Aunsoft AVCHD Video Converter for Mac

I have a Panasonic SD 700 which can shoot in a 50p mode; as FCP doesn't support this I just shoot 1080i. However I read this ad/ review for Aunsoft which suggests that I would have better results by using their software to make my 50p material ok for FCP. My instinct tells me all it's doing is converting it to 1080i.
Has anyone used this software to edit 50p material? Or can advise, eg is it converting to 1080i but using a much higher bitrate so the quality is better than the camcorders native 1080i?

Call it what you will : Aunsoft, Aimersoft, iSkysoft, Moyea, Pavtube, Wonderhare etc its all the same or clones of the same dubious software ... but if branding the same app with a dozen different names in order to swamp the market was not bad enough, whats worse is the methods by which it is promoted ie not by unique and original recommendations by hundreds of satisfied users (as is the case with ClipWrap) but instead by seemingly openly and unashamedly employing the use of paid spammers (not genuinely satisfied users) to spread the word.
Are you a genuinely satisfied user or one of the latter "butter1093"?  You who have turned up here out of the blue to add to your sparse history of posts always seemingly on this same subject ie to recommend one or other of these apps.

  • Any experience with Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac

    I have a Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera, and I am unable to download my High Definition movies from the camera to my Mac.  I have tested out the Aunsoft Video Converter.  Is this the best programme?
    I can also get this bundled with a DVD ripper.  Will this work on my Mac, and can it convert or rip foreign DVDs (actually PAL but formatted for UK)?

    I am using some Aunsoft programs. Hope my information helps somehow.
    The Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac is a nice program. I usually use it to convert my videos (AVCHD .mts format) that shot with my Panasonic camcorder to the Apple ProRes format for editing in Final Cut Pro X. Sometimes I also convert differnt videos to the MOV or MP4 format to watch on my idevices (iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, Macbook). The converter program worked nicely.
    It seems your Panasonic Lumix FZ100 camera also shoots video in the AVCHD (.mts) format. If you want to convert your video footages with Aunsoft converter you need firstly transfer the video files from your camera to Mac using the USB cable that comes along with your camera. Then load the videos from your computer into the video converter. The .mov 

  • AVC - Any Video Converter for Mac

    Hello,
    I've been in search of a "complete" replacement for (now discontinued) VisualHub for converting "many"
    video formats to the ones I use most frequently (DV, DVD, iTunes to name just 3).
    Today, I found "Any Video Converter for Mac"
    <http://www.any-video-converter.com/mac-software.php> but want to see if there are other Mac users out there, uh, using it. It's shareware: $44.95, so I'd like to know if it's worth the money b4 plunking down that much cash.
    Anybody here who has a "review" on this app would be helpful.

    Brie,
    Just the 3-minute clip length on the demo. This prevents testing it on full length videos when the original cannot be edited "natively" by Mac OSX. That is, when you have a five minute clip in .wmv format, no editing means the clip can't be snipped to less then 3 minutes for testing with AVC.
    The obvious: Flip4Mac can be used for this but that's another $29.95 (or more- it's tier priced based on editing capabilities) on top of the $44.95 for the AVC app.
    The other thing which caused me to ask for reviews by users of the paid version is that some formats required downloading additional codecs from the developer of AVC. I know from experience that installing codecs "willy-nilly" can lead to system instability. So it's either pay for the version of Flip4Mac which can edit the wmv type files or take a chance that the additional codec from the developer will let me edit a longer than 3-min. wmv file (with the aforementioned risk).
    This is a relatively new developer, and I am not an early adopter. Logically, I thought there might be one of those early adopters out there who could point the way for the rest of us (video editors). The obvious goal: making more video stock available for use in iMovie projects.

  • IPhone Video Converter for MAC

    I have been looking everywhere and can't find a free iPhone Video Converter for the Mac. There is one but it is for windows.

    Depends on the format you are converting -- Handbrake started as a Mac app (although it's also available for Windows) and is excellent.

  • Is it safe to download a "free" youtube video converter for MAC and if so, which one is recommended?

    Is it safe to download a "free" Youtube video converter (Ex. "freemake.com") for MAC or is there a better program recommended to convert these videos to DVD?  Thanks!

    Youtube's ToU specifically state that downloads of any content is prohibited unless there is a download button available for a particular video.

  • What is the best, safest MXF video converter for mac?

    I need to view MXF video files on my macbook pro. Wondering if anyone knows what is the best video converter to use for these files?

    Hi, I just got one recommended to you. It is iOrgSoft Video Mate. It can convert camcorder footages like MXF, AVCHD, MTS, XAVC, MOD, etc to regular video formats like MP4, MOV, 3GP, etc. I usually it to convert AVCHD files from my Sony cam. I think it works fine for me. You can have a try using it to convert MXF files.

  • Best Video Converter (for Mac) For Use With CS5

    I need a good converter for a Mac Pro so that I can easily bring in AVI i
    nto CS5.
    Thanks.

