CyberLink Media Espresso 6

Do you want to be able to view your favorite photos, songs and video clips not only on your PC, but also on your MP3 player, portable game console or iPad? Then you are forced to convert the files to the correct formats. Thanks to CyberLink Media Espresso 6, it's a piece of cake. You can even instantly publish your media to YouTube or Facebook.

When you first start the program, you will notice that the interface is not only very sleek, but also intuitive. It is child's play to import media. You can enter one or more files or entire folders via the Import Media¬ button, but it is even more convenient to drag/drop. You don't have to worry about the number of file formats. CyberLink Media Espresso 6 can handle almost all popular video formats. In terms of audio files and images, the program is limited to wma, mp3 and m4a and bmp, jpg and png respectively. Perhaps that will expand in the future, as Media Espresso could not convert audio and images at all in its previous versions.

The interface is sleek and clear.

Also rip audio

One of the strongest assets of CyberLink Media Espresso is that the program offers support for a huge number of mobile devices from different brands. The package is suitable for all kinds of recent types of mobile phones from Apple, BlackBerry, Nokia, HTC, LG, Samsung, and so on. In addition, there is also support for MP3 players from Apple, Microsoft and Sony, and game consoles such as Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PSP. Even for the brand new iPhone 4 and iPad, you can use Media Espresso 6.

While converting, you may find that you can simply mix the files together to convert (for example) four images, three movies, and sixteen music tracks into the appropriate format in one go. You can even specify whether you want to rip the video files to an audio format as well. In addition, it is possible to automatically improve the image quality via the TrueTheater AutoLight and TrueTheater Denoise functions.

Choose device, specify format and select file location... Done!

Facebook and YouTube

In addition to the ability to convert for specific mobile devices, CyberLink Media Espresso 6 can publish your video files to YouTube directly from the program. Do you have a Facebook profile? Select the photos you wish to publish on your profile page and then choose which Facebook photo album the images should be stored in. You can add another description and set the privacy options. You can also publish video files on Facebook.

You can of course also use this program to create your own conversion profiles. For example, you can convert your video files into H.264 or DivX format in no time at all. You can then set the resolution, aspect ratio and bitrate completely yourself. Saving profiles allows you to reuse them for other files in the future.

Publishing photos or video clips on Facebook is a piece of cake.

Conclusion

CyberLink Media Espresso 6 is a very user-friendly and versatile converter program. The possibilities are very extensive and the conversions happen - partly through hardware acceleration - super fast. In addition, being able to convert different file types at the same time is a strong asset.
