Format Factory How to work with the program. Format Factory What is this program and is it necessary? Saving task lists

And hello again, all-all and that's it.

Today, our dear readers, we will talk about very sensitive and useful program (Who would doubt), which would be nice to be in the media traveleal of each Rainan user. In addition, recently, so to speak, they made a request to tell about something like that, and we could not leave these requests without attention.

We meet our main perpetrator of the celebration (drum fraction :-)) - a very powerful audio / video converter and, I would even say the whole mediacombine, the name that Format Factory..

Actually, what to pull .. go!

Format Factory. Acquaintance with opportunities and filling

I think you yourself know perfectly well what a media converter is (why he need it) and that this is a very useful thing in any computer economy (especially with the advent of any difference, such as tablets, smartphones, and other people, different formats Files, media machinery). However, despite the fact that the demand for these from PC users is great (if not to say, huge) and, it would seem, to choose from what, but not there was something: in some - the functional lame (and on both legs: -)), Others - "incomprehensible curve" interface, thirdly, the saddest (in very many), also pay for all this disgrace. But we will not be about sad, because they come across. About one of these (from the FREE Time Developer Group), as mentioned above, under the code name Format Factory, we will talk.

As always, you first need to download this miracle of programmer idea from the official site. To do this, simply use the online installer, which will download the latest version) or go to the developer page (1) and click on the "Download" link (see image).

Note:
Note that the requirement of the program is the availability of windows family . However, she calmly stood up on the 64-bit system and does not particularly capricious.

Further, if you used the transition to the developer site, then we are offered to select the three options for loading the distribution program: through the main (1), auxiliary (3) servers and-CLINT (2) (see image).

Note:
Please note that if you cannot start the program after downloading and installing, you need to additionally download a Patch with a VC10 distribution from Microsoft, passing by the corresponding link "VC10 Runtime - Download".

Now it's the time to get acquainted with the applications of the capabilities of the software or, in a simple way, to which it is suitable, which is able.

Capabilities:

Converting all popular video, audio and imaging formats;
Restoration of damaged video and audio files;
Optimization of the size of multimedia files;
Support multimedia formats mobile phones, players Samsung, Iriver, Archos, etc.;

Actually, the set of features from the discharge "all inclusive" and nothing superfluous.

However, the program is not so simple, as it may seem at first glance, and pays many more useful buns, for example:

Connection of different parts of the video;
Extracting audio tracks;
Overlay audio on video;
Replacement functions sound track video;
Conversion video to formats for mobile devices (for example, 3GP);
Issues detailed information about files (using the built-in Media-File Info utility);
Supports batch processing of files and disabling the computer after the end of the work.

In general, what to say, its name "Format Factory" (namely, the Format Factory translates) the program fully justifies. Also present is full (which simply cannot but rejoice) and there is support for the Russian language.

Note:
To work correctly correctly, it is necessary to install it (for example, K-Lite Mega Codec Pack).

So, quite lyrics, let's go directly to the process itself.

Running, setup and work in the format factory converter

The installation is extremely simple, produced in two clicks, so it's simplicable to describe here. The only thing worth noting is - it is advisable to put the "Install Inside Codecs" checkbox (in the installed setup menu), in order for the program used its own codecs when performing conversion operations.

After starting the application, the main program window appears before us (see image).

Immediately start with the settings for yourself, your beloved.

The overall setting is made by the "Actions" menu -\u003e "Settings" (see image).

On the first tab of the "Settings" in the "End Folder" field (1), you can set the folder where the converted files will be placed, and apply the template in the output file name.

In chapter " After conversion " (2) You can determine which action will be executed after the conversion process is completed: Turn off the computer / open the folder with the result. The first can be useful when there is a conversion of bulk files (or their large number) - You can start the conversion, and to put the pillow to put the pillow (:-)) - after completing the conversion, the computer will be disconnected. The second can be useful if the files received must be copied or reproduced.

The section "Sounds" (3) is responsible for sounding actions in the program. The section "Miscellaneous" (4) - for the blood clotting of the program in the tray and its update.

