4.4.4 Miro Video Converter


The Miro Video Converter was developed as an offshoot of the Miro Media Player
(http://www.getmiro.com), an innovative open-source audio and video player
available for all common operating systems. The Miro Video Converter is only
available for Windows and Mac OS. Figure 4.5 shows the simple user interface,
which offers selection not only by video codec but also by device (iPad, iPhone,
PlayStation, and Android phones).

Load the video file via drag and drop, and FFmpeg starts the conversion. If FFm-
peg should fail for any reason (which can occasionally happen), the FFmpeg
Output button can help: Apart from the exact commands, it also shows all con-
version status messages (see Figure 4.6). A quick Google search for the relevant
error message will usually help you.
