What is Free Video to Mp3 Converter

Free Video to MP3 Converter converts video files to audio files in a wide range of formats. The title of the application explains exactly what the software does. It's made by DVDVideoSoft, the maker of other video-converting software such as Free YouTube to MP3 Converter and Free DVD Converter. You can download Free Video to MP3 Converter by itself or as part of the Free Studio suite of applications.

Interface

Free Video to MP3 Converter's interface is simple and easy to understand without looking at a manual. You simply choose your input file, output quality and destination folder and click "Convert." You have the option to add multiple files at the same time to perform batch conversions for an entire folder.

If you get tired to selecting the same settings every time you convert a file, just click "Options" to set your preferences for the application. After setting these persistent options, every time you open the application, you can easily convert a file by clicking "Convert."

Input File Format

Most file formats can be converted, including MKV, Video TS, 3GP, MP4 and M4V. In addition to MP3 output format, Free Video to MP3 Converter supports WAV, Ogg and WMA, which can sometimes result in a higher-quality audio file. The software includes the Lame encoding libraries for creating MP3 files, so no additional downloads are necessary.

Cost

While Free Video to MP3 Converter is free to the end user, you end up paying for the cost of development and distribution by viewing ads. In other words, the program is ad-supported, and you may also have to install a browser toolbar. Any bundled software can be uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel, but you should know what you're getting before you install the converter.

Features

One nice feature of Free Video to MP3 Converter is that it exports a snapshot of your video to use as an image thumbnail for the MP3 you create. You can use this image as the video portion of a YouTube video if you decide to upload the track to your account. The thumbnail can also be seen in applications such as WinAmp, iTunes and Windows File Explorer.

Drawbacks

The main drawback to Free Video to MP3 Converter is that it doesn't let you extract a small portion of a video. You have to convert the entire video to an audio file, so if you just want a sound clip from a DVD or full-length movie, you'll end up with a huge audio file the entire length of the video.

Pros

  • Supports wide range of video and audio formats
  • Creates an image thumbnail
  • Free (ad-supported)

Cons

  • Doesn't extract small clips from large files
  • Prompts you to install bundled software
