Free video transcoding

I received an e-mail a few minutes ago announcing a free site where you can upload up to a 20GB file and they will transcode it to any one of quite a few formats.
http://www.freeencoding.com/
It is associated with Videoblocks.com which I happily subscribe to.
It didn't like the MOV files from my all I-Frame codec (encoding failed), so I tried changing the extension of an MTS file (which it didn't recognize) to .mp4 and uploaded it, asking to have it encoded as a MOV file.
I don't know if this is a handy web site, almost completely usless, or what? It allowed me to save the converted file to my dropbox folder which I thought was rather interesting.
The conversion to MOV seemed to work, or I thought it did, but my Quicktime player didn't like it much. I had to download some plug-in or other. I don't really know what it did but it eventually played it.
I then tried a different MOV file (not all I-Frame) and it failed to convert also.
I find the concept of a free conversion site interesting, but I can't quite wrap my head around the usefulness of it.
What do you think?

True Jim to some degree.
Certainly when I was trying to edit AVCHD footage in its early days transcoding was the only way, until Edius was released in a form that could edit the native footage easily and as usual it was rock solid, at the time Premiere was useless.
The only way I could use Premiere was to use Cineform avi's, I did try as many free transcodes as I could but Cineform was by far the best at that time.
A few years later and we still have AVCHD issues with Premiere, sad

Free video background widgets in muse

is there something wrong with the free video background widgets add on as it wont allow me to enter url for uploaded video mp4 file on muse? My video wont upload due to URL verification prompts how else am i suppose to upload this?
If i was to purchase a video background widget via add ons does it mean the widget is going to work? I could do with a suggestion if anyone is willing to assist as it is extremely frustrating i can not make this video widget work despite following tutorial footage online.
Cheers!

I am not sure which free add on you are using paste a link. I am working on a video heavy site, and have purchased both muse- themes and qooqee video widgets, and think they both are working fine except if you need to scroll. In the muse widgets you have you tube which you can hit full screen and pin so when you scroll it appears in background. The problem i had with any of the background video was that any composition widget stops working when you scroll down. have no idea why! if any one can explain? I got over this with the you tube widget. Have you got video fullscreen auto playing on mobile sites?, One of the staff on this form showed me a awesome tip for this. The giff person as i called them . on your mobile site add a full screen slide show. convert your video file to giff format and add in slide show as hero image. kicks *** tricks iphone. Mind you there is a learning curve to converting the video and it needs to be kinda 10 second footage max to load quick but loops auto etc. no sound, may be the giff person will help out with this one?

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,
Brian

Att: Steve - Customer's Deserve FREE Video Support (NOT DVD RELATED)

So in the end Steve, you cannot refute my logic on a factual basis, you can, and have only, disagreed with it based on YOUR perceptions. Perceptions that are fallible, just as my own are to a lesser or greater extent, based on the fact that your mind is pre determined to maintain it's presently accepted course. So what? You have not proved me wrong. You do not refute the fact that other software manufactures/developers that are just as potential as is Adobe, with respect to music related software, do offer excellent quality free video tutorials as a part of their basic support.
You maintain in your closing statement that Adobe has no logical reason to change their present course of action with respect to an absence of free video tutorial support. Do you realize what a foolish and illogical statement that is? I & THOUSANDS of others like me are that reason Steve. Certainly we may not constitute a majority of users, so what? We are customers Steve, and frankly therefore, we are right. Period. That is irrefutable business logic Steve. It's grounded well within the reality that this type of support is more than precedented within their very own jungle so to speak. This is not some whacked out eccentric's request Steve. This is as basic as basic gets.
You made the assertion that Videos were too expensive to be incorporated within the scheme of Adobe's operations without having a negative impact on the software's cost. I CLEARLY showed you that it could. You simply disagreed and returned insults as if "you knew it all" (which you don't & that's YOUR problem incidentally) without the slightest shred of proof to back up your disagreement. That's called being stubborn Steve. Just because it's YOUR way of doing something Steve, does not make it the only effective way it can (and is being done in reality)accomplished.
We have both made our case clear. I stand fully by mine and contend that it is both fair & reasonable.
Incidentally Ozpeter, I NEVER suggested free DVDs be included. Better go back and reread what I did suggested instead of fabricating reality to best serve your position.

Indeed, you referred to "comprehensive training video tutorials". I stand corrected. But none the less the subject has been discussed sufficiently.

Hi, whats the best free video player/converter?

Whats the best free video converter ?

I am sending out a small mov (DV) file to a a few dozen people (not clients as this is a free thing).
These people want to be able to convert this avi file down to a MP4 or other formats that will work fine on:
Mobile phones
Video frames
small portable data projectors
etc
What free video converter would you recommend to these guys?
I thought of AnyVideo Converter which is perhaps the most popular.
But I heard that AVC is dropping some features hoping people with upgrade to their pro version etc.
Han anyone got any comments on what free converter I can recommend to these people?
(These people will have Windows computers .... sorry ... :s )

I don't have any experience with Any Video and what it does with audio _ much less what it was doing for a 4 hour process. You could run it through MPEG Streamclip and change the sampling rate,
Or perhaps post this on the QuickTime forum.
Good luck.

Can I burn free video podcasts to DVD?

I'm trying to burn free video yoga podcasts to a DVD so I can play it in my DVD player. Can I do this?
I'm testing it out now, but it's taking hours to "Process Movies," encoding first the video and then the audio. I'm only working with about an hour's worth of video, but it's taking so long to convert the MPEG4 or whatever they are to whatever iDVD uses. I can't do yoga in my computer room, but want to use the DVD in my studio where I have lots of space.
Thanks,
Paul

podcasts aren't in a form that can be used by iDVD without conversion. You might have much better luck using something like Roxio's Toast Titanium.

Simple Automated batch video transcoding

Hi,
I am very new to FCS, all I want to do is have it scan my S3 mounted drive on my desktop, if there is content present grab that video and transcode it to MPEG4-webcasting, then place it into another S3 mounted drive (using expand drive to mount S3 to desktop). I have tried creating all my devices and scans/automations etc, I get errors saying "Failed to read media" then I try it in a folder it works and gets video but does not transcode it and place it anywhere... Please help me automate a simple video transcode.
Thank you,
Alex
Thank you

Scans are for adding assets incrementally, not so much for simple transcoding (though they can be made to trigger transcodes of the assets that are scanned). What you want to do is set up watch folders for each type of transcode or destination. Then for each watcher, make a Copy response that transcodes to the format and destination. You will need to make each transcode setting you wish to use active for the destination devices you wish to send encoded files to. Add a Delete response to the Watcher stacks if you want to remove a file after it has been transcoded.

Free video content?

Is there any free video content other than movie trailers and the teaser video segments a user can see prior to purchase?

Nothing on a consistent basis that I'm aware of. There has been at least one free video offered, but that was only for a limited time. There are none currently, at least that I can find.

Best free video converter ?

Can someone please tell me what the best free video converter is to go from wmv to mpeg-4?
The wmv file is one of those digital copies that I got when I bought a Blu Ray movie with a free digital copy. I downloaded the copy to my Windows 7 machine (it plays great on that machine) and I now want to add it to iTunes so I can play it on my iTouch 4G. Most of the advice I see is for converting from a DVD (like handbrake), but I already have the movie file on my PC and just want to convert it so I can moveit into iTunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use Handbrake to convert files as well. Just select the file as the source. This will only work if handbrake (or VLC) can decode any encryption that might be present.

Whenever I click Get Video, I get a 5002 error. But I'm fully authorized and have downloaded other things in the same session.
Any suggestions?