Although the settings tabs are quite a lot (as many as 8 pieces), it's not so easy to understand with the go, but, in general, it is not critical to us, because the most difficult and important is already immediately configured under the usual User. If you are an unusual user (and among our readers, you can often find such copies :-)), then you can safely dig (in more detail) in the settings, well, let us know something valuable that we missed. We go further.

The general principle of working with Format Factory is extremely simple (straight as twice two :)) and fully disclosed in the following 5 points:

In the left pane, the action is selected to be made with multimedia files;
In the window that appears, the source files are selected and setting up. After which the "OK" button is pressed;
In the main window of the program, the start button is pressed;
We are waiting for the completion of the conversion process;
Files are ready to view (and are located in the corresponding folder).

Now I will illustrate the process itself. Suppose you need to convert a video file from MP4 format to AVI and do it with the highest possible quality. Select the desired format "All in AVI" (1), set up the quality ("Configure" button on the opposite the "Quality" line), specify the location of the desired file (2) and press the OK button.

Note:
If you initially did not bother to dig in the program settings and did not specify the final folder for the converted file, it's not too late to do this. Click "Select" and decide on the constant habitat of your content.

Note:
Pay attention to such an element as a status bar (1), it displays that we actually try to do and what this attempt will then fall out in the form of a finished file.

After conversion, you can safely go to the final file processor, where, in fact, a converted file should appear. Run it and look, whether everything is satisfied with us.

The process of converting audio files / images to various formats is fully identical to the video conversion process. Experiment - and make sure that yourself.

What I would like to note by the process itself: first, the conversion occurs with minimal loss of quality (if any) are available at all), secondly, the time for which the program converts files depends on the size of the files themselves and the iron acuity of your computer friend. For the speed of Format Factory, in general, it is not inferior to paid analogues.

Actually, with its main task, the program coped, as they say, "with a bang," but we will not stop on the achieved and show some more .. EE .. "chips", which may be very useful to the ordinary user.

Format Factory. What else can you do?

"Format factory" provides users with a number additional features (In addition to the process of the conversion of audio / video), consider some of them.

Receive video information information
Some avid video philas are preserved on the quality of the pictures issued by their monitors. Agree, it's nice when you have a monitor as a screen in a movie theater (with FullHD picture quality), and you can fully enjoy the riot of paints and the action that unfolds on the other side of the blue screen. Why am I all ..

In addition to a high-quality monitor (about how to choose, you will soon be waiting for the most powerful iron review in our best traditions, do not miss) you also need a file of the appropriate format, bitrate, with the desired codec and other different. However, it is not always clear that the video file (with what parameters) is on the computer, especially if there is no worthy player, which can help in this. And here is not what FullHD, there is no-understand-what-hd file, what parameters it has and whether it will be played at all.

So, to help us in a hurry to the format factory, which can show enough accurate and detailed information about video files, for example: format, duration used codec, bitrate, number of frames per second, frame size horizontally and vertical, etc.

In order to get this information, you need to select the "Advanced" tab in the left pane, in it the last item - "media-fileinfo", then specify the file that we want to be analyzed (by pressing the "Select" button), and - Voila! - At the same second we get a rather impressive list technical information About the file (see image).

Note:
Technical information about audio files and graphic files are obtained in the same way (described above).

How to glue flippers video files
To glue 2 or more video files, you need to go to the tab "Extended" tab and select the item " Combine video"After that, in the window that appears, you need to select the final format from the list (1) and add the video files to be glued down. Before running the gluing, you need to make sure that the source video files are located in the order in which it should be in the final roller. If this Not so, you can move them using the "up" and "down" buttons (see image).

Note:
Pay attention to the "List of File List", which allows you to produce various operations with added video phrases, whether: delete, clean the list, play and obtain technical information. You can also combine not only a few fragments of video files, but also to raise the converter with a whole folder with all the digital content there.

Before gluing files, you can view source fragments and configure some codec parameters ("Settings" button on the "File List" panel, see image).

"Use Multi-Threads" (Use multiple thread processing) - set by prosthanizing the check mark in the corresponding field;
« High priority"- set in the context menu of the file by clicking the right mouse button and change the priority to higher (see image).

