Far from being the one-task, limited video conversion tool that its name might imply, Joboshare PS3 Video Converter can not only re-encode your video files into MP4 (the preferred format for watching your videos on your PSP and PS3 consoles), but also to most of the most-used video codecs (such as MPEG, AVI, RM, and WMV). As a bonus, it will also allow you to extract the audio from any supported video file and save it in MP3, WAV, Ogg, or AC3, just to name a few.
Also unlike many other similar tools, in which “batch conversion capabilities” means that you can perform the same task, with the same settings, on an unlimited number of input files, PS3 Video Converter gives you “true batch conversion”. This means that it can queue up any number of conversion jobs regardless of the input and output formats, which can certainly vary from task to task. Besides, the changes made to the settings of a particular conversion job will only apply to that specific job, allowing you to truly customize each and every conversion task. Profiles can, of course, be saved, so that you can use the same settings with other files and other conversion processes.
The interface, complete with preview window and extensive information about the active media file, is well organized, and clearly laid out. The customization options offered cover all the main aspects of video and audio encoding, including bit rates, video size and zoom, frame rate, sample rate, number of audio channels, etc. An extra (and very useful) option will allow you to split the output media in as many files as needed, each of them with the size and the duration of your choice. To make things even easier for you, the long list of video and audio codecs supported are neatly grouped into different categories – one for PSP and PS3 video formats (MP4 and TS), one for other common video codecs, and another one for the audio formats available.
Joboshare PS3 Video Converter is an easy-to-use comprehensive tool that offers you much more than meets the eye. All in all, it can be described as an excellent combination of flexible and powerful functionality, good choice of media formats, and a high level of usability.
