Before its  release, lots of Canon fans have been waiting for the Canon EOS 7D camera. I  have just bought one recently, but it captures videos in H.264/MOV format,  which is not a workable format in my editing software Magix Edit Pro 14. So I have to find a  video converter to help me out. Through taking a whole weekend to do Google  searching and trying out many programs, I end up with Pavtube HD Video  Converter. I am very pleased with this program as it does an excellent job of  conversion, which converts my videos into any format that I could possibly need.  Share its detailed steps here, and hope it will be of some help for you guys  who have a Canon 7D as me.

First off, download Pavtube HD Video Converter,  install and run it.

Step 1: Launch this program and load MOV files into it

You can click “Add” button to import .mov files, or you can  directly drag and drop the files into this program.

Step 2: Click the drop-down menu of “Format” to select  output format

With multiple output formats, Pavtube HD Video Converter is able to output  proper formats for numerous video editing software and portable devices like  iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry, Apple TV, etc. I select “AVI HD Video (*.avi)” as  output format for my Magix Edit Pro 14.

BTW, if you wanna combine multiple mov files to be as a single file, you can  tick the checkbox “Merge into one file”.

Step 3: Click “Settings” button to adjust audio and video  parameters

To make good control of the output file size and quality,  you can adjust all the items in the following interface, including codec,  aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channels. Generally  speaking, the larger input values, the better output quality, but accompanying  with the larger output file size; the smaller input figures, the smaller output  file size, but accompanying with inferior output quality. That is to say if you  want to do advanced settings, you need make a balance between the file size and  the file quality.

Step 4: Click “Convert” button to start conversion

Once begin, the following window will show you clearly  about the conversion information, which will help you to manage your time and  storage space in a proper way. If you do not want to wait for the whole  conversion process through, you can choose “Shut down computer after conversion”  to leave it alone.

As long as the conversion is completed, you can click on “Open”  button in the main interface to get the generated files.

Well, several simple steps, hope it helps.

Until now, all my three TV cabinets have been full filled  with a large number of DVD and Blu-ray discs. I believe it is time to digitize  them and back up some of them to the hard drive of my PC, and others to a large  capacity external hard drive, so as to manage all the movies in a tidy and  orderly way.

I just did a simple search for a blu-ray ripper and  reviews on Google, and found the Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper. Almost every guide or website  review either rated Pavtube as the No.1 ripper or as being highly recommended.  I also read some user reviews from different websites that convinced me to  download the trial version of this application. It worked perfectly on both standard  DVD and Blu-ray conversion. Best of all, I was able to open, copy, and watch  every　Blu-ray movie, irrespectively  whether the Blu-ray was bought in Japan, Europe, or USA. Share this utility here,  and hope this helps.
