The short answer
Start with the requirements of your destination, then select the output profile. Container, video codec, audio codec, resolution and frame rate can all matter—not just the filename extension.
Find the output requirements first
Check the player, device or editing project that needs the video. Note the accepted container and codecs, and any limits on resolution or frame rate. A format that works on your PC may not work on an older device.
For example, if the destination asks for H.264 video and AAC audio inside MP4, choose a profile that matches those requirements. Use the AVI-to-MP4 guide for that specific input/output pair.
Add the batch and choose the output
Add your local videos to CyberPower Video Switch. Check the selected items, choose a supported output profile and review each job’s video and audio settings. Preserve the source dimensions when you do not need resizing.
A lower bitrate can reduce size at a quality cost; a larger output is also possible. Test a short representative video before committing a large batch to unfamiliar settings.
Save separately and verify playback
Select Save to and an output folder, then start Convert. Keep the originals. When the batch finishes, check picture quality, duration, the intended audio track and sync in the actual destination player.
The converter works with accessible local media. It does not make protected media usable by changing an extension. For audio-only output, use Audio Extractor For Free.
