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?

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    You listed your complete Product Information as Dell.
    So, assuming you mean a Dell Printer, the answer is No.  Smiling.
    If you mean a Dell computer and an HP Printer, then the Answser is a resounding, "Maybe", "Probably".
    The answer depends on the Printer Model and the Dell Operating System.
    You can find HP Printer Software installation instructions and help below.  Included is an example of the Scan a Document or Photo function that is relevant for many of the versions of the Printer software.

    The printer's Support Pages also include your User Guide, videos, and lots of How-to links to useful documents.  There is also, in most cases for most printer modesl, an extensive "Troubleshooting" section.

  • 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

  • What is the best free video chat program is for my mac osx

    I'm new to mac and need to find the best free video chat program.

    You might want to take a look at Skype.  "Best" chat I think is in the eye of the beholder in these cases.

  • 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

  • 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.

    I tried it, but couldn't get it to work. I think I had trouble with the Rule. I put a Rule in as follows: Data added in the last five hours? I added music (data) but nothing appeared in my Smart Playlist. Oh yes - I named the playlist: Recently Added.
    What did I do wrong? Is it necessary to have a question mark at the end of the Rule? I couldn't find anything on how to create a Smart Playlist in Help. There is stuff in there, but it does not go into much detail, i.e., nothing on the proper wording of the Rule.

  • 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.

  • IPod Video Converter Programs

    Hi,
    This doesn't really pertain to the optical drive nor a Macbook really but, I was wondering if there were any free video converters that convert movie files to an iPod/iPhone compatible format. For example iSquint (http://www.isquint.org/) is great, but although it is free it only converts maximum like 5% of the film clip. I'm looking for something more along the lines of Quicktime 7 Pro (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/) which exports edited clips to various formats (including iPod/iPhone). Remember, I would like free programs, possible anything under $9.99. Thank you!

    thealexness,
    Really, you have answered your own question, even if not to your liking :-P
    Quicktime Pro is the answer. Yes, it's more than "$9.99," but not that much more ($30). For your $30, you get absolutely the most bang for the buck that you will ever get from any software purchase. In addition to the transcoding abilities that come with QTP, you also get many cool playback features: Full-screen playback, A/V control panels (for slowing things down or speeding them up, live color/tint/brightness correction, etc., etc.)... the list goes on and on.
    There's simply nothing better, or anywhere near as flexible.

  • 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.

  • Audio/Video sync program for Power PC G5

    Greetings to ALL,  I am attempting to determine if there is a audio/video sync program for my PPC G5 running 10.5.8?
    Suggestions would be great because if I cannot locate a program I am at the end of the road for this little project.
    Working with a Nikon D7000 and RODE Pro Mic and looking to get the Tascam DR 100MkII recorder if I can figure out how to get things to jell.
    Thank You, pc

    Even if syncing directly is not practical, iTunes can manage audio files, has many organization features for audio, such as playlists and folders of playlist, and tags that can be applied to multiple audio and video files are supported by it.   MPEG4Streamclip offfers a variety of conversion tools that are available for PowerPC for video and will bring videos to work with iTunes.  H.264 MPEG4s are the best for iTunes.
    And http://www.lemkesoft.com/ GraphicConverter lets you browse Finder folders, which you can tag by month, and year, and even time, in a hierarchy that makes sure you don't do any duplication.   Since the Nikon D7000 does write to standard SD cards, you just need a Mac OS X 10.5 supporting SD card reader.  Many SansDisk readers supports it.

  • 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.

  • 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 !! )
