Anyone know of any "SAFE" audio video converter software?

Spelled Audio wrong in the title maybe an admin can help with that LoL sorry was posting off of my phone


So far the audio video converter software I've come across is PuP riddled or outright has malware in it. Does anyone know of software that is safe that they've tested themselves when it comes to converting audio/video into different formats? My Pops is is an audiophile and he loves messing around with audio video. I just need simple malware free software that does the job with conversions... I was about to install windows 7 for him so I can run rogue software sandboxed but hopefully someone knows some good SW I can install for him?

I would suggest anything downloaded to be tested at VirusTotal, prior to opening.

Yeah i've downloaded a few and ran through virustotal and they all come back dirty. The ones I've tested so far anyway. I'll give these three a go... See what happens. So these three are strictly all online converters I see. I think he was looking for installed software which seems extremely had to find for whatever reason. At least software that is clean.

Not what you are asking about, but these are great to add....

X Media Recode will do the work. Portable version is also available.

If I recall correctly there are free versions in Linux. If u find them then just install a vm with a basic Linux Ubuntu would do. Handbrake I think works on windows too. Handbrake is a multithreaded video transcoder.

For Linux only winff which is the ffmpeg gui version

Right now I have him using slimjet protected with appguard. Which does work so far with the settings I have setup for him. He keeps getting malware so appguard is something he desperately needs on lockdown mode. I basically take care of his computer b/c he has no idea what he's doing this is the third time in the past 6 months I've had to disinfect his comp... Kind of getting to be a PITA lol. Trying to teach him on how to keep his machine safe but he's retired and well you know how it goes

Thankyou so much for the input guys much appreciated I'm not really into audio video myself, I do PS and AE gfx design so never really dove into converters: I use adobe media encoder for my needs, but he's all about converting his old records and what not into digital media as well as downloading youtube videos and converting them. Thanks again and if anyone else has more input please feel free to drop more suggestions going to have him try x media recode. And Ill set him up an ubuntu vm tomorrow when I'm over my parents house. He was using a youtube downloader infested with malware lol. As you can imagine my frustration b/c I just cleaned the machine a month ago or so
