Free AVCHD converter for Leopard

I'm getting a bunch of .mts files from my brother.
VLC does convert to (for example) .asf, but it's jerky and just bad.
Are there any free apps (no trial etc) that can convert .mts to .mov, avi, etc?
(I do have Final Cut, but it's like bringing up a Ferrari to go to the store for milk, while you can take the bike, sorta...)

Turned out that Toast does the job. (Better than VLC, although Toast is not free...)

Free wmv converter for mac???

does anyone know a free wmv converter for mac? I tried MPEG streamclip and wmv is the only format it won't convert the whole file for, it only does 10 secs and from what I know this isn't a demo.

Try this site for a free conversion; media-convert.
Post back if you have success with it...I never used it...have F4M, which is worth it if you intend to do conversion often.

Have used Videora & DVD decryptors for DVD's - no problems, but Videora does not like WMV to MP4 conversions (it seems OK for other conversions,ie AVI's, MP2's etc) - can anyone recommend a Free Converter for a Windows user please
PS - I have scanned / searched Forum - plenty of questioners - but few answers.
PPS - No Quicktime Pro / Handbrake(Mac) salesmen please.

Anyone know a good, free video converter for a Mac?

These boards have gotten very PC centric. Anyone know of a good free ipod video converter?
Thanks!

Anyone know of a good free ipod video converter?
In the "free" category I would recommend:
MoviesForMyPod -- simple non-muxed QT file conversions
iSquint -- handles AVI and MPEG1 formats in addition to non-muxed QT file conversions
MPEG StreamClip -- Muxed (MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB), as well as normal QT file types and includes limited but nice editing features. 2-pass H.264 mode is a bit loose but I would recommend it for any experienced user
HandBrake -- already recommended by previous responder, this application is limited to DVDs, DVD images, and VIDEO_TS (VOB) files and has a few minor "bugs" which may catch the careless user off guard, but is generally a quite functional program.

Free video converter?

Hey
I am looking for a free video converter for my mac so I can convert DVD, AVI, MPEG, MPG, QT to iPod Touch format, I believe it is MP4... Can anyone help me?
Best regards
Jesper

Hey,
I would try http://www.zamzar.com It is a website that allows you to upload your files, give an email address, and minutes-hours later, they email you a link for you to download your file in the new format. It also works for such things as downloading web based videos (like YouTube videos). I hope this answers your needs,

AVCHD Media for PowerPC based hardware

I have posted this earlier in an other thread but my posting has so far been ignored, so I am trying a new thread:
We have just invested over 1500$ to upgrade to FCStudio 2 as well as stashing 3 more gigas of SDRAM into a G5, as I need to edit HD video from 2 different media: HDV and SDHC cards with AVCHD formated video content!
Obviously, Apple hasn't been shy trying (and succeding) in selling me the upgrade from Production Suite to FC Studio 2 as well as recommanding me to install at least 4Go of Ram to handle uncompressed HDVideo, but forgetting entirely to point out that my set up would not work with AVCHD media (as I am such an old customer that runs a real nice but 3 year old PowerPC !)
Having installed FCStudio 2 and the extra 3 Go of Ram, I got really quite confused discovering in the FCP6 "Working with High Def Infos" one fateful line stating that AVCHD media is unsupported on Power PC based hardware! Right after installing FCStudio 2, I did install the Upgrade to FCP 6.01 and the Note that goes together with that upgrade proudly states that the AVCHD codec is NOW supported! (But again it is not saying that AVCHD is NOT supported on Power PC based systems).
Finally, I have tried to List and Import some AVCHD footage but to no awail. Just getting the darn warning cooly stating that my AVCHD media is unsupported on my PowerPC based hardware.
So my question is: If the VOLTAIC people are able to supply a seemingly perfectly good AVCHD converter for 30 US$ (while giving away half of its price for cancer research), you would think that the FCP people or the QT people would have been able to do the same! I have no idea why this is not the case! I don't like to assume things but one thought is kind of nagging at me: Could it just be that the Apple marketing people told the FCP or QT people to drop this idea as they really now have to have me buy a new Intel based machine ... Am I missing something ? Am I confused ? Am I frustrated ? YES, at least for the two last questions.
I still have to discover if the AVCHD converter will work with my PowerPC based hardware ! If not, what would be the way to convert my AVCHD files to another HD format supported by my system ?

FC6 deals with AVCHD by converting to AIC or ProRez. This is not a native solution. Yes you need to convert, and I can't remember if this Voltiac works on PPC or Intel so that may be a source for you.
To transcode in real time means converting right out of the camera if it has an HDMI port. If it does then the conversion happens in real time from a processor inside the camera and converts to uncompressed HD. Then you would need an HDMI to HD-SDI converter to send this to an HD-SDI Capture Card if you G5 was a PCI-X slot so you can use one. Have I lost you yet? I hope you have a fat wallet for this.
One way for sure to work in real time is with a new Mac Pro and a Black Magic Intensity HDMI capture card for those who want solid solutions to these small cameras.
Does this help you now?
Good Luck

Whats the best/fastest format to convert avchd to, for edit purposes?

Whats best format to convert 1920/1080 avchd to, for editing purposes?
I tryed converting to HDV but didnt like the quality. I then tryed to convert the raw avchd files to mpeg2 @ 35 mbps. That is much cleaner but renders slow...about 1-1 ratio.
Looking for a codec that is fast to convert to & clean.
I have aPC, Win 7, 6 core, 32 gig ram,Raid 0, fast cuda card ect...

AVCHD has the same data rate as DV, so shuttling that fast will not be a disk problem, even from a single drive, let alone a RAID 0. If it stutters, it's a CPU thing.
Conversion to any other format is going to expand the data rate significantly, requiring your RAID to work harder. Though the CPU will likely work less, so that could fix the stuttering.
You can always add all the clips to a sequence, and then add that sequence to the Source Monitor for editing as if it were one long clip.
Having said all that, if you still feel the need to convert then I recommend the free and lossless UT codec. You can export out the combined clips right from PP, and the new media will not suffer any quality loss due to conversion.

Free Ipod Video Converter for Windows

Ok, a lot of people are talking about using an Ipod converter to switch the format of the video so you can put it on the Ipod. However, when I searched it on google, a bunch came up. Could you help me and tell me which one is the best or better one to use. I heard something about Free iPod Converter (http://www.ipod-video-converter.org/index.html)- (Windows only, good for all) and I went there, but it did not work and showed up at screen that I couldnt go anywhere. Please help.

See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase.

What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase. And one that is 'fool-proof' and very easy to use. Many thanks, anyone who can advise.

You want to 'reverse engineer' the compressed mpeg2 DVD file back to something iMovie can use?
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
