The problem nowadays is that there are so many codecs needed to play videos and films that sharing them is not as easy as it should be.

MakeInstantPlayer gets around this problem by avoiding the need to even have the right player installed because it creates an EXE file that can be opened by anyone and played anywhere. There's no need to install any codecs or any player with MakeInstantPlayer.

MakeInstantPlayer uses the MPlayer compressor so that conversions are quite quick but the quality remains very good. However, the MakeInstantPlayer EXE files aren't exactly small so you'll need to either ZIP them up or transfer them by some other method than e-mail to friends. There is a certain amount of customisation you can perform too in MakeInstantPlayer - you can also add a URL with an image to appear before it plays and also select whether you want it to open in full screen mode or shrink mode when it's opened.

MakeInstantPlayer is a great way to send files to friends that either don't have the right player installed or not the right codecs.

If you have some AVI videos that you would like to watch on your TV as DVD movies, you need AVI DVD Burner.

With AVI DVD Burner you can convert any AVI files into DVD format in just a couple of steps. Simply locate the source AVI files, select the appropriate format to convert them to DVD (PAL or NTSC, depending on your DVD region) and let AVI DVD Burner take care of everything else.

There are two features in AVI DVD Burner that I specially liked: one is the support for subtitles, which can be embedded in the converted file straight away, and the other is the built-in recording tool with which you can burn your DVD right after converting the AVI file.

On the downside, I think AVI DVD Burner misses having a more complete settings menu, as well as the possibility to create and save customized conversion profiles.

AVI DVD Burner lets you easily convert AVI videos to DVD format and burn a DVD disc with the resulting files right on the spot.

With such an ever growing range of multimedia devices, no wonder format converters are becoming so popular these days!

Any Audio/Video Converter is one of those converters: a simple, easy-to-use application that support pretty much any format you can find nowadays and lets you convert both audio and video files in just a few steps.

The program works with a list where you add the files you want to convert, no matter what format they are. Then you configure the conversion options for each one of them separately and finally click on the "Convert" button to let the program do the rest. I think this method is quite handy and saves you loads of work and time; pity the trial version only accepts one file on this list!

Any Audio/Video Converter includes a built-in player in its interface, but it's only good to watch the video while it's being converted and not preview it before actually starting the process.

With Any Audio/Video Converter you can convert basically any audio and video file you can think of, in a quite easy process that involves very little effort.

Not a day goes by – at least for me – without having to convert media files to one format or another. If you too are in this situation, you need something like FormatFactory.

This full featured format converter enables you to convert all sorts of multimedia files (audio, video and images) between the most popular formats, including WMV, AVI, MPG, MP3, WMA, AAC, JPG, PNG, GIF and more. What's more, FormatFactory supports all the media formats used by portable devices like the PSP or the iPhone.

The program is really easy to use – that is, once you get used to its somewhat weirdly designed- interface. Don't look for any File button or menu, because there isn't any. The option to add files to the program's interface doesn't appear until you select the target format. You can select individual files or complete folders, and also tweak some basic conversion settings if you want.

Despite its slightly confusing interface, I found FormatFactory to be a really handy, efficient application, and also one of the few I know that converts everything: photos, music and video.

With FormatFactory you'll be able to convert pretty much any media file to other formats, including those used by most portable devices.

The conversion process consists of nothing more than selecting the video file, choosing the format and making the adjustments required i.e. type, aspect ratio, video resolution etc. The whole process is fast and easy although for some strange reason, the developers have not included a DVD, VCD or SVCD burner for your creations.

If there's a Youtube video you like, why not take it with you all the time, no matter where you are?

This is what you'll be able to do with Plato FLV to Video Audio Converter, a video conversion tool that has been especially developed to convert FLV videos (that is, the format most online videos are published as) to other popular formats used in the majority of portable devices these days. The program also supports other formats though.

Plato FLV to Video Audio Converter includes a built-in player where you can preview videos before converting them to the selected target format. The good thing about this program is that all supported formats are available as device profiles, meaning that if you want to convert a video for your iPhone, you don't have to fiddle with strange settings like audio bitrate, sample rate, video size or frame rate: you simply select the iPhone profile. However, those users who prefer to be in control of every single detail can also tweak those settings by themselves.

Plato FLV to Video Audio Converter was quite fast during our tests and did a good job in conversions. I guess the only thing this program needs is a somewhat urgent interface redesign.

With Plato FLV to Video Audio Converter you can easily convert FLV videos and other formats so that you can carry them around in your portable device.

