  • Converting media files
    The Converter allows you to convert your media files to another file format.
  • The Copy DVD view
    The DVD Ripper allows you to save DVDs to your computer. This also works for copyprotected DVDs.
  • How to convert iTunes audio books
    The recommended method to convert protected or unprotected audiobooks is by using the virtual CD Writer. This method makes sure the audiobook is split into several sections.

Convert your media files:

  • Convert media files to a format compatible with a special playback device, e.g. an MP3 player.
  • Remove copy protection (e.g. DRM) from your music, videos and audio books.

How can I find out which output formats are supported by my playback devices?

External devices use preferred formats for playing back media files (e.g. AAC/M4A used by the iPod).

To find out which output formats are supported by your playback devices, or which formats work with those devices best, check the manufacturer's information.

Oceans XStream offers Conversion Presets which work well for the most popular devices.
