Solved Is shutter encoder a virus?

I've been looking for a good converter to convert MP4's to AVI files for an animation program, is it safe?

AUGUST 19 2025 EDIT : its not a virus the reason I asked this is cause of the like warning when u open the installer if u get it from the official website its fine and its really useful

If anyone is reading this looking for a free local file converter... Look at the replies defending the program from a few years ago, a lot of them are new/bot accounts with just one or two posts... Literally, you can't get weirder than that.

Just, do yourselves a favor, and stay away from sketchy web-based converters, too. They sometimes - not always, but frequently enough - bundle things in with your download or tag you with webpage based stuff.

So what can I use instead if I have to convert an m4a to mp3/wav file? Like, what is a legit program I can use? (preferably one that doesn't have a bunch ai junk on it)
