Creative Vision:M, best video conversion program(freeware or softwar

I recently got a creative vision:m and love it, but i cannot figure out whether or not my recently purchased "23 Copy DVD Gold Edition" software is worth the fifty bucks i had to pay. Does anyone know of online freeware etc that works well and produces good quality video conversion (esp. from .mp4 to .avi etc.). I know there is a free converter that comes with the program but when i tried it the videos played slightly choppy on my vision:m. When i used .avi format, there was no such problem. Thanks

Problem apparently solved: Last night, I downloaded and installed the free program, SUPER. My husband has not had a problem so far; been working beautifully! Ravenquille

  • Video Conversion Programs

    Hi all.  I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with a video conversion program called Format Factory 2.0.  It's a freeware program that converts video files from one format to another, including converting files to .flv or .swf.  My goal is to take short video clips with our Sony digital camcorder, which saves files as .MPGs, then convert them to .flv and insert them into Captivate.  I tried a couple of files and it seemed to work pretty well.
    Is there another application that would work better?  I'm basically looking for something cheap - free is better.
    Thanks for any input.
    Mister C.

    Never used Format Factory but used the 'Super Converter' for several conversions and it works well (though never specifically tried it to FLV though, since I have Flash for converting video to FLVs)

    It's confusing to find the download link. Scroll to bottom of first page for a link somewhere, then a link toward the top of the next page, then back down to the bottom of the third....and will finally see a link for the .exe

  • Best video capturing program until FCP5 is released?

    This question is for the videoguys out there
    I bought an intel imac and was relying on FCP5 but now I realize it is not universal until march. I have tons of video to capture from mini DV and I want to have it all captured and ready for editing in FCP5 when it is available. I want to make sure it captures in the right AVI format for FCP5. What is the best video capturing program to use in the mean time until FCP5 is released?

    I thought about imovie but I am not familar with the different formats imovie can capture in. I need a compatiable format for FCP5

  • ZEN Vision M 30GB Video Conversion problem: black scr

    My husband cannot display any video on his ZEN Vision M 30 GB. Any video converted comes over with ONLY audio, black screen (? no video display )This happened with the original firmware and software. I updated firmware and did all available software updates; no change. I had a previous ZEN Vision M 30GB, which did not have any problem with video conversion and display.Are there any known problems with specific Media Player versions, or QuickTime ?which may be a potential cause of this problem?( I have heard that this product works best with Media Player 9. )Anyone had similar problems, or have any ideas?Thanks,Ravenquille

  • Best Video Conversion Settings

    I'm trying to convert all my AVI files to mp4 format so I can watch them from my iPod on my TV. What's the best program to do this with? And also, what are the best settings for the conversion? I'm looking for the best video and audio quality possible.
    I have 200+ videos to convert (mostly TV shows).

    Just to follow up on what Martin said: presumably your video is HD, rendered in Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
    If you export the AIC as a QT  movie (And as Martin said, NOT QT Conversion) and bring it into iDVD for your SD DVD, all should be good.
    If you want Blu-Ray, you might want to invest in Compressor ($49) and Toast ($100 with plug-in); all should be good this way too.
    For a simple one track DVD Blu ray or AVCHD disk, you could also burn directly from Compressor.
    Good luck.

  • Best video conversion app for 2009 mac pro?

    hi, i just bought a 2009 2.66ghz quad-core mac pro, and as i have 4 cores (or 8 virtual cores with HT), i wanted some video conversion app that really uses the 8 cores. Can someone suggest me what app is the best for multicore?
    thanks!!

    For multicores I have no idea, (even though I have a Pro), I don't think many of the apps made are written to take advantage of multicore computers. That said you've not mentioned any formats that you really need it to handle so any suggestions made may be a little hit and miss.
    The two I use are Handbrake and Visual Hub.

  • What is the best Videoing Chatting program to use for my Macbook Pro?

    I have had Skype for a while now and recently I updated to Skype 5, and the call qaulity is absolutely miserable, it keeps being blurry and freezing and it's a pain to try and talk through. So I was wondering is there any changes or fixes I can do to possibly make it better or improve the quality of my calls? If not is there any other good video chatting programs with good call qualities for Mac?
    Im using Skype on my macbook pro, just saying.

    How can you check if your wifi is good enough for a quality video call?
    Yes I would post on Skypes forum, but there people their are not very helpful or supportive, so Im trying to get other people's opnions on ways to improve the call quality or find a better program.
    Does anyone use any other video calling program that is just as good if not better? If so could you please mention it. I've looked on Google and I know some of the softwares or programs out there, but Id like to get peoples first hand experience with the programs and what they think of some of them out there.

