There is a deluge of software available for transcoding audio and video files from one type to another, but many of them specialize in certain files types and many of them will cost you a large some sum of money. That’s why MediaCoder stands out above the rest (via Jake Ludington’s MediaBlab). The beauty of MediaCoder lies in several areas. For one, it is absolutely free. And in this case, you get much more than you pay for. Free, however, isn’t everything.
It can convert to and from various sources. It can read MP3, OGG/Vorbis, ACC, MusePack, WMA, RealAudio, FLAC, WavPack, APE/APL and WAV files on the audio side. Video sources include AVI (Xvid/DivX/H.264), MPEG1/2/4, QuickTime, WMV/ASF, RealMedia, MP4 and Matroska. It can also read CUE Sheets, CDs, VCDs and DVDs. It can convert those audio sources to MP3, OGG/Vorbis, AAC, AAC+/Parametric Stereo, MusePack, WMA and Lossless codecs FLAC, WavPack, Monkey’s Audio (APE), WMA Lossless, and WAV. It can put your video into H.264, Xvid, DivX 4/5, MPEG1/2/4, and H.263. Additionally, while going back and forth between formats, you can adjust compression or customize the target for use on devices like Mobile phones, PDAs or even the Sony PSP. All in all, it looks like a real winner of a product, though your mileage may vary.
