Converting to AVI

I'm having trouble converting a 3 minute program to an AVI. I'm using quicktime conversion from the drop down menu, AVI, best settings/millions of colors, 48 khz, stero sound. the program converts for about 2 minutes, but when i play it back it onlys actually has converted an AVI movie that's 3 seconds long. this has been unsuccessful on two computers. any suggestions?

make sure you have not marked an in and out point on your sequence ... when you export it will only export the entire timeline if no in and out are set

  • Problem converting long AVI to MOV

    I am trying to convert one hour AVI file into a MOV format using Quicktime
    PRO on a PC.If I try and convert a short AVI video of less than 5 minutes I
    can can convert it and change the settings of both Video and Audio to suit
    my specification.If however I try and convert a longer AVI say one hour I
    can only set the video characteristics but NO audio at all.The audio
    settings area is greyed out and not changeable.
    My question is this.Is it possible to convert a long AVI video (say 1 hour)
    to a MOV format in Quicktime PRO on a PC and still be able to set the audio
    to the required specification?
    Thanks Stu
    P.S im using QT Pro 7.3

    If the audio settings in the export dialog can't be adjusted then the audio codec used in the file isn't supported by QuickTime Pro export.
    MPEG-1 is playback only.
    MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert your AVI with MPEG-1 audio.
    http://perian.org can also help QuickTime Pro with some codecs used in AVI's.

  • Convert large AVI files to MPEG4 with PE11 to reduce size

    I have a lot of large AVI files from captured VHS tapes. Computer hard disk is full. Should I convert large AVI files to MPEG4 using PE11 to reduce file size? In the future, can I import MPEG4 into PE11 for video projects? I don't want to delete the AVI file until I know I can work with MPEG4.

    uberjaeger,
    My next objective will be to learn PE11 so I can edit the video.

  • Convert DV AVI to DV MOV and retain timecode

    How can I convert a DV AVI created on Windows to something that Final Cut understands? I can import the AVI directly into FCP, but I lose the timecode and I need to render it. I can convert the AVI to MOV, but I lose the timecode information in the file. Any recommendations on what software can do what I need? I have tried MPEG Streamclip and QT Pro. I can record to raw .dv files if needed. It also needs to be a lossless conversion - just basically looking to change the wrapper so that FCP understands the file.

    I guess the biggest issue is that if my TC does not match what is on tape then I can't imagine trying to get the footage re-captured from tape if the file gets corrupted or deleted. I already know the answer to that - "be sure to always back up your data". Yes, but for us the video tape is the backup. File gets deleted? No problem. Right click, batch capture, insert tape, wait the capture time, done. If I don't have matching TC then I would need to backup all of our footage daily, which is out of the question due to the amount of footage we have and the cost associated with that.
    I know how to assign new TC to a clip, but without a painstaking process of manually looking for a good sync point on the clip and the tape to find what TC I need to manually put in I don't know a better/faster way.
    Capturing in FCP of course is not a problem. TC remains what it should be, all is well there.
    I have not looked into Live Capture Plus, but I really need something for PCs due to cost of Mac hardware.

  • How do I batch convert separate avi files in Premiere Elements 11 to separate mp4 files

    How do I batch convert separate avi files to separate mp4 files

    For batch conversions, I use DigitalMedia Converter by Deskshare. My version is an older one (2.7), and there is a newer version, in two flavors, "regular" and "pro." I do not recall what limit on number of files is, but have had about 10 in the conversion queue. The newer version, and especially the Pro version, has probably expanded the number of files in the queue, but I could not quickly find what that max number is. While not opensource freeware, my copy was only about US$40. I was so impressed, that I bought two licenses - one for each of my editing computers. I have been meaning to upgrade to the new Pro version, but as old 2.7 works for what I need to do, just have not gotten around to it.
    Now, Premiere Pro can do batch conversions too, through the AME (Adobe Media Encoder), but that would be a much, much more expensive solution.
    I am certain that there are other conversion programs (some might also be free), that can do batch conversions, and with the H.264 CODEC for your MP4 output.
    One caveat: if your AVI files are SD (Standard Def), you will NOT be pleased if you convert to MP4 in HD (High Def), as there will be up-rezzing, and the results will not be pretty. If you need to up-rez to HD, when using SD material, you might want to look into something like Red Giant's Magic Bullet Instant HD. Many users have been impressed by its up-rezzing capabilities, though some have not.
    Also, I think that Corel's video editor has an up-rezzing capability, but have never used it, so cannot comment directly - might be great, or not so great.
    Good luck,

