Device recognition
Converting videos for devices such as smartphones and tablets is quick and easy: all you need to do is connect the device and the program will suggest the recommended format and resolution for it.
Step 1: Add files
Drag the files you want to convert onto the converter window.
Step 2: Connect the device
Connect the smartphone or tablet to your computer using a USB cord.
Step 3: Confirm the device
1. Once the device is recognized, a dialog box will appear with the device name and the recommended preset. Check that the device name matches your device. If the dialog box doesn't appear, click the Device Detection button to the right of the search bar.
2. If the device is correct, click Use These Settings to use the recommended output format, resolution, and other parameters.
Several devices are listed
Sometimes, the device detection box shows a list of several devices. This can happen if you have more than one connected device, or with some devices that are very similar and can't be identified precisely. In this case, open the Choose your device list and select the device model that you want to convert for. Then, click Use These Settings to use the recommended format, resolution, and other settings.
