'''MediaCoder''' is a [[Proprietary software|proprietary]] [[transcoding]] program for [[Microsoft Windows]], developed by Stanley Huang since 2005.
MediaCoder uses various [[open-source software|open-source]] (and several proprietary) audio and video [[codec]]s to transcode media files to different audio/video formats.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lifehacker.com/download-of-the-day-mediacoder-windows-207475|title=Download of the Day: MediaCoder (Windows)|last=Pash|first=Adam|work=[[Lifehacker]]|date=October 13, 2006|accessdate=May 4, 2019}}</ref> Common uses for the program include [[Data compression|compression]], file type conversion, {{not a typo|remuxing}} and extraction of audio from video files. Many formats are supported, including [[MP3]], [[Vorbis]], [[Opus (audio format)|Opus]], [[Advanced Audio Coding]] (AAC), [[Windows Media Audio]] (WMA), [[RealAudio]], [[WAV]], [[H.264/MPEG-4 AVC]], [[MPEG-4 Part 2]], [[MPEG-2]], [[Audio Video Interleave]] (AVI), [[Video CD]] and [[DVD-Video]].

While MediaCoder is supplied free of charge and fully functional as long as there is an internet connection available, it is supported by bundling the [[OpenCandy]] software recommendation service in its installer. This qualifies this application as [[nagware]]. After donating the user is supplied with an ID which must be entered and verified in the software. If the software is subsequently used without being connected to the internet the nags will reappear because the software randomly checks online whether the user has a valid ID unless a USB license dongle is purchased.
