AVI to Mpeg4 converter

What software can I use to make AVI files to MPEG4 so they can be watched on Apple TV or Ipad. I have a high def video camera so I want to keep the high quality.

Try using MPEG Streamclip.

AVI to MOV converter

Any1 knows a good avi to mov converter that is free of charge??

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.

what makes you thinking that?
avi is just a media-container, a 'wrapper', no format, no codec.
depending on what codec(s) are in use, iDVD or other DVD-creator-apps can transcode 'out of the box'.
teaching the Quicktime-engine new codecs is done by the free tool www.perian.org
if your files need conversion, the free tool Mpeg Streamclip is highly recommended.
paying licences is only needed, when wmv is in use - Microsoft likes to get paid, if you use its proprietary codecs outside Windows (flip4mac is a MS-owned company).
most $$ converters on the market are based upon the free ffmpeg-library, so you pay for a nice GUI, some one-click-convenience. but the free tools, mentioned above, do same ...

Exporting avi to mpeg4 for ipod

my problem is similar to some previously stated. When I open my a vi it plays the whole thing fine. When I export to mpeg4 though it produces a file that will not open in quick time or anything else and isn't and mpeg4. When I split the movie into 2 halfs of the original, it works. Why can't quick time export a movie longer than 17 minutes?

Drag the files into the open iTunes window and then convert them. Some AVI files cannot be played in iTunes and you may lose the sound upon conversion; if either happens, use Perian and MPEG Streamclip respectively.

I have a .avi to mpeg4 still not working

I converted a .avi to an mpeg4 file with quicktime pro, and it's still not working!! After a long disturbing process their was no results. On quicktime when i play this file(which is now an mpeg4 file) it shows a blank screen with audio from its original file which was fine, although still no picture. Please reply, im in desprete help, thanks so much

could you explain me more about "muxed" I dont quitly understand its concept.
Not really much more to expalain. Early video formats had a problem keeping the audio and video information in sync. On solution was to intersperse the audio and video information as blocks of data on the same track/in the same stream of data. In that way one form of data could not "overrun" the other and become "out of sync." This can still be a problem with some converter applications if the wrong settings or wrong intermediate formats are used during conversion. The converter application must separate the audio and video data into separate streams and temporatily store them on separate tracks of an "intermediate" file type. This intermediate file is then used as the source file for the final target file format. An intermediate file is used in order to eliminate the problems associated with compression schemes which use differing data rates and/or bit depths which can cause one stream of information to become physically longer than the other when the data is merged into a single file.

Are there any converter or codec/plugin for Edius Captured Avi to be converted into Quicktime?

I have some avi files caputred on Edius. But I work on FCP 7. They do not play on fcp or premier cs6. I tried looking up discussions online, didn't get much help there. Is there a way to convert these AVIs to an .mov files so I can edit on fcp? I don't have access to a windows PC or the original mini dv tapes. I believe the footage was shot in HDV/ PAL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to import two AVI video files & convert to one FLV ?

Status:
- Newbie using PC & Flash CS3 ver9l
- I can import a single AVI video file and convert it to an FLV video.
Problem:
- I have two AVI video files... one 4GB (20 minute) long and one 2GB (10 minute) long... and want to combine them to have a single 30 minute long FLV video file.
Question:
- Can I do this in Flash? When I "convert" a single AVI video to a FLV using the File, Import method... I can't really see the video on the Flash time line. I'm a newbie so I'm probably doing something wrong.
- I tried doing a File, Import for file-1.avi and then doing it for file-2.avi... but the two were on top of each other... and not end to end.
Maybe some kind sould will walk me through this.
Thanks for any help.

Your not going to be able to combine two videos as one in flash, if your using Win try Win Movie Maker, I believe you can drag both into a WMVM timeline and can then save as one file, then you can use AVC video converter or the like to encode them into an .flv or.f4v file.

AVi to Flash converter

Can anyone recommend a cheap, preferably free, conversion app
to convert my
.avi files to flash video or swf ( not quite sure what the
differences are ,
could do with enlightening).
I wish now I had taken the Macromedia u/g to studio offer
that they put out
before Adobe got their hands on DW, now the u/g to studio is
way beyond what
I can justify, plus I'm hoping that Photoshop get some
integration with DW
and FW replaces ImageReady in the next version.
TIA
Hywel Harris

I'm so sorry - I've just been looking and although I didn't
see a price
(they certainly make it difficult to find) I'll take your
word for it.
Sorry Hywel - any chance of upgrading to DW8?

Using Seagate Goflex hard drive to play AVI movies without converting?

Hi, I have bought a Seagate Goflex satellite hard drive, I would like to store my AVI movies on it and then play them on my iPad 2. I have tried various ways, is it absolutely necessary to convert them to iPad format first?
I know I can use various apps to watch AVI movies that are transferred to my iPad using i tunes but I would like to know if there is an app that will allow me to watch AVI movies from my Seagate hard drive as I don't want to use all my space on my iPad for movies, hence the purchase of the hard drive.
Help???

I BOUGHT PQI AIRBANK + AND HELP ME TO USE WITHOUT CONVERTING MOVIES. WICH APP CAN PLAY WITHOUT CONVERT. I BOUGHT ALSO BUZZPLAYER AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SET UP.
PLEASE ANY HELP

Avi to flv converter?