  • Converting HDTV .avi to mp4

    I've been using VisualHub to convert HDTV .avi files for my ATV. The video converts, but I lose the 5.1 audio and only get stereo. I think this is a limitation of VisualHub.
    Is there another converter that will retain the surround audio?
    Thanks in advance.

    the last version of visualhub supports 5.1 (there is even a seperate appletv preset for 5.1)

  • HT204382 I want to convert an .avi movie to a format where I can cut a DVD. I have OS X lion operating system

    I want to convert an .ave movie to be able to create a dvd. What software do I need?      Thanks

    Thanks Kappy, this helped. I was able to convert the .avi file to mp4 making it possible to view the movie. However, I was unable to burn it.  I downloaded a program called express burn from prism and was able to burn the .avi file to a dvd .vob. format.
    If you are using a 4gb dvd you may have to change the setting to medium quality depending on the movie size. Hope this helps.

  • Converting uncompressed AVI files for FCP?

    I recently had 30 reels of old 8mm film footage from the 50's and 60's converted to digital and I now have a hard drive with all of the footage converted to uncompressed AVI files.  These are extremley large files as one 2 minute and 38 second clip is 4.45 gigs. 
    I want to bring them into Final Cut Pro to edit them but retain as much quality and picture as I can.  I am going to use Mpeg Streamclip to convert the AVI files to quicktime Mov. files but what compression setting and frame size should I use when converting them to Mov. files for best results?  As far as frame size, should I use 648 X 486 4:3 aspect ratio or 720 X 486 unscaled?
    Thanks in advance for any advice. 

    Given the material, standard ProRes or even ProRes LT (if you have FCP v7) is fine.
    ProRes HQ is intended for 35mm film out and/or 2k video. It is a waste of file space and processing overhead for your purposes.

  • How can I convert an .AVI movie file to get it into i-movie for editing?

    I have downloaded the VLC media player which will open and play the .AVI files from a video camera (RCA Small wonder high def digital camcorder EZ229HD). Now I need to be able to convert these movies (which will only open and play after dragging them to the desktop) to import into i-movie so they can be edited. Anyone know how to do this? The phone support at MAC help said they really can't do any third party stuff so I do not know what to download, purchase, or even if this is possible. Can't imagine a format that won't work with a MAC! Please help. Thank you! Need these for a project.

    Use Handbrake.
    You can download it for free from this site:

    Considerations for the long life of your Macbook Air. Handling and environmental care tips
    Don’t use your MacBook Air on the beadspread or pillow
    Do not place your MacBook on a pillow or other soft material when it's powered on, as the material can block the airflow vents (in particular, the rear vents) and cause the computer to overheat. Never place anything over your keyboard when operating in closed-lid (clamshell) mode. This can cause your computer to cycle on and off, which might create excessive heat and drain your battery. Use a lapdesk if you want or plan on using your Macbook on your bed or couch, or in your lap.
    Use of your notebook on a mattress or pillow blocks your notebook from circulating air as it needs to, and can lead to overheating rapidly

  • I am trying to convert some avi's to mp4 to enable usage with apple tv and imovie.  I have used three different software, two paid and 1 free (Skysoft, Total Converter and Handbrake) but conversion stops at 4:57 minutes.

    My computer information:  Mac (27-inch) 3 TB fusion drive, Late 2013, Procesor:3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory:16 GB 1600 MHz,  Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB, Operating system: Yosemite OS X 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.6, iMovie 10.0.6, Quick Time Player 10.4, ITunes 12.0.1, VLC Version 2.1.5 Rincewind (Intel 64bit)
    I have a large number of AVI home video files that need to be converted to MP4's.  All software I have used (iSkysoft Video Converter- paid version, Total Video Converter - paid version and Handbrake - free version) have done the same thing:  the conversion starts but part way through stops and the result is an MP3 clip of exactly 4:57 minutes.  I have been working with Skysoft support with no success.  The firs attempt was with Total Video Converter.  My second attempt was with iSkysoft Video Converter trial version and it converted entire length of video but of course with watermark.  The paid version then started having the short conversion problem.  I just purchased the computer and am new to Macs. 

    Thank you for your suggestions.  The Handbrake version I have is as follows: Version 0.10.0 x86_64 (2014112200) and I am not sure what website I downloaded it from  The fact the the same problem occurs with multiple softwares makes me think it is something on my computer, a setting or something, but I have no idea what or where to look.
    I will definitely check out iFlicks and let you know.
    Thanks
