No checkbox to keep the original resolution (but can be had in the target).

No same as source option for the audio sample rate, no auto option for the bitrate.

Let’s find it out!Īs the name implies, XMR is an AV converter ( aka re-encoder or transcoder) for the most widespread, widely supported, user-friendly, modern formats, includes convenient profiles for popular mobile devices from the brands, viz., Apple, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc., and implements subtitles, chapters, and the other options.

On top of that, if you have an antivirus like Symantec Endpoint Protection, you may not feel lucky with VidCoder as it turns out the latest stable 64 bit portable version of VidCoder (2.62) is not allowed by Symantec (the app cannot even be launched). XMR may work for you better or worse, or as a good alternative. Oh well, VidCoder is great, but within its own limitations. Thus, you may ask why XMedia Recode (XMR) when VidCoder is basically capable of doing the same job. Some time ago, I had reviewed VidCoder (click here) giving it two thumbs up as the easy-to-use portable freeware offers audio/video (AV) conversions supporting myriad formats, video editing and customizations.
