How can we help?

Quick fixes for common questions. You can also read the FAQ.

Installing VideoCrate

Download the installer from videocrate.app, open it and follow the steps. The installer is not yet digitally signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning — choose More info, then Run anyway, only if you downloaded it from videocrate.app.

A format or codec isn't available

Some codecs only work with certain formats. Try a different output format, or another codec for the one you need.

Remuxing isn't offered

Lossless remuxing needs the original streams to be compatible with the new container. If they aren't, use a normal conversion instead.

Conversion is slow or fails

H.265 and AV1 take longer to encode — try a lower preset or H.264. If a file won't convert, check it plays in another player first; it may be damaged.

Activating your Pro licence

In VideoCrate, choose to activate Pro and enter the licence key from your purchase email. Activation needs an internet connection.

"Device limit reached"

A Pro licence can be active on 2 PCs. Deactivate it in VideoCrate on a PC you no longer use, then activate on the new one.

My licence email hasn't arrived

Check your spam or junk folder. If it isn't there, email support with your checkout email address and PayPal transaction ID.

Payment questions

Payments are processed by PayPal. For any payment issue, email support with your PayPal transaction ID and we'll help.

I can't find my converted file

Open Conversion History to review previous conversions and locate your files.
