Settings

Set the Opus audio bitrate per channel. If set to "Custom", the Opus audio codec supports up to 256 kbit/s per channel with a recommended range of ≥64 kbps.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.

xvid

Xvid is an open-source video codec that implements the MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile standard, developed and maintained by volunteer programmers under the GNU GPL license. The project originated in 2001 as a fork of the OpenDivX codebase after DivX, Inc. closed the source of their codec, and the original name is DivX spelled backwards as a nod to this history. Xvid achieved widespread adoption in the early-to-mid 2000s as a free alternative to the commercial DivX codec, offering comparable or sometimes superior compression quality without any licensing costs. The codec excels at compressing full-length video into remarkably small files while preserving good visual quality, using techniques such as adaptive quantization, quarter-pixel motion compensation, global and local motion estimation, and custom quantization matrices. Xvid-encoded video is typically stored in AVI containers, though it can also be wrapped in MKV, MP4, and other formats. The codec gained certification for playback on many standalone DVD players and media devices that supported DivX playback, since both codecs share the underlying MPEG-4 ASP standard. Cross-platform availability covering Windows, Linux, macOS, and other operating systems, combined with a completely free and open-source nature, made Xvid a cornerstone of community-driven video encoding. While H.264 and newer codecs have largely replaced MPEG-4 ASP for new encoding, Xvid remains in use for compatibility with older hardware and in legacy media collections.

opus

Opus is a versatile, open audio codec standardized by the IETF as RFC 6716 in 2012. It fuses two coding approaches — SILK for speech and CELT for music — into one algorithm that blends between them based on content type and bitrate. This hybrid design lets Opus outperform virtually every other codec across a wide range of uses: low-latency voice at 6 kbps, high-fidelity music at 128 kbps, and everything in between. It supports bitrates from 6 to 510 kbps, sample rates up to 48 kHz, and frame sizes as small as 2.5 ms, giving it the lowest algorithmic latency of any mainstream audio codec. Three advantages make Opus especially compelling. It is completely royalty-free and open-source, removing licensing barriers that hold back proprietary codecs. It achieves transparent quality at roughly half the bitrate of MP3 and beats AAC at equivalent rates. And its low latency makes it the mandatory codec for WebRTC, so every modern browser ships with an Opus decoder. WhatsApp, Discord, Zoom, and YouTube all rely on Opus for real-time audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert XVID to OPUS?

XVID, an older open-source MPEG-4 codec, can be hard to play across platforms. Switching to OPUS gives you the modern real-time communication standard.

How do I open an OPUS file?

Use VLC, Firefox, Chrome, or foobar2000 to open OPUS. These tools recognize the format out of the box on most systems.

Can I adjust the output bitrate?

Yes — set the desired bitrate before converting. Lower bitrates produce smaller files, while higher bitrates preserve more audio detail.

How long does the conversion take?

Conversion speed depends on the XVID file size and chosen quality settings. Most files process within seconds to a couple of minutes.

What devices can play OPUS?

OPUS playback requires compatible software on your desktop or laptop. Check the recommended apps above to find the right player for your system.
