MPEG4 Conversion software?

Well I got a few videos on my computer (.mov, .avi, and the like) that I would like to put on my iPod, but not being in the right file format they of course cannot. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any good (spyware free) software for converting video files to mpeg 4?

Handbrake is great for ripping DVD's into any format.

Instant Handbrake is great for ripping DVD's straight to iPod format.

Been using them both with excellent results.

Fuji Raw Conversion Software as External Editor in Lightroom

Anyone know whether Fuji's Hyper Utility RAW conversion software (if I remember the name correctly) will work as an External Editor in Lightroom. (Just read an article by a Nikon photographer who uses Capture NX this way in Lightroom and wonder whether the same is possible for Fuji.)

Thanks; I guess my question (which I did not state clearly) is whether if, at the end of processing in HV-S3 and "Save" the saved file (likely a TIFF) will automatically appear in the Lightroom Library associated with the original RAW file; this would be the chief advantage over just opening the folder with the file in HV-S3 to begin with, but it occurs to me that this may be a dumb question (as I've just downloaded and begun to use Lightroom and can't experiment with HV-S3 yet as it has not yet been released, but will be shortly). Thanks again.

Conversion software from labview 4.0. to labview 8.5.1

We have some programs written in Labview 4 that we need to run on Labview 8.5. In the Labview upgrade notes, I see that I have to contact NI for conversion software. How do I access this conversion software?
Thanks

This has been asked now for umpteen no. of times by many people.
What you can do is either contact NI directly for conversion or post your code here (if they are relatively small) so that someone will convert it for you. FYI, LV 8.5 & above will open VIs only upto version 6.0. It wont open codes developed in previous versions below than that. So, your original older codes need to be opened in some intermediatory LV version between these two, so that they can be opened in LV 8.5.1 or above.

I uninstalled ver 11, installed ver 10.7 because ver11 won't work on my XPsp3 machine with my vinyl conversion software to mp3, but upon launch i get :"itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of itunes'.

Hello, Stephen.
Thank you for the question. You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

About:Conversion Softwares

I would like us videomakers to discuss about the best video converter you use to kick your video from a codec/wrapper to another.
The point of this is to have a small handful topic for people wondering about video converter - which, why, how much .. oh wait it's free? .
The purpose is also to refine the reviews about the mentioned applications, and of couse discover new ones
Here are the softwares I use often use:
*Freebies :)*
FFmpegX - Free, open source, although shareware. But, the good part of it, it will always works fully. It can converts to and from many types and wrapper, including FLV (Google Video's, Youtube's, etc.).
It can be a little confusing sometimes, and it requires three componments you have to fetch (but hey, google's your friend right :)? )
FFmpeg - mentioning the componments, here's FFmpeg, the command-line app that makes run the previous app. This one though require a command-line knowledge, but works a helluva faster (about 5 times, from someone's experiment).
iMovie - Of course, iMovie can be useful to convert some videos. It uses Quicktime as base, so if you want to export using some Quicktime plug-ins, it will work. Cons is you have to import the movie in iMovie before exporting.
JES Deinterlacer - Sorry to say I don't know much about it. All I know is that is uses Quicktime's processing too, but if you like JES Deinterlacer's interface better ...
MPEG Streamclip - Ha this one too is nice Useful converter with many options, like trimming cutting or joinging movies. Can also directly convert from a Youtube or Google Video (or any internet Flash-based video in fact) by just typing the URL Address. Did I mention it has a big pack of format supported?
mConverter - Has proved itself unsuccesfully working with me. Perhaps some will have a better chance?
*Not free :*
Compressor - Comes with the Final Cut Studio package. I heard it takes some times, but the time is extremely well traded for quality (by example if you de-interlace the video).
Quicktime Pro - **** this is useful! To quickly convert a video, by example you need to send it to a PC friend who cannot play anything else than AVI, say, just open it up, export, smile. You're done. I'm happy with this one, as you can also add up plug-ins, which makes Quicktime export in virtually any format ever made.
Special:
Handbrake. The most useful DVD conversion software (DVD disc, and DVD folders, if you happen to have a dvd stored in folders in your computer). It uses ffmpeg at the base, and it does work extremely fast. It takes me about 45 mins to convert a 2h30 long movie to iPod high resolution format. (Mac Pro quad-core, 3GB RAM)
That is all I know for now. And I'm sure there are even more solutions, so that is why I created this thread, to find them of course
Behave good now everyone!

You can't really recover data from your reformatted mass storage unless of course you have a recent backup which you can use to restore to the phone.
With regards to applications, I would suggest you only reinstall what you use. I actually ake it a point to uninstall applications I don't use. There is no point tying up the phones already limited resources on unnecessary stuff. Tell us what you use and we could help you locate them.