  • Recommended Video Conversion program (AVI to MPEG-4) and Settings?

    I'm looking for a good AVI to MPEG-4 video converter and wondering what settings I should be using when converting? I notice that some programs have a dummified "best quality" setting but not all of them.
    Also, is MPEG-4 the best quality format to use? I saw a format called h264 which seemed like it might be higher quality?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Unfortunately AVI is a container type and not a video codec, so we can't really guarantee that any particular software will work for you. You might want to give mpegstreamclip a try, or better still tell us which codecs are used in your files. See This to learn how to find this information.
    Mpeg 4 is the only format that you can use, although h264, otherwise known as AVC or mpeg 4 part 10, is also a form of mpeg 4. You will be much better off using h264.

  • Vision V Plus: Video conversion/compress

    I've grabbed the latest version of the Creative Video Converter... but converting a 350MB AVI gives me a 700MB AVI (which kind of defeats the purpose of all the cool compression tools around).
    I've poked around with SUPER a bit, but I have no idea what settings are good for my Vision V Plus. I'm also hoping that I don't magically DOUBLE my file size from SHRINKING my video.
    Anyone with experience with this?

    Okay here are the settings but when you convert the size still goes up for me.. but are the settings that work for me... -Select Out Containter: Avi-Out Video Condec: DivX- Out put audio: Mp3-Video Scale: No change-frames/sec: 25-bit rate: 768-Sample freq: 4400-channel: 2- bit rate kps: 28?ok hope this works for u -

  • Is there a better free video conversion program than handbrake?

    I wanna be able to make videos into the iphone format or convert .flv files to a watchable format and I usually use handbrake but lately it seems to only successfully finish converting 1 in 50 files I attempt, so is there a better, more reliable and most importantly free way to convert file types?

    No, there is not.
    There are other ways to rip homemade DVD's and convert, but not an all in one universal converter.
    Are you using the most current version of handbrake?
    Have you gone to the handbrake forums, posted your problem with an activity log?

  • Is there a way to shorten iMovie video conversion ?

    I am starting with a "m2ts" video file.
    I purchased a video conversion program from the Mac App Store.   It is called “AnyVideo converter HD".  It is well reviewed.
    So, I dropped in my "m2ts" file.  I set the conversion to "Computer MOV 720p HD".  "AnyVideo converter HD" converted a 1 minute video in about 15 seconds to a "mov".   The converted file had excellent picture quality and sound, it played perfectly using QuickTime.
    When I dropped this 60 second clip into iMovie 06 (set for 720p) it's conversion process took 35 minutes ?!?!   The result was flawless!  However, a two-hour video conversion would not be complete until about the time Capt. Kirk joins Starfleet.
    How can I speed this up ?

    baltwo - thank you for the expert advice. 
    I did as you instructed and the situation is better but I don't believe it's solved. 
    I still get 3 versions of Photoshop when I right click on a PSD.  I also get Dashcode and Textwrangler - which are the oddest associations.  All together I get 25 apps responding to "Open With" on a PSD.  And this is an improvement.
    Do you think I would get even better results if I ran the same command again?
    Thanks again.

  • Losing Audio in Video Conversion m2ts mp4

    I am using a video importing device and software that creates a "m2ts" file.   I can play the created "m2ts" file perfectly using VLC.
    However, neither QuickTime 7 or QuickTime 10.3 will play this file.   When I tried to use MPEG Streamclip I was presented with a pop-up suggesting I need to purchase an additional plug-in, (which I am happy to do). It suggested I go here to purchase.  http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2
    I tried that, but was redirected here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/components.html
    I have no idea if the software I need is at this redirected website.
    The plot thickens.   The importing software has the ability within it to convert video file to a mp4.   I tried that because I have found mp4 to be more compatible.
    Unfortunately,  I lose all audio (the video is perfect) when I try MPEG Streamclip or VLC.  With QuickTime 10.3 I get perfect audio and video.  So, I drag the mp4 file into iMovie 06 (aka iMovie HD) and it begins converting into something. When the conversion is complete the audio is gone!
    I have dumped many mp4 files into iMovie 06, and never had a problem until now.
    Thanks for reading, suggestions appreciated.

    I thought I would report my progress.  ( I have sound now, BUT !! )

    Then the trouble started.  When I dropped this 60 second clip into iMovie 06 (set for 720p) it's conversion process took 35 minutes ?!?!   The result was flawless!  However, a two-hour video conversion would not be complete until about the time Capt. Kirk joins Starfleet.
