Total Video Audio Converter: Best Settings for High‑Quality Output

How to Use Total Video Audio Converter: Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Total Video Audio Converter (TVAC) is a straightforward tool for converting between video and audio formats, extracting audio, and preparing files for devices. This guide walks you through installing the program, performing common conversion tasks, and optimizing output quality.

1. Install and open TVAC

1. Download the installer from the official site or a trusted source and run it.
2. Follow on-screen prompts to install (choose installation folder, agree to terms).
3. Launch the application after installation completes.

2. Add files

1. Click Add File or drag-and-drop videos or audio files into the main window.
2. You can add multiple files for batch conversion.

3. Choose output format and profile

1. Open the Profile or Output Format dropdown.
2. Select the desired format (MP4, AVI, MKV, MP3, WAV, AAC, etc.).
3. For device-specific presets, choose the preset matching your device (iPhone, Android, PSP, etc.).

4. Adjust settings (optional)

1. Click Settings or Advanced to change codec, bitrate, sample rate, frame rate, resolution, or channels.
2. For audio extraction choose an audio codec (MP3, AAC, WAV) and set bitrate (128–320 kbps for MP3).
3. For video keep original quality by matching source resolution/bitrate, or reduce resolution/bitrate to save space.
4. Use two-pass encoding for better quality at lower bitrates (if available).

5. Trim, crop, or add effects (optional)

1. Use the Edit or Clip tools to trim start/end, crop frame, or add basic effects (brightness, contrast).
2. Preview edits in the player before applying.

6. Set output folder

1. Click Browse or Output Folder and choose where converted files will be saved.
2. Ensure enough disk space for the resulting files.

7. Start conversion

1. Click Convert, Start, or the equivalent button to begin.
2. Monitor progress; batch jobs will show a queue and individual progress bars.

8. Verify results

1. Open the output folder and play a converted file to confirm quality and settings.
2. If issues appear (sync problems, poor quality), re-open settings and adjust bitrate, codec, or frame rate, then reconvert.

9. Common tasks quick reference

• Extract audio from video: Add video → choose MP3/WAV profile → Convert.
• Convert for mobile: Choose device preset (e.g., iPhone MP4 H.264) → Convert.
• Reduce file size: Lower resolution and bitrate, use efficient codec (H.264/H.265).
• Preserve quality: Keep original resolution, higher bitrate, use lossless audio if needed.

10. Troubleshooting tips

• If conversion fails, reinstall or update TVAC and ensure source files aren’t corrupted.
• For unsupported formats, try remuxing or use a different input codec.
• If audio/video desync occurs, try changing container format (e.g., MP4 ↔ MKV) or re-encode audio with matching sample rate.