WinFF is the Windows version of one of the most popular video converters on Linux. It enables you to covert video files into several different video formats including Xvid and WMV.

WinFF has a basic GUI with a multitude of options and functionalities that will help you select the videos you need, previsualize them and define the format of the conversion. In addition, there are other specialised options such as the ability to change the ratio of the conversion, the resolution or the quality of the audio track.

Although WinFF is a fairly stable converter, it does struggle with long names especially those with unusual characters. To avoid problem, I advise you simply all of the names of the files that you want to convert. Otherwise, you might find that the program simply rejects the files for no apparent reason.

This is a convenient and quick file converter that still needs a few bugs ironing out before it would be my number one choice.

I liked the simplicity of use and the wide range of formats supported by Plato Video to 3GP Converter. On the downside, the interface is a bit too dull. Also, it would be great to have predefined profiles for certain devices, such as the iPod, the iPhone or the PSP.

Creating customized DVD movies is a piece of cake with Droppix DVD Maker. The program takes care of everything so that you only have to worry about enjoying your favorite videos from the couch.

You can use any video files stored in your local drive (the program supports the most popular formats) or import videos right away from famous video websites like Youtube, Daily Motion or Google Video with just a single click. Droppix DVD Maker also includes several ready-to-use menu templates you can use to create personalized DVD menus, though the method to change them is not very well implemented (a double click on the current menu image would be much more intuitive than having to open the program's settings menu).

Another drawback to Droppix DVD Maker is the fact that you can't preview the video before converting and recording it to the actual disc, while other similar tools usually include a built-in player. At least the conversion process is easy and quite fast too.

Droppix DVD Maker lets you create customized DVD movies in a very easy way, but lacks some handy features found in other similar tools.

MediaCoder has set itself as a software referent for video conversions and now is offering the same functionality and capabilities for portable devices.

After releasing a PSP and iPod Touch versions, we've been presented with MediaCoder for Mobile Phone, a new MediaCoder edition that has been especially developed to convert video files to mobile formats such as MPEG-4, 3GP and AVI. While the format selection is not that wide in itself, it should be more than enough to fit most mobile phones nowadays.

The program features three possible interface configurations (Simple, Normal and Expert) from which we recommend the first one, as you don't really need to tweak all the program's settings and it's clearly the easiest to use.

Available formats and codecs can be selected via a drop-down menu: this means you can select them manually, but there are no profiles ready to be used. A standard mobile phone image lets you get an idea of how the video will look like on your device. Sadly there's only one to choose from.

MediaCoder for Mobile Phone converts your favorite videos to mobile compatible formats in an easy, fast and efficient way, so you can carry them anywhere with you.

Quick Media Converter is a flexible and comprehensive solution for converting video and audio with an eye on simplicity, usability and speed.

In fact, it is the speed of this particularly converter that impresses above everything else. It's incredibly fast at processing and converting files although it dies seem to be hit and miss in the final result. For example, some files you may find have not converted quite like they should have or are totally unreadable. It seems that sometimes, the speed is down to the fact that it's not quite processing files in the right way. The interface is very easy to read with all the logos of the possible conversion formats across the top - including FLV, Quicktime and RealMedia. This is sufficient for most users although if you need control over the specifics of the output file there are more options in the Expert Mode tab. From here, you can specify everything from resolution ratios to audio compression and codecs. The problems here arise however if you don't have the right codecs installed. If you try to convert to Xvid or vice versa without the right codecs, then the conversion will either refuse to run. Everything is easy enough to configure via drop down menus and tabs.

A powerful and speedy converter that works across multiple formats although don't be surprised if some of your conversions result in blank videos or unplayable files.

Forget paying for a program to rip your DVDs to your computer because thanks to the wonders of open source, HandBrake is here to convert disks to MPEG for free. Considering it doesn't cost a dime, the application delivers exceptional results. Converting any type of DVD through a simple-to-understand UI, the program whizzes through the process of producing an MPEG-4 file to save on your machine.

You'll need to have the right codec installed for the type of file you wish to convert (DivX, Xvid, OGM, 3ivx, etc.) but HandBrake lets you perform two-pass conversions and to codify a double soundtrack. Another great feature is the bitrate calculator, which alters the quality of the video according to the final file size you wish to achieve. You can even trim the black bands around a movie to maximise the size of the file. Although I experienced a couple of crashes with this version of HandBrake, it's nevertheless a great open source solution for ripping your DVDs.
