CeBIT 2007: ArcSoft Releases MediaConverter 2.5

ArcSoft has just released the ArcSoft MediaConverter 2.5, a multimedia conversion application. It is certified for Windows Vista and includes new features. DVD conversion is fully supported, as is automatic conversion and uploading of files to the popular video sharing website, YouTube.

"The demand for a broader range of file format support and greater ease in transferring files continues to grow," said Michael Downs, ArcSoft Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. "In addition to increasing file format support, MediaConverter 2.5 greatly increases device support to include many more mobile phones from Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Palm, Samsung, and Sony. With more than 50 device-specific templates, people don't have to know all the complex parameters needed for reformatting and transferring video to portable players."

MediaConverter 2.5 reformats and optimizes videos, photos, and audio on a PC for transfer and playback on a variety of portable media players and mobile phones. The new version includes extended device support and format support for DVD, YouTube, and VOB conversion. Other supported formats include MP4, MP3, AVI, ASF, WMV, MOV, and RM.
