A Free Video Converter For Converting AVIs To Mov

i just got a macbook and im having trouble playing avis in frontrow and i was wondering what converter/codec should i download

HI, Mike.
For complete information about viewing AVIs and DivX files on Mac OS X, including converting such to QuickTime, see my "Playing AVIs and DivX Files" FAQ.
You can investigate other solutions by searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Good luck!

  • Can i use nokia video manager for converting video...

    Can i use nokia video manager for converting videos will this support n79

    Only be aware that Nokia video tools only work for videos that are not longer than 35 minutes.
    Also the quality is not very good, you can get better results from other encoders.
    Lastly they are Really slow compared to other tools available.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

    who knows a free video downloader for mac?

    Fast!? I just tried using Any Video Recorder to convert a .ts video file to quicktime for watching on my mac. After running 4 hours it converted 14 seconds of video. That means it will take 42 days to encode my 1 hour TV show. Something is definately wrong.

  • Video Converter for wmv, avi, etc. on Mac Platform

    Does anyone know of a good converter for Mac to put wmv and avi videos (and a few other formats) onto an iPod? I've tried the Prism software that is listed in the downloads section of the Apple, but the video quality is spotty and the audio is always out of sync by 10 seconds or so.
    "Drag and drop" and "Add File to Library" doesn't work for a file that isn't mp4.
    I saw a recommendation for something called WinFF in another forum, but it talks about Windows and Ubuntu, not OS X or Leopard.
    Thanks.

    MPEG Streamclip - it's freeware.
    Note, though, that WMV files may require the paid Flip4Mac Player Pro plug-in for QuickTime to allow export to other file types.

  • What is a good, safe and free converter for converting csv flies into ofx or qfx flles

    I am considering to buy HomeBudget. However my bank only supplies CSV files. I need a good free and safe converter to convert csv files to ofx or qfx file format. Any advice? Thanks.

    bint
    The first place I would try asking is the HomeBudget Developer - http://www.anishu.com/contact.html
    This from the App Store looks like it will open and edit any file type > https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/csv-converter/id550840765?mt=12
    The top Google result sounds a little dubious = ONLINE conversion of MY bank data is NOT something I would do!!
    I will ask our Hosts to move your Question to the Yosemite forum where it may get more exposure that in Using ASC

  • Free video tutorials for logic pro 8?

    I recently purchased logic studio.I remember reading somewhere on the apple website that there were free video tutorials available for logic studio from the apple website.But I cant seem to find them anywhere.Does anyone know about this or how to access them.Thanks.

    Hi Kilmar. Don't know about the apple site, but as others have replied macprovideo.com have an excellent range. There are free downloadedable examples and some to watch on their site. The tutorials that come with V8 are only song files; not actual tutorials. I was looking for them too! There are also a couple of books from Apple pro training. Logic Pro 8 and Logic express 8 by David Nahmani. Also Logic Pro 8 Beyond the basics by David Dvorin. Both come with a DVD with 30 day version of expres and work files to go with the various topics described. I've got the Version 7 books and they are excellent. Version 8 won't be published until end of OCt and 1st week Nov in the US. In Australia, where I live, not until Feb 2008. {boring!] but they are available from US publishers. Let me know if you want more info. Hope this helps. Scorpii.

  • Xmas is Coming! Would You Like 50 FREE Video Tutorials for FCE/FCP?

    Ripple Training produce some excellent tutorials on CD.
    However, they also give away over 50 video tutorials for FCE/FCP.
    Many of them are for FCP BUT (most) also apply to FCE.
    They deal with each topic in a short and punchy style. I found them easy to follow and learned some useful quick tips.
    They are QT movies which can be downloaded so that you can use them whenever you want. (Allow about an hour to download them all - you have to do them one at a time). I found it quicker to download all of them (except for a few dealing with multi-camera work etc.) rather than viewing them on the website to sort them out.
    http://www.rippletraining.com/engine/free_tutorials.html
    Hope you find them as useful as I did.
    Ian.

    Just a couple of additional points for newcomers:-
    1. The estimation of an hour (or so) to download them all refers to Broadband (ADSL). Normal "Snailmail" internet will take around 10 hours!
    2. To download each lesson choose File>Save Page As. A window will appear saying it will be saved as a QuickTime Movie on the Desktop. Click Save.

  • Best video format for converting DVD to NAS for widely sharing

    Summary: The article shows you with an easy workaround for
    copying DVD to NAS for streaming by ripping DVD to NAS friendly video
    format on Mac and Windows
    I recently purchased a NAS to store all my music/photos etc on. I
    can stream stuff to my iPhone/iPad using the NAS software. What I want
    to do is rip all my DVDs (over 400) to my NAS, but I’m not sure which
    format to do it in, to play nice with my Apple TV2, Xbox 360, iPhone,
    iPad etc. I wanna get some advice as to what format to rip in and what
    software to use?
    Learn some tips from online, I got know that to copy dozens of DVD movies to NAS,
    you need to get the content off the DVD disc as a protection-free and
    easily readable element for NAS. In this case, at the first place
    powerful third-party software for backup DVD to NAS is what you need.
    There are many, many DVD ripping tools on the market. I’ve tired a pile of them.
    Brorsoft DVD Ripper
    is the best one I’ve tried yet. It is capable of ripping DVD to MP4,
    AVI, MKV for NAS streaming with no quality loss; it also enables you to
    copy DVD main movies for backup onto NAS in .vob format. And what I’ve
    learned is that MP4 would be one best target format for it is fully
    compatible with nearly all media devices including iPad, iPhone, PS3,
    Apple TV, etc. If you are running on Mac OS X, turn to  DVD Ripper for Mac. If you haven’t got the software, download it now and let’s start the conversion.
    Ripping and copying DVDs to NAS
    1. Launch the DVD ripping program for NAS devices . Then
    click "Load DVD" to import the DVD files you want to convert. To select
    the subtitles you like, simply click Subtitle and select the one you
    prefer. P.S. Before start the conversion, you can choose to backup DVD mian movies.
    2. Click Format bar and choose your desired format. To store
    hundreds of DVD's on NAS, you can rip DVD to .mp4, or .avi, .mkv, etc
    compressed format. And click Settings bar, you can adjust the level of
    compression to suit the quality you want.
    Tip: If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the
    video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. Keep in mind
    the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution
    which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible
    quality loss, and vice versa.
    3. Press the "Convert" button to start ripping DVD for NAS streaming.
    After the conversion, click Open button to find the output files.
    Make sure the wireless network connection is accessible among the NAS
    and Apple TV, PS3, HD TV or other media players. Then just enjoy the
    high quality DVD movies anywhere anytime.

    I've always found encoding with Handbrake and choosing the Apple TV2 preset is an excellent place to start and video encoded using that preset will work on my iPhone 4, 4S and iPad 2. 
    If the files encoded using that preset are too big for one's taste they can always encoded at a lower average bit rate rather than using the default 'Constant Quality' of 20.
    Later on I'm sure the Handbrake group will have an AppleTV '3' preset supporting the 1080p format supported by the ATV3 and iPad '3' but using such a preset would not create a file usable on the iPad 2 or the iPhones.
