Keep the input readable and the output folder writable.
Steps
- Add an input file or drag it into CONV2.
- Choose a quick preset, or open advanced settings when you need a specific container, codec, bitrate, or hardware encoder.
- Select the output folder and filename.
- Start the conversion and watch its progress.
- Open the output file with a player that supports the chosen format.
Expected result
CONV2 creates the output file and reports completion. The input file remains unchanged.
Recovery
If a conversion fails, keep the input and error text, then use Fix a conversion before trying another preset.
