  • Could someone please recommend the best program to convert AVI and MPEG files for use (and exporting) into IMovie 11?

    Hi - I understand I need to convert AVI and MPEG files for use within IMovie 11. I have one particular file that has a watermark stating "Created with Flip4Mac WMV Demo". Can someone please recommend the best program for a novice?  Thanks!

    Hi Susan,
    It is no simpler converting vobs to mp4 than mpg (mpeg2).
    There is *always* a loss of quality converting video from one lossy-compressed format to another, e.g. mpeg2 to mp4.
    So, if you want to not lose any quality, then converting vobs to mpeg2 (mpg) is the thing to do (since there will be no video/audio re-compression), assuming Lr5 will accept them (sorry, but I do not know). example commands:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    If Lr5 won't accept them, then you can convert to mp4 with minimal quality loss using a command like:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    You may need variations of these commands depending on encoding of vob.
    Note: -i means -input-file; -sameq means -same-quality, as much as possible.
    ffm... is smart enough to avoid re-encoding, if possible, when -sameq is used, and makes reasonable choices for audio/video codecs based on extension of output file.
    Of course, you'll need to download/install ffm... program if not already on your machine, and execute commands in a terminal or command window.
    Do keep us posted please .
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • 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

    QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip can convert them. Some AVIs require that Perian be installed, while others can't be converted in Mac OS X through any means; AVI is a container, not a format.

  • Convert avi to mpeg

    I would like to convert films from.AVI to MPEG. Is there a good easy program?

    Yes! They are few of them. I use handbrake ( http://handbrake.fr/ ). Its free program with built in presets for apple products, subtitles support and good online comunity if help needed.  Other programs I know pople use are EM Total Video Converter and AVS Video Converter, but they are payd software. Some people use itunes/quicktimes for making ipod versions of avi movies but hanbrake works best for me.

  • How do I Convert AVI to Mpeg

    I have some AVI movies I'd like to view but I get a message "The movie could not be opened." How do I correct this? How do I convert and AVI movie into an mpeg or a viewable movie?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1st generation iMac G5 Updated with Tiger

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
    If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might also work.
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

  • Converting avi to mp4 for ipod??

    how can i convert my avi clips from my digital camara to mp4 for my ipod

    Drag the files into the open iTunes window and then convert them. Some AVI files cannot be played in iTunes and you may lose the sound upon conversion; if either happens, use Perian and MPEG Streamclip respectively.

  • Converting AVI movie files for editing in iMovie

    I have a bunch of .avi movies from an old Flip Camera that I'd like to import into iMovie. I can play the videos using MPlayerX, but how do I import them into iMovie? iMovie doesn't recognize these files. I'm working on an iMac. Thanks for your help

    Thanks I downloaded MPEG and I think I'm able to convert it, but iMovie still isn't recognizing the video even after saved it as a .mov. Maybe there's a wrong format? I'll look into Perian. thank you for your help

  • Converted .avi to .mp4 for Premiere Pro CS6 but receive a header error.. help?

    When I imported .avi video file into Premiere Pro CS6, only the audio played. I used VLC to convert the .avi file to .mp4 through a batch file. Now when I try to open the .mp4 file into Premiere Pro CS6, I receive an error "File cannot be opened because of a header error".
    I've tried converting the .avi file to .mov and .wav but they receive the same header error.
    I've also tried opening in Audition and resaving it as .wav pc but it still won't import to Premiere.

    First, depending on what is inside the AVI file, it should/might be "naturally" supported by Premiere

  • Java API to convert avi mpeg etc to SWF or FLV

    integration Thanks for your time.

    Hello to Kappy, I'm glad I saw your answer. I've been going crazy trying to get some *wmv files to my iPod Touch. Had even purchased 4Media Converter. It said it converted all 3, but only one actually played on my iPod. I downloaded the HandBrake program and got all 3 of my *wmv files converted and onto my iPod Touch in no time flat. And they all played. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Diane

    Converting AVI to MPEG on Windows XP OS

    YOu need to learn how to use FCP.  Sorry, no offense needed, and I know it sounds harsh. But from reading that I can tell you have no idea about how to properly import tapeless media into FCP...and don't know what formats FCP works with...nor know what formats the cameras record.  This is all basic stuff you need to know before you edit.  Editing isn't only creative, but lately highly technical as well...you need to know what your software is capable of doing, and how to get the footage into it properly. 
    You cannot do what you did...directly drag from the cameras into FCP.  No...it needs to be imported, typically with LOG AND TRANSFER...and converted from the shooting format, which typically isn't natively editable in FCP (want native, use Adobe Premiere...).  It needs to be converted to ProRes.  And yes, the file sizes of ProRes are a LOT bigger than the camera originals.  4-5 times larger.  That's how FCP works.
    Here's a quick tutorial to get you started.  But then I suggest getting to know the editing system better.

  • Guide to ANY video file to ipod for FREE using Windows!!!!

    This has taken hours upon hours of my time to figure out so you guys won't have to!
    First off go to:
    http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
    download and install this amazing program. It will convert avi's, mpeg-2,...
    after installing, you CAN'T use the default settings
    to output a video file that can be transfered onto
    ipod EVENTHOUGH YOU CAN TO iTUNES!. So what you have
    to do is go into setup and where it says "one-click
    profile" change that to "SP/320x240/1500..." and then
    chose a directory that you want it to output to. SAVE
    now, when you go to convert make sure you click on
    "one-click transcode" and chose the file(s) you want
    it to convert to. to chose more then one file hold down ctrl and click on all the videos you want (it has to be in the same folder from my knowledge). when its done you'll have the orignal video on your computer as well as a mpeg-4 version (you can tell which is which, change your folder view to details and it will say under "type". drag and drop all the mpeg-4 ones into iTunes MAIN LIBRARY, NOT VIDEOS!. if you want, after its done, you can delete the original as well as the mpeg-4 files because iTunes saves it again, at least it does for me since i have a CONSILIDATED LIBRARY which means anything you put into iTunes thats not apart of its directory folder, it will make a copy of and put in its directory folder. If you don't have a consildated library you should not delete the mpeg-4 files. Edit your video files in iTunes and connect your ipod and see the magic happen. And
    that is that. ENJOY!!

    The full version of Nero has a program called RECODE.
    It's output displays well in the IPOD.
    You can choose the quality, amount of compression, screen size, etc.
    I went to the Quicktime page that shows how to do this in Quicktime and it gives the suggested screensize and bitrates to go by and set NERO to . A 2 hour movie in 300MB appears to have no major sacrifice in quality using the small screen. The video compression properties screen has a checkbox that says "simple - Quicktime compatible" that may or may not have helped, but I set it as a new default profile called IPOD.

    Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
    Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
    Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
    You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
    In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
    1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
    2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
    3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.
