CONV2

Convert files with CONV2

Choose a preset, configure FFmpeg options, and complete a media conversion in CONV2.

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

  1. Add an input file or drag it into CONV2.
  2. Choose a quick preset, or open advanced settings when you need a specific container, codec, bitrate, or hardware encoder.
  3. Select the output folder and filename.
  4. Start the conversion and watch its progress.
  5. 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.
