Any good video converter programs?

i was wondering if anyone knew of any good video converting programs to convert from different file formats, such as .mov to mp4, avi to mpeg, etc., where u can specify the final outputted file size. for example, ive used handbrake to convert my dvd's for my ipod and it allowed me to specify how big i wanted the video file to be at the end. is there anything like this, but not for dvd's? thanks for any help!

it's a funny name.
I want to thank you for using that screen name. makes me giggle every time you post.
Compressor really is a powerful application and can create beautiful files. But you really need to know what you're doing or you can adjust the wrong setting and create something really ugly.
QuickTime Pro is a little more user friendly. Not as many options, but it can do quite a bit.
Sorenson Squeeze is another good one. I used to use it all the time on the PC, but since I've figured out Compressor, I rarely open it.

    I have tried many converters.. but the best one is the Videora IPOD Converter which is exclusively for Ipod Video and you need not take any pain in selecting the ouput format.. as its only for Ipod video. It is a simple but powerful converter.

  • What is a good video converter for iMac?  Premiere 6 will not capture from the Canon VIXIA HF G20.

    What is a good video converter for iMac?  Premiere 6 will not capture from the Canon VIXIA HF G20.

    Rather than convert, you'd be better off capturing with a more current version of the program -- one that supports AVCHD video. Otherwise, you're in for a lot of headache. A converter isn't going to solve your problems.
    BTW, when you say Premiere 6, do you mean Premiere 6 -- which is over 10 years old? (There was no Premiere Elements 6.)
    Trust me on this: Capture with a Mac version of Premiere Elements 11 or 12 and your video will be perfectly compatible with any Mac program.

  • Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

    Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

    This comes up a lot these days.
    Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100),  Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent),  find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd  party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
    The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
    Good luck.

  • Best video converter program

    Can comeone tell me the best program to use to convert your videos? I tried videora and it gave my computer a huge virus and the whole thing crashed. I have also heard that quicktime pro 7 takes a long time and is better for mac users? Any other suggestions to my ongoing struggle with converting videos?

    Samething happened to me , got a virus from videroa and my mose diddn't work. but anyway try total video converter. Its free for 15 days , so convert all of the videos you want to go to the ipod before times up. :-P
    And if you are trying to find a good free Video converter , good luck becuase I doubt it...

  • Who knows of a good video converter from Real Media Player to mp4

    I have downloaded an open source video converter (HandBrake) but the images are not that clear.
    Could you suggest another software to get to convert better images from *.rm to *.mp4?
    Or can I use that same software? Any suggestions of how to improve them?
    Thank you,
    Dr. Rosie

    Hi Nijenhuis,
    I checked it in a Website, will give it a try as you suggest. I have an additional question: How good are the images with this conversion?
    Thank you,

  • Good Video Converter For Mac

    Whats the best free video converter? I was using iSquint but videos just werent comming out right.
    anyone else have any suggestions?

    Well here are a few to try:
    handbreak I use and I like, it is more for ripping DVD's but it can convert

    MPEG Streamclip this is not a program that is for making ipod video's but there is a setting for it, you have lots of control over the settings if that is what you want. If you are not sure of settings it could be alittle overwhelming.

  • IPod Video Converter Programs

    Hi,
    This doesn't really pertain to the optical drive nor a Macbook really but, I was wondering if there were any free video converters that convert movie files to an iPod/iPhone compatible format. For example iSquint (http://www.isquint.org/) is great, but although it is free it only converts maximum like 5% of the film clip. I'm looking for something more along the lines of Quicktime 7 Pro (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/) which exports edited clips to various formats (including iPod/iPhone). Remember, I would like free programs, possible anything under $9.99. Thank you!

    thealexness,
    Really, you have answered your own question, even if not to your liking :-P
    Quicktime Pro is the answer. Yes, it's more than "$9.99," but not that much more ($30). For your $30, you get absolutely the most bang for the buck that you will ever get from any software purchase. In addition to the transcoding abilities that come with QTP, you also get many cool playback features: Full-screen playback, A/V control panels (for slowing things down or speeding them up, live color/tint/brightness correction, etc., etc.)... the list goes on and on.
    There's simply nothing better, or anywhere near as flexible.

  • Is there any official video converter for itunes?

    Guys, i have an old videos with 3gp, wmv, and flv format. I wanna put it in my iphone but i can't even put it in to itunes. As far as i know, itunes have a auto converter but the latest one did not. Please advice and thanks before..

    iTunes supports only mov, m4v and mp4 formats.  You will have to use a third party software to convert other formats into mp4 or m4v.
    You may consider a Free version of Any Video converter.  You can download from here:

  • A good video rip program

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a good DVD ripping program that can produce MPEG-4 I have a program called Magic DVD Ripper, but it is slow and can't do MPEG-4 then again it was free so it does a decent job for backup (as long as you have a day to set aside, and lots of HDD space).

    No it doesn't
    You will need to use Videora or Videora Lite

  • Video - Converting Programs for Mac

    hi..
    i just need a FREE program that will convert my existing videos
    into that in which my ipod will recognize..
    thankyou

    What you installed is a QT component from Flip4Mac. It allows QT Pro or other applications that tap into the QT Tools package to export and/or transcode WMV files. Unfortunately, Flip4Mac wants about $50 for you to register the component and gain full use of these routines. This is about 2 and a half times what I think it is worth, so I don't use it. Best bet is to either try to find the music videos in another format (like MPEG1) or see if there is another program that will convert WMV to a format (like AVI or MPEG1) which iSquint can handle. Since I don't use WMV, I have never looked for such a Mac application, but perhaps other readers have and can post their recommendations here.

  • What is a good video converter - from .mov to .avi

    I've tried researching this topic and I've seen a lot of partially helpful info.  I'll try to be specific.  I'm using a MBP with OS X, and iMovie '09 (version 8.0.6).  I'm trying to convert my edited .mov files to either .avi or .wmv files so i can embed them into a powerpoint presentation for PC.  I am not trying to rip DVDs.  These are interview I filmed myself.  I need a decent (free or inexpensive) converter to do this.  I have tried Handbrake and i only get .mp4 as an format option.  I've also tried MPEG StreamClip but when it converts there is no audio.  I don't mind paying a few bucks to have a good converter, but i want one that will do the job.  Any help or opinions are greatly appreciated!

    For .wmv, you can use Flip4Mac. http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm
    A potentially free solution is to use regular iMovie h.264 files (.m4v) and be sure to install QuickTime for Windows on the Windows PC.
    If you need to distribute the PPT to multiple PCs, I would go for Flip4Mac.
    To the best of my knowledge, purchasing Flip4Mac gives you the components and codec you would need. Then you do the actual conversion in QuickTime Pro. MPEG Streacmlip might work, but I'm not certain. Worth trying since it is free.
