AVI to MOV? Any good compression tools?

I need to convert about 100GB of AVI with embedded Canopus Codecs to MOVs so they can be compatible with Final Cut Pro. They wont open by themselves in FCP for some reason. Anybody have advice on software that converts AVI to MOV with out loss of quality?

If it is a proprietry Canopus Codec, I think it is likely that you will need to use a Canopus software product to create a suitable mov file. If the file is a more generally available Codec we use Autodesk Cleaner for file conversion. This takes most formats, except wmv, for input and can output a number of formats and Codecs (including wmv). It is getting a bit long in the tooth now, but still works well for us.
Incidently I am currently doing wmv files on a PC with the Ulead software that came with the DVD burner. It does an OK job and since most of the source is game play footage from various computer games and is often less than perfect to begin with it is usually adequate.

  • Are there any good black box testing tools for j2me?

    Is there any good testing tools available for testing software on physical mobile devices?
    I would like to partially replace manual testing with automated testing using a test tool. It should work on physical devices, and with the help of a script it should be possible to execute predefined sequences of button pressings on the device. Preferably there should also be some way of deciding whether the test was a succes without having to do so entirely manually.
    The purpose with this would be to make it easier to go through the test protocols, which has to be done before every new software release.
    Deviceanywhere.com looks promising at first glance but it is rather costly. Still, does anyone have an opinion of it?
    Does anyone has experience of Mobile junit for this kind of testing? Is it possible to define series of physical button pressings with it? At first glance it doesn't seem so.

  • HT2729 What video formats (avi, MPEG, MOV, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without adding some kind of converter?  Any?  how?

    What video formats (avi, mpeg, mov, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without any video converter?  Are there any?  How come quick time wont let me play a MPEG?  When you google this question, al the answers make me download some converter (VLC, etc.)

    What video formats (avi, mpeg, mov, etc.) are "playable" on MacBook without any video converter?  Are there any?
    Depends on what compressed data is in the AVI, MPEG, or MOV file container. E.g., assuming you are using the QT X v10.2 player listed in your hardware profile, a "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 MPEG file will probably play correctly but an MPEG-2/MP2 or MPEG-2/PCM MPEG file may be problematic. In a similar manner, a Motion-JPEG/WAV AVI file probably won't play the video but play the audio while a DV audio/video AVI file will probably still play correctly.
    How come quick time wont let me play a MPEG?
    Agian, it depends on what you mean by an MPEG file here. A "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 file in an MPEG, MPG, TS, or MOV file container should play correctly while the same data in a VOB file container will neither load nor play. Further, this file is not only playback compatible with the QT X v10.2 player but is now conversion compatible to H.264/AAC MOV files on my system which was a surprise to me. On the other hand, if the MPEG file contains MPEG-2 video muxed with MP2 audio (a common PC compression combination), the file will likely have audio/video sync problems and/or freeze up entirely. However, this latter file plays back correctly and without problem in QT 7 with the Apple QT MPEG-2 playback component installed. (For the moment I assume the new support capabilities, as well as, the latest audio problems here may be associated with the system audio upgrades begun in Lion and completed in Moutain Lion.)
    When you google this question, al the answers make me download some converter (VLC, etc.)
    QT is in the process of being totally re-written. Unfortunately, the addition of new capabilities comes at the expense of making the "new" QT structure less and less compatible with legacy compression formats and file containers and likely signals the eventual end of QT 7 and its "Pro" capabilities in favor of higher definition, more efficient compression technologies.

    iDVD is vastly superior, especially for movies.

    Does MPEG Streamclip do what you want? Note that AVI is a container, not a file format; the audio and video parts of it may be encoded with any codec.

  • Exporting HD to AVI or Mov

    Hi there
    We have produced a movie in HD (PAL 1440 x 1080 , 25 frame p/s) .. running CS4, all good so far!
    We are needing to get it to Eurosport on a digibeta tape, in Standard Definition 720x576.
    We have a local guy who can convert from either AVI or MOV (prefers from HD) to the required format for Eurosport..
    However we are having issues converting to either AVI or MOV:
    1/ CS4 cannot seem to convert to AVI or Mov in HD PAL 1440 x 1080.. first prob
    2/ ...so we thought why not just export to AVI Standard Definition 720x576 but find it distorts the graphics, photos and text captions ...   Video and audio is fine
    We also tryed exporting as a MPEG2 (1440 x 1080 , 25 frame p/s) and converting to AVI via Streamclip .. created a very large file (which is ok..) but the audio quality was bad, and when playing it seems to skip a frame (not sure if this is just how it plays on my machine...??)
    Most likely our settings... but after many hours google searching hasn't quite got us the answer :-)
    Welcome any suggestions ..
    Thanks ..

  • Artifacts in Using Save As for AVI to MOV Conversion?

    When I SAVE AS a compressed avi file to mov, I am seeing artifacts (they look like interlacing errors) in the final mov file, vs the same frames in the .avi file.  Can I avoid this somehow?  The avi file was compressed with the BlackMagic Intensity code (I think it's motion jpg too).
    The file sizes are the same.
    Bummer, I bought Quicktime Pro just for this.  Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Can anyone here tell me why two duplicate laptops treat the avi-to-mov conversion so differently and why I must export at 480p?
    As to QT playback, either the codec component configuration is different on each system or the the AVI file contains a legacy video codec that is turned on for system "A" but left off for system "B" but which is included in the Perian bundle installed on system "B." With reguard to the forced conversion rather than a simple "Save As..." action, please confirm the video codec name given in the "Inspector" window for each system. I suspect that either the video codec is different on each system or that the Perian version of the same codec with a different name may be forcing the "Export" conversion.

  • 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.

  • How do I convert MP4 file to AVI or MOV using MacBook Pro (2010)

    I am 10.6.4 new user on a new MacBook Pro. This is my first Mac computer.
    I want to convert a MP4 video file to AVI or MOV file type. How would I do this on my new Mac? Documentation says I have Quicktime X, but I cannot find Quicktime X on my system. When I try to load Quicktime 7 Pro, my system says I have Quicktime X and cannot load Pro. Apple websites say Pro version will allow me to convert the MP4 files. Anyone have any experience or ideas on what I should do? How do I find Quicktime X? Will it do the conversion for me? Thanks

    Use MPEG Streamclip, or open the QuickTime Player from the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, installing this software if needed.
