The short answer
Choose Video Switch for video-to-video conversion, such as an AVI-to-MP4 job or a batch with a common output profile. Choose the audio extractor when you only need the soundtrack.
Your destination needs another video format
Work backwards from the destination’s accepted container, codecs, resolution and frame rate. The converter gives you output profiles and settings to review. A filename ending in MP4 alone is not a compatibility guarantee.
You need to process a local batch
Add the videos, check the selected jobs and choose an output folder separate from the originals. Try one sample in the target player before converting everything. The video guide covers the workflow and AVI-to-MP4 guide covers that specific pair.
Keep the tool matched to the result
For a soundtrack without the video, use Audio Extractor For Free. For an authored DVD-Video structure, use a workflow that explicitly supports authoring; a converted MP4 is not automatically a playable DVD.
The current converter is free for its supported features and works with accessible local files. Lower output size and unchanged quality cannot be guaranteed simply by changing the container.
