AllToAvi Review
AllToAvi is a free utility for Windows-powered PCs that offers a simple way to convert just about any video file into AVI format. Whether it's IGM, MKV, MOV, WMV or any of the many other most popular video formats, this application does the job quickly and efficiently.
Its graphical user interface is well organized, and it's easy for users to take full advantage of its functions without having to go through lengthy tutorials or other documentation. Moreover, it's possible to add AllToAvi to the right click context menu and enable Fast Start (skipping component checks so that the program launches instantly).
A feature worth noting is the ability to specify how each conversion job will be handled by the tool, by choosing a destination folder and a target AVI file name. It is also possible to select the resulting file's size and bitrate as well as choose the audio tracks and subtitles to include.
It is also worth mentioning that the application supports an extensive list of codecs, allowing it to handle a wide variety of video and audio formats. In addition, it allows the creation of multiple conversion jobs that can be run in a flexible batch mode. This is a fully open source utility, centered around mencoder, and it includes both a command line tool and a GUI for Windows.
