River Past Audio Converter Pro 7.7.9

River Past Audio Converter Pro 7.7.9 is a must-have tool for anyone who has to work a lot with audio files. It is actually an easy-to-use, fast, and powerful batch audio conversion and extractor software. It outputs AIF, AVI, MKA (Matroska Audio), MP3, OGG Vorbis, WAV or WMA.

With River Past MPEG-4 Booster Pack installed, you can output to M4A (MPEG-4 AAC audio), the format used by iTune and iPod. With MPEG-2 Booster Pack, you can convert to MPEG Audio layer-2.

It can convert from Dolby Digital AC-3, Apple AIF (AIFF/AIFC), Monkey audio APE, Unix AU, FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec), MP3 (MPEG Layer-3), M4A (MPEG-4 Audio), MKA (Matroska Audio), MPA (MPEG-1 Audio), MPC (MusePack/MPEG Plus), OFR (OptimFROG), OGG Vorbis, RealAudio RA/RAM, SD2 (Sound Designer 2), SND, TTA (The True Audio encoder), WAV and WMA (Windows Media Audio). It can also extract audio from mobile phone 3G video (3GPP/3GPP2), ASF (Advanced Streaming Format), AVI, VCD DAT, DivX, DV, IVF, MKV (Matroska Video), QuickTime MOV, MP4 (MPEG-4 video), MPG (MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 Video), RealMedia RM, OGM (OGG Media), DVD VOB, WMV (Windows Media Video) and XviD. This tool can also rip audio from DVD-Video chapters.

You have the full control over the codec, sample rate, channel, bits per sample, and bitrate settings. For WMA output, you can also choose from a list of Windows Media profiles.

Audio Converter Pro adds the ability to preview, trim clip, and to convert audio without re-encoding if possible. Tags are supported for MOV, WMA and MP3 formats. There is a built-in tag editor. Now, you have the ability to add a DirectShow decoding method (file reader, splitter, decoder) to expand the input file format support.

4. Batch Conversion - River Past Audio Converter is a batch converter. You can add a list of files, set the output format, and let it run. A well organized progress dialog will predict how long it takes to convert all the files, so you can do something else and come back when it finishes.
5. Pro version:
   • Start and End Time - We borrowed this feature from River Past Video Slice. You can set the start time and end time for your conversion, eliminating the need for an video editing software in a lot of cases.
     
   • Re-multiplex without re-encoding - Often, you just want to change the file type, so your favorite player software can play it. Your original file type already contains a encoded audio stream which is compatible with your output file type. Why re-encode? Re-encoding always causes some degrading of quality, no matter how good the codec is. Re-multiplex without re-encoding is the best way to keep the original quality, and it is superfast.
     
   • Select Audio Stream - When you convert from MKV or OGM files, you may have noticed that the file contains multiple audio streams. Audio Converter only convert the first stream. Video Cleaner Pro allows you to select the particular stream for the conversion.
     
   • Command Line Processing - Video Cleaner Pro provides the ability to convert audio in command line with a separate application.

Enhancements: Added command-line converter.
