Audio/Video Converting FAQs


Q1: The audio track does not sync with moving video pictures perfectly. Why and how to fix it?

(1)You can solve the problem by changing the output video format.

(2)You can adjust your video size to a smaller one. In this case, please go to the right corner of the program and change the video size of the basic settings.


Q2: Is sound normalization available?

Yes. Click options button button in the upper right corner of the main window. Choose "Audio" Tab, adjust the sound normalization in the Audio Volume pane.


Q3: Can I disable the audio in the video?

Yes. Go to the right pane in the main window of Any Video Converter, find Audio Options, and check "Disable Audio" option.


Q4: How to get better audio quality?

You may set higher Audio Bitrate and Audio Sample rate to get better audio render.


Q5: My output video is twice of the original video playback speed. Is there a fix?

For some special videos, the duration of the output video is only half the time or twice of the input video duration. Please check "Avoid incomplete conversion" by menu Edit --> Options --> Advanced and try again.

You can try to solve this problem by adding this command line –speed x to the "Additional MEncoder options" under the Advanced tab of the Options window. (x=Output video duration/ Input video duration)

Supposed the original video duration is 30 seconds, but output is 15 seconds, so you can add this command line -speed 0.5 to "Additional MEncoder options" to try again.

If original video duration is 30 seconds, but output is 60 seconds, you should use this command line –speed 2.0 instead in the "Additional MEncoder options".

Please Note: The method above is for Any DVD Converter. The new Any Video Converter Free, Any Video Converter Professional and Any Video Converter Ultimate have greatly improved it. If you encounter such problem, please simply mail to us: support [at] any-video-converter.com (replace [at] as @ before sending message).


Q6: The converter doesn't convert the entire video. It shows complete when encoding status reaches 70% or so. Why?

(1)The problem may be caused by the bad frame. You can skip this bad frame by checking "Avoid incomplete conversion" option under the "Advanced" tab of the "Edit>Options" window. (Only for Any DVD Converter)

(2)Please add source video to MediaInfo by clicking File > Open > File and then set the video bitrate, video framerate, audio bitrate and audio sample rate parameters in Any Video (DVD) Converter according to the Media Info to try again.

Please note that some source video files may be encoded with defects that would disrupt or mislead the converting process. This sometimes will cause converting errors and the out-of-sync problem. In this case, it's suggested that you change output format or the input files.

(3)Please try other kinds of video output formats.

(4)If this problem persists, please send us one or two video clips for testing. If the file is too large to send via email, please upload it to (https://www.transferbigfiles.com/) and tell us the file name and download link, and then we can download here and give feedback soon.

Yes, Any Video converter Professional and Any Video Converter Ultimate can do a good job on DVD conversion. If you can remove the encryption of the DVD by other third-party program, such as DVD Decrypter, our Any Video Converter Free will also be able to convert the decrypted VOB files.


Q20:I loaded a wmv file for conversion but got this error message: "Convert failed: ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec G2M.dll …Cannot find codec matching selected –vo and video format 0x334D3247." Can you help?

1. Copy g2mtranscoder.exe AND g2m.dll files and paste them onto the ROOT C: drive (ie not in a folder).

2. Place the gotomeeting recorded file on the root C: drive as well.

3. Launch the command prompt (start -> run -> cmd).

4. If the command prompt launches and shows a file/folder path (ie C:\Documents and Setting\etc) then type "cd.." (without the quotes) until you are seeing just the root C: in the command prompt line (will look like C:\>).

5. Now, type the following at the prompt: "c:\g2mtranscoder.exe source=c:\videofilenamehere.wmv". (of course put the name of your video file instead of those words, and don't forget the .wmv).

6. This should have kicked off the conversion, but there is no visual indication of this. You can make sure it's working though - open Task Manager and click on Processes then sort by CPU usage, you should see the g2mtranscoder hogging all your CPU cycles. It's working!

7. Drag and drop the .wmv file into AVC/ADC for converting when the g2mtranscoder.exe process stops.

It would take about 20-30 minutes for g2mtranscoder.exe to convert a one-hour long file to a generic WMV file.


Q21: All the default video size cannot meet my need. How to get my desired video frame size?

Go to the right pane of the program, unfold the "Basic Setting -->Video Size". You can manually enter the frame size you want. But the output format lists for Apple Products and Android Products do not allow you to manually set the frame size.


Q22: Can Any Video Converter convert audio files?

Yes, the latest Any Video Converter Free, Any Video Converter Pro and Any Video Converter Ultimate support converting audio files between different audio formats, such as MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, M4A, OGG, .etc. Freeware Any Audio Converter can also convert audio to MP3, WMA, WAV, FLAC, AAC, M4A, OGG, etc.


Q23: Can Any Video Converter support multiple-core?

Yes, Any Video Conevert supports multi-core CPUs, which can take full advantage of your PC power to accelerate the converting speed. The newly adopted NVIDIA® CUDA™ technology can totally accelerate your PC GPU, so as to finish your converting task with ultra-high speed and best output quality.


Q24: What is Constant Quality and how to use it?

Constant Quality is a kind of x264 and x265 encoding mode to adjust the rate up and down to achieve the visual quality level rather than the specific data rate. Under the x264 and x265 encoding, you can set the values (Rate Factors) between 0 and 51, with the lower values delivering the higher quality, and high values resulting in more compression and lower quality.