Upon completion of the process, you should have a certain Solyanka of two (or more) fragments of videos walking on each other. The process of gluing audio files is similar to the above, so you yourself easily master it, but how to impose audio on video, we perhaps will look.

How to impose audio on video
A very useful feature that will have to do novice video edges and not only.

Suppose you recorded the video and want to impose a simple musical background on it. To do this, you must select "MUX" from the list on the left. Further in the corresponding fields, you must specify the name of the video file (1): it will be taken from it (attention!) Only video streams.

In the bottom field (2), you should specify the audio file from which the audio flow will be taken and is imposed on the above video.

Note:
Do not forget to set the desired format of the destination file and configure the required quality (item "Configure" tabs MUX).

As a result of all the manipulations made (indicated in the image), I got a rather funny roller, which demonstrates game process Video Games Assassins Creed 3, where the main character is worn under the sounds of Rammstein :).

Let's see what happens to you!

How to extract audio from video
I will immediately say that the direct function of extraction as such in the format factory is not, but there is a "indirect", which also copes well with its duties.

In order to "pull out" the sound from the video, you should use item "All to Mp3" (Audio Tab). Then specify a video file from which you need to extract the audio track, and start the operation ("Start" button on the panel). Well, and .. Everything, after a few seconds you will enjoy a separate audio track, without a "annoying" video :).

How to make gif animation from video
It's easier now! To do this, you need to use the conversion point in the GIF "All in GIF" (the command is in the section "Video"), and specify the desired video file as the source file as the source file). In addition, you can easily configure the parameters of the animation file, passing the "Configure" button (see image).

It should be noted the following: Video converting to GIF -Inimation is smart and the final file is very miniature, from minuses - a problem with flowers (characteristic of the GIF format), the lack of audio (this is a graphic format as-in no way). Therefore, consider it and use only under your tasks.

Note:
Please note that the "All GIF" command is still present in the "Photo" section, but in the latter case it is intended only for converting images, so there will be no animation.

Now go to the tab " ROM device / DVD / CD / ISO"And we begin to disclose its utility.

How to convert a DVD to AVI
To do it, you need to select "DVD in video" (ROM Tab CD / DVD) In \u200b\u200bthe settings window that opens, you need to specify a DVD-signal or folder on the hard disk in which the DVD -Video is stored. Then select the end format / quality and run the conversion (see image).

Of course, the process of converting video is unprecedented, so you can safely drive away .. for tea :).

How to save audio CD in mp3
On the same tab, go to the "Audio CD to files" section, then in the window that appears, select the CD drive, the final format, configure the quality and run the conversion.

How to create an ISO / CSO image from DVD / CD
To implement this, you need to go to the "DVD / CD in ISO / CSO" section, select the name of the drive drive (from which the image will be created) and the desired image format.

Compression image "ISO<–> CSO "
For some, it may be quite useful feature The image compression in order to reduce the volume occupied by him.

For Format Factory, this is also no difficulty, just go to the "ISO" section<->CSO ", specify the compression ratio (" Configure "button) and proceed to the process itself by pressing the entire" Start "button.

Well, the last (so to speak, on sweet :)), what would I want to mention, that's ..

Mass image conversion feature
The function is quite useful, for situations that forced to resort to it, grabs: let's say, you need to save many drawings in another format or turn scanned pages, or add a watermark, etc. Such batch processing of images is easy and quickly carried out with the help Factory format».

To do this, go to the "Photo" section, select the final graphic format, select the source files to be massacled, or a whole folder, set additional parameters: turn, own size, watermark and proceed to batch processing ("Start" button, cm . image).

After conversion, you will receive all files in a new format, and besides with "watermarks" (if they are pre-in the settings).

Actually, the program is deposited! Our small visor approached the end, which means that the moment came to say goodbye;).

Afterword

As you can see, FF capabilities really inspire respect, and the quality of implementation and simplicity of the program itself causes genuine interest from users. And correctly causes, because only using this program, you can solve the widest range of tasks, without resorting to the use of other highly specialized software. However, the choice, of course, is always yours, dear readers!
