Additional Information:
For VidConvert to use a Conversion Engine it needs to be named ffmpeg. It is also possible to compile your own (visit this site Here for a guide) or to use from another source, for any questions please contact Support. Also, although this is a one-time setup it's advised to repeat this process from time to time to always be updated. FFmpeg is a trademark of Fabrice Bellard.