Camcorder for iPad without conversion software?

Is there a list of iPad ready camcorders that do not need a video conversion software? Camcorders that already output in H.264 .mov .mp4 or .m4v formats?

Suggest you use Pages, but I'm not touching the "without problems" caveat, sorry

Video conversion software recommendations. MOV to MPG, WMV

Can someone please recommend an inexpensive video conversion software package? I'm trying to convert a QTMOV to MPG or WMV for Windows users without QT installed. Any help appreciated. I'm a recent Windows convert.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Quicktime Pro ($30us) is an excellent value video tool which can handle editing, layers, transparency etc etc. It can export to a variety of formats (although not WMV for obvious reasons). I'd be tempted to wait a couple of months though as QT8 will probably be around soon and will require a new key to be bought.
Also check out these applications on MacUpdate.

What is the best sound conversion software for making apple sound files?

What is the best sound conversion software for making apple sound files?

Depending on the file formats, you may not have to do any conversion.
The following shows what the native Quicktime Player Supports:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3775
and Quicktime Player is pretty much the core for all Apple app
playback.
And if that doesn't cover it, there are other players, many of
which are free, that may cover what you need (WINAMP, VLC,
Songbird etc.).

Professional video conversion software that converts .mov to OGG Theora and/or WebM?

I'm looking for a professional grade video conversion software that can convert Quicktime (.mov) files to HTML5 video formats such as Ogg Theora and WebM. There are tons of free ones but I haven't found one that does a very good job. I've tried Bigasoft's converters but I'm a bit disappointed with their very basic quality settings. I'd like to have more control over parameters such as bitrates, variable passes, etc. Does anyone know of something like this? It's also hard to trust if some of the converters out there are legit.
Thanks!

I just found out about Firefogg and it seems to be working well enough for my immediate needs. Still curious to see if there is anything better out there though.

Recommended iPod Conversion Software?

What would you all recommend for iPod Conversion software. I have several .avi files that I want to convert to iPod. I've heard Cucusoft is a good one. There are several free programs out there, however they don't sync the audio and video together very well. I'm looking for a program that syncs the audio and video very well. I am willing to pay for the right program as well, but if a free one exists, that would work as well. I have tried MPEG Streamer, and it doesn't work for me. I have also tried Videora and it was one of the programs that didn't synch the audio and video together very well. Do you all think that Cucusoft is a good program and are they worth $40? If there is a better deal on a program that is just as good if not better, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

Flash Conversion Software

I need a working conversion software to convert swf to gif or mp3-4.
Help! So far none work correctly, I wish the Adobe team would come up with something
due to the fact we need to be Iphone friendly on the web.

no bitmap or video will convert an interactive swf.
however, if the swf is not interactive, flash pro publishes, what for you may be, a satisfactory html5 app compatibile with the iphone.
if the swf is interactive, depending on what your swf contains, flash pro may still save you a lot of working creating an html5 app.

Choosing the right video conversion software

I am pretty sure this topic has been discussed with interesting comparative analyses, but could not find it.
If it exists, can someone be kind enough to show me the thread?
If it does not exist, then may I expose my problem:
I am normally exporting my video clips (from XDCAM-EX-HD) into Quicktime Movie using the XDCAM-EX 1080p30 Compressor in my sequence setting, to burn a Blu-Ray. So far it works fine.
But I also want to export them in a format to be read in Full HD by Sony PS3. The only format I found which works is HD for Apple TV which is only 720p and the picture is of much lower quality than from the Blu-Ray.
I would like therefore a software which could convert the .mov file into a DVIX or MP4 file in 1080p resolution which can be read by the PS3.
Which is these numerous conversion software can do it?

This thingy...which is a pack of presets for Compressor...has one for PS3.

File conversion software - Sony Handycam DCR-SR62E

Following on from my previous positing - My Handycam has saved under MPEG format and I believe I am meant to save files under MP4 format to be compatible with iMovie/MAC. Does anyone have suggestions for which is the best suitable software for doing this conversion ? Thanks

Jo,
It isn't just you. I have a Sony HDR SR12 and the SD clips when run through iMovie 09 just look plain bad. Pick up Steve Mullens e-book (PDF).. You'll see reference to it here. With his instructions the Mpeg clips will be converted to very very good MOV files with Mpeg Streamclip. Getting that same quality on DVD though is another story.
Also, call Apple. The more that call, hopefully will get some attention. Other have said to use iMovie HD instead of 09. I'm trying to find the right combination also.
