Pazera Free MP4 Video Converter

Pazera Free MP4 Video Converter is a free program that allows you to convert almost any video and audio file to MP4 format. MP4 files created by the program can be played on many portable devices (iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Microsoft Surface, HTC, PSP) and fixed media players (WD TV, Xtreamer, Popcorn Hour, ASUS O!Play).

The video stream from the input file can be encoded using modern video encoders: H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, or the old generation, but still popular Xvid encoder. For encoding audio streams, the program uses AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) or MP3 encoder.

The program includes a number of conversion profiles developed for the typical conversion tasks, designed primarily for novice users. More advanced users can customize many video and audio encoding parameters: video and audio codec, video and audio bitrate, display aspect ratio, frames per second, resolution, color conversion to grayscale or sepia, brightness, audio sampling frequency, volume and other. The basic usage of the Pazera Free MP4 Video Converter is very simple: just drag & drop video files into the main window and click the Convert button.
