Quick AVI Creator (QAC) is a FREEWARE, easy to use front-end, which uses several GNU licensed applications to convert video from DVD / MPEG / AVI / MKV /MP4 sources, to AVI / MKV / MP4 containers by using either XviD or x264 encoders.
Supported up to 2 audio tracks with formats AC3 / DTS / PCM / MPEG / WMA / AAC / OGG either for converting or direct copying according to the provided source and the desired output.
Supported up to 1 subtitle track, either internal DVD, MP4 and MKV subtitles or external text subtitles with formats Subripper (srt), MicroDVD (sub), Sub Station Alpha (ssa/ass) and VobSub ripped subtitles (idx-sub).
The extra goal of the Quick AVI Creator is the absolute tuning of the output. To accomplish this goal, QAC uses AvsP which is the main difference between Quick AVI Creator and other video conversion front-ends.
Therefore you have the full control of the generated Avisynth script, thus you take advantage of every feature that the Avisynth offers. You will be able to preview the output, trim, resize, deinterlace, if necessary, modify the frame rate, or add Avisynth filters (such as denoise).
System Requirements
Obviously a proper decoding filter for decompressing AVI, DivX, XviD, etc. should be installed.
Even if you already have one, my suggestion is ffdshow which has been tested and verified that QAC works smoothly with this.
Supported Windows 2000 and above versions. Windows 7 not tested though.
At least a Power User account is required. (Admin account is recommended).
Certain programs so called "Internet Security suites", may need to be trained in order to allow certain background activities when QAC launching the several included applications (tools).
