Digital Video Converter is a freeware application that lets you convert video files between various formats. Rip DVD movies into the AVI file type of your choice (DivX, MPEG-4, etc.), or capture video from your web camera or TV tuner. You can also join and split video files, allowing you to easily edit movies.

This software is useful for changing the format of a video file to make it compatible with other devices. If you want to watch a movie on your smartphone, tablet or gaming console, but the current video file you have isn't supported, then you can use this program to quickly change the format to make it compatible.

The layout of this software is basic and easy-to-use. While you'll likely be able to figure out how to use the software without having to read the instructions, there's a "Help" button in the top-right of the program that directs you to a manual created by the developer.

Digital Video Converter allows you to upload your converted videos to VideoAuthor. VideoAuthor is a website that hosts videos, audio and images. You can upload media files and then quickly share them with your family and friends.

This software is designed to work with Windows 2000, 2003 or XP. Your system needs at least 2 MB of hard drive space to download the installation file, and you'll need another 10 MB of hard drive space to install the software. It's important to have an all-in-one codec pack installed, as well as Window Media Format runtime or Windows Media Player. Most modern computers already have these necessary requirements installed so you likely won't have to download any additional content.
