Convert Audio or Video Files into Playable EXE Files

When you create a video CD/DVD using Roxio DVD burner software, you can optionally choose to put a small video player that is launched automatically as soon as you insert the disk in your PC. This makes sure that even the people who do not have any media player installed in their computers are able to play the video CD or DVD. Now you can do a similar thing to individual audio or video files. You can convert them to EXE files that when executed start to play the original audio or video in your PC.

The free Audio/Video to Exe tool is able to convert the file formats of any media files as well as convert them into playable EXE files. To use any of these features, you have to first add the media files (audio or video) to the list in the Audio/Video to Exe tool. You can then choose to convert their file formats by clicking on checkmark button and then picking the options for the media format conversion.

The conversion to EXE might take a few seconds and after that you can open the destination folder to check the EXE file generated. The size of this EXE file is a little larger than the original file. In fact this EXE file contains the FFplay media player (from the FFmpeg open-source project) along with the original video/audio file and the code to extract & play them.
