SwiftMediaConverter
from Valcan Labs
Overview
SwiftMediaConverter is a software program developed by Valcan Labs. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named SwiftMediaConverterApp.exe. The setup package generally installs about 15 files and is usually about 31.2 MB (32,720,424 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 80% of users of SwiftMediaConverter come from the United States, it is also popular in Netherlands and United Kingdom.
