DVRConv Update 12801: Support for More New Formats, Format Variants and Timestamps

Reading time: 2 min

We’re here with another update for Amped DVRConv, one of the fastest ways to cleanly convert multiple video files.

Amped DVRConv remains one of the top go-to tools for practitioners who need to convert video quickly, cleanly and easily. It’s my first choice when I have a large amount of video files that I need playable – I simply drag and drop my files into Amped DVRConv and it does the work for me in the background, while I am free to work on other processing!

It’s also great if you are out in the field and need to convert video on the go, ready for when you return to the lab for input into Amped FIVE or to pass onto colleagues or other agencies. The great thing is, the original files are always preserved and log files created with each conversion, meaning your original video evidence is always kept secure.

We know how many different standard and proprietary video formats are out there and how frustrating it can be to come across a new format that you just can’t seem to do anything with.

For this reason, we are constantly working to add support for more formats that you send to us and in this update, we’ve done just that!

You’ll find Amped DVRConv now supports conversion of 5 new file formats: 002, IFS, IGD, VER and WEBM.

We haven’t stopped there! We also understand that, while one file format may already be supported, a new variant will appear and behave completely differently, so we’ve added support for 31 variations of already supported file formats, including 18 different EXE variants. On top of this, our development team has been able to identify and support 10 further timestamp formats and allow for the demultiplexing of 17 of these format variants!

The full list of supported formats can be found in the Amped DVRConv user guide after clicking the “Help” button when running the application.

Bug Fixes

There’s always a few! This time we’ve fixed a bug that was causing unnecessary slowdowns during conversions of large groups of files.

So, what are you waiting for?