    What sort of "AVI" are you talking about? An AVI is just a container/box/dufflebag for all sorts of stuff; Macs and QuickTime will handle a number of codecs stored in an AVI container, but not everything. So ultimately, a Mac converter might not do you any good if there isn't a decoder available for the Mac. For example, Lagarith and Ut are two popular lossless codecs that write to AVIs, but there are no decoders for Mac, so the AVIs are unusable there.
    Another thing to consider is that, in all likelihood, if a converter can open up the AVI on the Mac, then Premiere will be able to import it without any other necessary changes. Get MediaInfo to analyze the file and discover what is inside of it. Once you know that, we can make better recommendations about how to treat the file.

    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.

  • Video Converter for Mac & the iPhone

    I have videos that need to be converted to be able to play on my iPhone. Where can I get a free simple program that does this?

    Really? The iTunes will do it for me? How? Last time I tried, I dragged and dropped. The video played but wouldn't transfer to my iPhone because it wasn't the right iPhone format.
    UPDATE
    Actually I just tried to drag a .avi file and it wouldn't snap to iTunes. I tried to drag a .mp4 and it had the + green icon to add. How do I add the .avi and convert it in iTunes?

  • Best Video Converter for Mac

    I have downloaded quite a few avi or divx from & would like to convert to view in my new AppleTV. Any recommendation?
    I am currently using iSquint which is free but it is slow - 700mb avi movie for high quality H.264 for TV takes around 2-3 hours! And the quality is still not as good as the original avi?
    Is it something to do with my setting or is there a better converter out there?

    Handbrake is good for converting DVDs, VisualHub is good for converting files from other formats to something playable on the AppleTV, and if you're looking for something to accelerate encoding times I'd take a look at the Elgato Turbo.264 hardware encoder. I purchased one of these a few months back and have been very happy with the conversion speeds and quality.

  • 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 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.

  • Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac

    After talking with a bunch of salesmen (considering getting a DvD writer), I took the advice of someone in the Apple Store and bought a Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac to copy my laserdiscs. It was $100 before tax, and didn't do stuff I don't plan on doing anyway. I did spend another $25 to get an S-video cable.
    I installed the software and connected it up to my LD. I started capturing the movie, and selected S-Video (although in the small window they showed, I didn't see any difference between that and video out. I selected a max time from a limited selection, and let it record.
    After a while, I went downstairs and saw that the audio and video were not synchronized at all. I let it continue.
    After a while I came down again, and the movie was finished, so I stopped it. I found the MP4 - it was in the iTunes movie directory, and played it in iTunes. I fast-forwarded it to near the end, the voice and video were way off-set.
    I haven't tried burning this yet.
    Quicktime player doesn't think this is a valid movie file. I selected "open with" and "other" and the recommended applications had iMovie greyed out.
    Why in the world would the audio and video record at different speeds?
    Do I have to buy software to edit the movie down to the correct size?
    My Mac has:
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac7,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
    SMC Version: 1.21f4
    I noticed the Pinacle Video Capture program was still running, so I tried to quit it, and got a window asking for my administrator ID and passsword to allow Pinnacle Video Capture to make changes. Why?

    The audio drifted out of sync because the Dazzle doesn't support locked audio. For short videos (say, under 10 minutes) this won't be very noticeable but when you capture longer videos it becomes progressively worse over time.
    What do you want to do with your Laserdisk copies? Watch them on your iPod? Edit and/or burn to DVD?
    A device like the Canopus ADVC-110 will do the video/audio conversion properly, keeping the audio and video in sync regardless of the length of your video. It converts to DV, not to MP4, and you would use it with iMovie or Final Cut (not iTunes). However you can export your video from iMovie or Final Cut to iPod/AppleTV formats.
    The Dazzle device will not work directly with iMovie or Final Cut.
    ps. If all you really want to do is transfer your Laserdisc videos to DVDs, it will be a whole lot faster & simpler to get a DVD player/recorder that has analog inputs and record directly to DVDs. There are many brands & models to choose from and many good ones are as inexpensive as the $100 you spent on the Pinnacle converter.

  • Opinions of iSkysoft iMedia Converter for Mac?

    Looking for a solid, versatile movie converter app that I can use with iMovie. I have use several "free" apps, with varying degrees of satisfaction. iSkysoft iMedia Converter for Mac SEEMS to be very good, but I'm not finding a lot reviews of the Mac version. Can anyone:
    1) Offer opinions of this product, or
    2) Suggest good alternatives

    Yes, you have to convert your files to QuickTime first.  That's because your camcorder records MPEG2 clips (from your other discussion thread)  You have to do the conversion no matter what.
    MPEG Streamclip has a batch convert option that enables you to convert more than one file at a time.
    But merging the clips in MPEG Streamclip or iSkysoft is not particularly useful if it doesn't work properly (out of sync audio, bad video quality ...)
