Because ffmpeg allows transcoding on the fly and supports multiple streaming protocols such as rtmp, rtsp, http, ftp, hls, you can use it to stream to services such as twitch.tv or set up your own streaming solution. You can use both local realtime recordings or another stream as a source, transcode it if necessary, and output it to a different stream. ffmpeg -i rtmp://server/live/originalStream -c:a copy -c:v libx264 -vpre slow -f flv rtmp://server/live/h264Stream See More
VLC is a media player first and foremost. There is no library management (aside from playlists), limited usage of tags, and no rating system. VLC is best at playing a file directly from a folder, but falls behind when it comes to helping you manage or find good songs in your music library. See More
Yes. Lightest. Even better than the ones known to be light. Both when playing music, only a single song or when playing a video. Either in terms of Ram and Cpu. Compared with almost all, including the ones from Windows like mpc-hc .. or light ones from Linux like Alsa Player, Audacious, SmPlayer . See More
There is no "pass thru" option when doing conversions, also there is no lossless option for audio when working in the video or HD video profile categories. Oddly enough there are lossless conversion options if you use the audio category, but this will output a separate file from the video. Depending on the video container you use and it's capabilities, users can do separate conversions and then mux the lossless audio and video output files later with other 3rd party applications if lossless quality is that important. In that case, this application would not be as convenient compared to other software, while it can do 1:1 copies, other software are more dedicated to this purpose and have more options in this regard.

Default profile options generally have most fields filled with "smart fit" option by default. This is essentially mirroring the source media as closely as possible, so you get a high-quality conversion with a mild (probably not noticeable) loss in quality. Custom profiles can be made. There seems to be no lossless or pass-thru options for generic video or hd video profiles though. See More
Video Converter Ultimate has great categories of profiles, some are generic video formats, generic audio formats, device specific formats including some virtual reality headsets which I have not seen before in other software, formats for editing in popular video editors, generic hd video formats, and for sharing over the web or for popular video sharing websites.

The Freemake Video Converter logo is watermarked on the video and also adds a splash screen to the start and ending of a video. Any IAP will remove the branding at $20 for a one-time fee or a $9 monthly subscription. Look under menu > help to find the IAP options and to purchase if you are so inclined. See More
Currently there are three in app purchase ( IAP) options. All three offer a choice to subscribe monthly at $9 /mo or a one-time unlimited purchase at $19. All IAPs remove the freemake branding and splash screen at beginning end of outputted videos, but the other features that are unlocked differ. Remove branding features: faster video conversion; automatic video backup; exclusive dvd menus; black bars removal. Gold pack features: faster video conversion: black bars removal; video projects auto-save; videos branding removed. Subtitles pack: add subtitles to movies; change subtitles font; edit subtitles size; remove freemake branding. So, if you wanted ALL features of the app and opt for single pay rather than the subscription model, you would need to pony up $60. Look under "help" to find the IAP options and to purchase if you are so inclined. See More
