What Is A Video Converter?
In times past the idea of “video” was exposing film emulsion to light, developing the film and passing light through it to view it on a “big screen”. Though it gained it’s modern meaning through the television’s use of magnetic tape and electricity.
The old video machines were huge and bulky. Behemoths of an older time. Don’t misunderstand. They were “bleeding edge” technology, but where they were large and heavy, our video converters of today are shadows in comparison.
Mere ideas or wisps of imagination that carry images and movies and telecasts that before would take rooms upon rooms of storage in the “old” days now fit on one hard drive.
We view movies on phones with no wires. The airwaves are filled with “channels of choice” for millions of busy individuals who don’t have time to sit through an entire movie, but can watch a movie over a day or two or even weeks at their leisure. Whenever they want they can que it up in their spare moments.
Just consider all the choices on the web concerning software programs developed to encode, or convert, digital video files from one format to another. Video conversion software can convert video to and from AVI, WMV, MOV, and other major file formats.
Utilities can also encode video for the PSP, Apple iPhone or iTouch, or other portable media players.
The question just begs to be asked, what will tomorrow’s “video” be?
