Fx MPEG Writer is a tool for creating new movies of various digital video formats from a given source movie. Supported input source file types include properly formatted Windows Media, AVI and MPEG movies for which you have valid read and write codecs. In the free version files can be saved to MPEG-1 and AVI while, due to the patent holder's licensing restrictions, MPEG-2 output is supported in the full version only.

Please note that this tool will not convert copy protected movies or movies for which you do not have an appropriate license.

At it's simplest, Fx MPEG Writer requires only that you select a valid input file; indicate the path and file name of your target file and then, using the preset default properties, select a file type (MPEG-1, VCD, SVCD or DVD).
