Converting AVI to MP4 for FREE

Does anyone have a FREE program that can convert AVI (as well as other formats) to MP4, for my iPod Touch?

Hi,
look here http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22923/perian
But if your signature is correct, it is of no use for you on a Windows PC, as it is Mac-only.
As for Windows (and/or Mac OSX as well) have a look at MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html

How to I convert MTS to .MOV for free?

I have MTS files that I wish to edit in iMovie and they are unrecognizable. MPEG streamclip also doesn't recognize them.
Help?

Hi Paul
I am currently using a panasonic SD90 (again a basic camcorder for my learning curve on filming) and my next buy is a Canon XA10. I have started filming on iframe (and it downloads great) but if I take any pics then it automatically reverts back to AVCHD which is a nuisance and Apple tell me that I would have to download the pics first and then reset it to iframe for it to stay in ifame but at least I understand the process now it has been explained to me.
I must say that I took out one to one and it has been worth every penny as it allows me to go into far more detail than the standard workshops. The staff have been great and very patient.
I am currently researching watermarking my film and photos for my next lession as from what I understand, goggle are saying that you have to either register or watermark your work or they will claim rights to it...I may be wrong but that is my current understanding of things.
I have downloaded iwatermark (again free) just to see how I get on with the interface and it is fine so far. I am very much a visual learner and once I am confidant I will look to purchase something that is pro level and easy to use.

Converting .m4v to .mov for NLEs

I have been given an .m4v video file that was created on a Mac with Final Cut Pro. I need to edit the file on my PC; I can play the file in QuickTime 7 Player on the PC but cannot import the file into any of my editing programs (Avid Media Composer v3, Adobe Premiere CS3, After Effects CS3) nor any of my conversion software (Sorensen Squeeze v5, etc.). So, I upgraded to QuickTime Pro figuring I should be able to use it to convert the file to a .mov or some other more "standard" format. I have tried every flavor of .mov (uncompressed, Avid DV Codec, etc.) and other file types as well (.avi, etc.) but everything I export fails to import into my editing applications.
Does anybody have any advice for either directly importing an .m4v in Avid or using QuickTime Pro to convert to a format I can then import? Thanks.

Does anyone know how I can batch convert them into .mov files?
No actual conversion is required unless you actually wish to re-compress the files. A bigger question would be whether or not the files contain AC3, chapter, and/or caption tracks. If so, then use QT Pro ($30) to first delete the extraneous data tracks and then use the "Save As..." option to save the H.264/AAC data tracks to an MOV file container. (NOTE: QT Pro can "parallel" process your files but not batch process them -- i.e., you can open a second, third, fourth, etc. file and start work on them while other files are being saved.)
If the MP4 or M4V file only containes H.264/AAC or MPEG-4/AAC tracks, then you can use MPEG Streamclip (free) to batch process them. Simply open the "Batch List" window, drop one or more files to the "Batch List" window, select the "Save As" option, make sure you do not select "Join" files in the next window, designate a target location for the new files, and press the "Go" button when the files are listed to the "Batch List" window.

As has been explained many time before in this forum, AVI is a file container—not a compression format. What you can do with the AVI file depends on what kind of data is stored in the AVI container. For instance, QT X v10.3, QT X v10.4 and QL under Mavericks and Yosemite only play AVI files containing Motion JPEG video along with any supported form of compressed audio like linear PCM. Any other combination of compressed audio and video combination in this file container would would either be unsupported by the AVFoundation in the latest operating systems or force a conversion—i.e., the AVFoundation would pass the file on to the Modernizer routines to see if the content can be converted to a file containing compressed data that is QT compatible.
Depending on the type of compressed data contained in the AVI and the codec support installed on your system, the Modernizer will either terminate its conversion attempt and report that it can't convert the file or it will pass the file on to the Convert routine for conversion. For instance, a common DivX/MP3 AVI file would probably not be converted on a recent operating system with only native codec support. However, if the system has the Perian (or similar) codec package installed, then the Modernizer would recognize that Perian (or other) codec support was available and pass the file on to the Convert routine for a successful conversion. Unfortunately, there are some exceptions. For instance, files containing DTS audio are usually trapped by the Modernizer if Perian is not present but are passed on to the Convert module if it is present since Perian contains DTS codec support. Unfortunately, this support is not compatible with the Convert routine under the two latest versions of Mac OS X and ends up creating an "empty" audio track.
If this is the cause of the problem in your case, then the solution is simple, use a third-party converter as was already mentioned. I would recommend any that use the FFmpeg package for codec support. Many such utilities are available. My personal preference would be the free HandBrake app which includes many presets for the novice user, as well as, advanced features for the prosumer or professional user making customized conversions of specific content and/or for a specific targeted use and can retain chapters, multichannel audio, and/or subtitles (if available in/to the original file) in an anamorphic or non-anamorphic rendering using the basic GUI and/or line-oriented settings. (I.e., properly used, this is a very powerful utility.)

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 : )

Audio failure on converting AVI to Mov files using quicktime pro

I have used quicktime pro for some time to convert avi files to mov files etc for importing into itunes and ipod. However this week all of a sudden the audio fails on exactly 3 minutes and 28 seconds, and does not pick up again. I have not installed anything during that period which would cause this and i'm totally lost.

Do you have Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.

Watch The New James Bond Movie For Free

The reelz channel is offering their risk free movie offer once again where their offer is that if you rent a movie that they are recommending and if you do not like it they will refund you the amount that you paid for the on demand rental. The offer is until march 24, 2013 and the movie that they are guaranteeing that you will love is the new james bond movie "skyfall" with daniel craig. Now it does not matter who your tv provider is so long as you rent it on demand. Verizon currently offers skyfall in hd for $5.99 or $4.99 in sd. The movie is also available in spanish in the zona latina area in their on demand in the cine hollywood section. The skyfall in spanish movie is in sd only. The reelz channel just did this 3 months ago with men in black 3 and that animated movie called "brave" so it appears that every 3 months now there will be a watch a movie and if you do not like it the movie is free offer from reelz. The website for that reelz deal is www.reelz.com/riskfree.

The rights to James bond films have been acquired by sky from October so I guess that iTunes lost the right to sell them. If you look on iTunes now all bond films are only available to rent. You can still keep previous purchases and if you have lost it just search through you account purchases for the ref number and contact apple. I did this with the world is not enough and apple sorted a redownload for me. But as they're no longer available to buy they won't be on iCloud.

Online movie for free

I wanna watch a movie online for free on my IPad 2. I tried many websites but nothing actually works! Can someone pls help me with this? How do I watch a movie online for free on my iPad?

If your cable provider has an app that allows you to stream content to your iPad, that is really the only way you can do what you're trying to do. Of course, this really isn't free anyway, because you have to subscribe to that cable service in order to do this.
In the U.S., HBO GO, Xfinity Play, ABC, NBC, TNT, TBS and others have apps that you can watch streaming content in and some apps (Xfinity Play) allow you to download some movies and TV shows to your device to watch offline.
You are most likely trying to watch Flash content on the iPad and as stated above, that does not work on an iOS device.