Hi, I've been trolling the internet for a 100% free video converter, not something that's freeware/shareware but requires a license. I have a big need to convert my avi's and mp4's into flv so that they don't eat up as much of my sites bandwidth a month. Can anyone recommend something 100% free, I just laid out the cash I had on final cut so paying for more software isn't idea at this point and time.

in addition to David's excellent advice... :
flv is just a container; it became famous due to YouTubes success; but YT used the old-fashioned VP6 video-codec for compression; since Flash10, flv allows latest h264 inside (Davids advice); actually, YT offers h264 encoded material and actually converts to html5/no flv ...
but you'll notice actually a 'switch', away from flv to html5, e.g. most mobile-devices (smartphones from Nokia, LG etc, Blackberry, iPhone, iPad) don't support this 'power eating format', and turn to more elegant and much faster/smaller html5/< video > tag + h264 ...
it's all about compatibility and market shares
.. flv isn't perhaps not future-proof ...

Generate AVI files. Convert in AVI from MOV. QUICKTIME PRO??

Hi,
First of all, I'd like to ask you an apology if my problem has been solved in another post, but I couldn't find it.
I have an AVI file and I’d like to add the subs (srt file) My idea was to open the AVI file with a program, to add the file and finally to generate a new AVI file with the subs included.
I had the wrong idea that with Quicktime I could make that, but after several intentions I have realized that I haven’t the Quicktime Pro, what I have is Quicktime X and with this version is not possible to generate an AVI file the way I need.
I have read a few posts about the differences between Quicktime 7 Pro and Quicktime X, and before thinking in buy the Quicktime 7 Pro license, I want to know if it will make what I want.
I also need to convert a MOV file into an AVI file or another smaller which I could share by email. I prefer AVI format because all users (MAC & WINDOWS) can play it.
I am not sure if the Quicktime 7 Pro is the better solution for me. Maybe you know another program which I can get what I need.
Thank you in advance, best regards.

If you are also running the 3ivX codec module and the movie is a DivX AVI, then you you may need to run the file through 3ivX's DivX Doctor II. This utility updates DivX .avi videos to 3ivX QT (.mov) videos. (This assumes other files still play correctly with audio.)
http://www.3ivx.com/divxdoctor/
"After the conversion you will be able to play the video smoothly, and the audio glitches inherent in the AVI format will be fixed" -- according to the 3ivX site.

Can't open some .AVI - How to convert .AVI to .MOV?

Hello
I've got a bunch of AVI clips that I need to convert to .MOV for film scoring purposes in Digital Performer 5.
QTPro won't open these AVIs, how can I still convert them to MOV? Is there any way?
Thanks
Chris

Thanks so much for the great advice, I downloaded mpeg streamclip and I have been playing around with converting my video.
There are many different options and I have tried a few but the quality of the picture is slightly pixelated. Can you advise me about the best option to use to get the best quality picture.
I want to be able to edit it in imovie, so I was exporting it to quicktime but there are many other options which would you recommend?
When I exported it to quicktime I tried the following options
I have tried compression -
Apple motion jpeg A
png - sound played but picture was frozen and didn't play
Tiff - same thing as png
but there is an endless list and I'm not sure what it all means.
There are also many different frame sizes, I use (4:3) in imovie but it also had a 320 x 240 unscaled I'm not sure what this means?
Are there any other options/boxes I should be altering/checking?
Sorry for asking so many questions.
I'm not really very familiar with all these terms, it's a completely new language to me.
Any advice would be really appreciated
Thanks again for helping me out : )

AVI to AVCHD convert

Hello All,
I would like to use Elements to convert very large AVI clips to the smaller AVCHD clips. But I don't want to do them one at a time. Is there a way to mantain the clips and save all the AVI clips to AVCHD clips with elements?
Thanks,
Sean

Before I moved to PRE I was using "Magix Movies on DVD'". I kept it installed for a few nice features that PRE doesn't have:
Batch Processing
Saving each object as a single clip (i.e. I use its splitter tool to make multiple scenes - I can then save each scene (losslessly if to same format) to a separate file. This saves me all the hassle of using PRE one segment at a time with the Work Area Bar (so tedious !).
The version I use was v7, bundled with the Magix Rescue you Videotapes v1. It has some nice features - including several from their Audio Cleaning Lab product (an amazingly cheap but essential product for cleaning audio tracks for your projects).
There are a shedload of other conversion programs around. For example I have the following installed:
[EDIT: writing this post has shown I have way too many , so I've stopped at the letter 'F', I must check'em all and remove ones I no longer use ].
Aimersoft Video Converter Pro
Aiseesoft Total Video Converter
Any Video Converter
ConvertVID
Corel Video Studio Pro
Digiarty Winx HD Video Converter
Easy Videosplitter
Free HD Converter
etc.. etc... etc...

Avi to FLV converting using Flash 8

I'm trying to convert an avi file that works perfectly to a
FLV file using Macromedia Flash 8.
The info for the avi file is the following:
Codec: a52
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 256 kb/s
The FLV file is trying to converted to the following:
Video Codec: On2 VP6
Audio Codec: MPEG Layer III (MP3)
Audio data rate: 96 kbps (Stereo)
After convertion the video looks fine but there is no audio.
I tried selecting another audio codec on Flash 8 but the only
codec showing is MPEG Layer III (MP3). And its gray out. No option
to select something else.
Do I need to install another codec so I can listen to the
audio after converting?
Thanks.

I think your avi is encoded at MPEG1 and it needs to be MPEG2
for the audio to not get dropped during the conversion. I use
VideoRedo to convert the avi files, and you can also try SUPER
converter or AutoGK to do it as well.

WMV-to-avi/mp4/3gp converter on the phone?

I am looking for a Symbian converter that willl turn WMV files into S60v3 playable files, e.g. 3gp, mp4 or avi.
What I have found is a whole range of apps which convert on the pc and then you transfer the file to the phone, but what I would need is a converter in the phone.
Is there anything like that?

Hi rolanda:
be sure to understand that .avi files are just containers and not just one type of file. Please read what Dan Slagle says here and be certain to click on to all of his links:
