Video Encoder Free 1.2.0.0
Compressing the videos to make their size on disk smaller without affecting the clip length or rescaling them to a better resolution can be done effortlessly from a Windows Phone handset that has Video Encoder Free installed.
Practical appearance made for ease of use
The application offers a tidy appearance, with practicality at its core, as all the commands and functions you will need when operating the utility are conveniently placed for ease of access.
On large displays, like the 6.0" screen of a Nokia Lumia 1520, some elements of the GUI are not displayed properly and the resolution field overlaps a bit the file size input box.
There is another constant source of discontent that is represented by the advertisement banners, which keep on changing in the lower part of the main screen.
Choose the input file and output location
This utility is able to receive input from the local storage, so you will have to transfer from the Camera Roll or other albums any clips you want to process. The SD card is also a possible source and Video Encoder Free can even look inside the OneDrive folders.
In case you want to record a fresh clip on the spot and have it processed with this application, go ahead and tap the "Camera" button from the main menu when browsing for clips to add.
The supported formats are AVI and MP4 and you can pick any destination location on the phone or SD card storage. An option at your disposal is to keep the output in the same folder as the source file.
Simple configuration and fast processing
As soon as the video is loaded and queued for encoding, you can set the required output parameters by selecting the desired resolution or specifying the desired file size.
Video Encoder Free is able to handle all resolutions from 144p video quality up to 1080p Full HD resolutions and the processing speed is quite decent, so you will definitely not be wasting time waiting for the operation to complete.
As soon as the process is complete, you can play the output video from inside the app, by tapping the dedicated button placed next to the saved file. Note that there are no playback controls, so you can only stop the playback by pressing the "Back" button that brings you back inside Video Encoder Free.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The looks of the application fail to impress and the advertisement banners stuck to the bottom of the screen spoil the experience a bit. |
Function8
The utility offers a neat way of converting videos to higher or lower resolutions and file sizes, but it could use more options regarding the output. |
Security10
Very discreet while running and without needing to look inside any sensitive area of the system, the app is safe to have installed. |
Battery6
Video Encoder Free takes up a substantial amount of energy from the battery, as its power consumption reaches high levels. |
Price9
The features are all provided free of costs, but there are some bothersome advertisements inside the app that can only be removed after making a payment. |
Compatibility8
The utility can only be tried out on Windows Phone devices powered by at least version 8.1 of the operating system. |
