4Media MP4 Converter

4Media MP4 Converter is specifically aimed to convert video to MP4 format. Additionally, it can rip audio CDs and extract music from video.

The application has an intuitive interface, quite similar to those of other converters supporting batch processing.

As input, the tool allows importing from various sources. Thus, in addition to standard files, you can also add whole folders and audio CDs. A wide range of input formats is supported, including practically every popular format available. The imported contents can be previewed but, differently from many other converters, this application will not allow you to take snapshots of selected scenes. Another limitation is the absence of authoring functions, like trimming, cutting, watermarking and adding subtitles. Regarding this, the only supported function of this type is splitting the output files according to a given size.

Although this application can convert to MP4 as its name suggests, it also supports other output video formats, such as FLV, WMV and MOV. Moreover, various audio formats are also allowed. These formats are configured as built-in profiles, which in turn are classified according to their base formats and supporting devices. Thus, it is easy to convert video according to the specifications of your device. Moreover, if the available presets do not satisfy your needs, you can also customize them and even create new ones. One particular advantage of this converter is that you can add multiple output profiles to the same input file, which allows you to convert it into multiple formats in a single session.

In general, 4Media MP4 Converter is a fine application that can do its job accurately and fast. However, I think its price is somewhat exaggerated for a media converter that lacks many features that can be found in similar software.
