ConverterLite is intended for media conversion. In this regard, it supports different types of media files, such as audio, video, CD or DVD, both as input or output. Many times, developers neglect such an important aspect as visual design and focus solely on extending their programs capabilities. However, at first sight an application is as good as it seems, and some users will not even give it a try if they do not like the interface or if it does not make them feel comfortable. Within a market section too crowded with different types of converters, ConverterLite excels because of its design. In this respect, the choice of a minimalist interface perfectly matches this program’s name and its purpose. In addition, it provides the user with a feeling of easiness while making the application looks robust.
Now, the next question we should ask ourselves is: will this good first impression remain after we get to know this application better? Luckily, after using this ConverterLite for a while, I still kept the same initial feeling. Let us see some of the advantages that support this opinion. First, all the operations have been carefully compartmentalized, so you will not feel overwhelmed and wondering what to do next at any time. Second, choosing the target format has been made easier by allowing two selection modes. The easiest way will consist in choosing one of the device names, which will guarantee that the target format will be supported by the selected gadget. The more complex way will consist in picking a target format and then providing additional configuration parameters, which allows almost unlimited customization. Third, you will not have to convert files one by one since this program supports batch conversion. Unluckily, you will not be able to specify individual conversion parameters to the files. Another disadvantage is that it will not allow you to edit files before actually converting them.
To conclude, ConverterLite will definitely please you if you love simplicity, but remember that this simple interface hides some powerful algorithms that will enable converting between practically all popular media formats.
