Need a safe free file converter

Adobe supprt has told me that my Adobe slideshow that was completed on a XP windows computer and saved as a dvd is not compatile with my new Window 7 computer. It is a .dat file. They told me to get a free file converter on the internet but did not mention which one was safe or what file extention I should get.
I would appreciate some help in this matter as I worked for about a year to finish a slideshow of family outings so I could make copies for my 4 children.

Hi Bernice,
I deleted my first choice because I can no longer find the site for downloading the version I have. I've never used the "Any Video Converter", so I can't comment on it.
You can try asking this question in the Premiere Elements forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
Premiere Elements is the video editing program, and the users in that forum will probably have more experience with converting videos.

Free file converter

I've just come across this www.zamzar.com
Two of the file formats it claims to convert are docx and pub.
I haven't tried it but it might be worth bookmarking for emergencies.

Call me cynical, but I don't like the idea of sending my files to some unknown server to be used for who knows what, when you can get all of that functionality, and then some, on your desktop, for less than $100 US.

I've been using this forever, and it even allows me to read and write Mac format disks, if the need arises (not often since the days of floppies has passed).

Need help with Raw file converter for ps6 on windows xp

I had to re-install my CS6 on my computer and now I can't get any of the raw files open. I'm not on the cloud and am running Windows xp, service pack 3. Can anyone help?

Thanks Richard. I made sure that I was totally up to date via help-updates on all programs (cs6 & bridge) and it still doesn't work. Any other thoughts? I remember vaguely that I had this problem before and had to download a new file. I tried looking on Adobe site and the suggestion is the raw conversion 8.3. Downloaded that (said it was for windows xp, serv. pack 3) and I can see the file but when I click on that it comes up as a .pf file and I"m not sure where to go from here ... or if I have now messed up everything really well.
Yes, XP is on the way out of my life as I need a new computer so this maybe the push that I need. But in the meantime, I really need to process some images.
Any other thoughts?

NEED A GOOD free IPOD CONVERTER

that does not have words on it when u play it on ur ipod sayin regesiter for only 39.99. just it show the full video like u downloaded it.

See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).
There quite a few free ones for you to try. Whatever you do, don't buy anything from the spammers that post here.

Best file converter for .mpg to .mov

I am trying to import movies in .mpg format to iMovie 11 which requires a .mov format. I want a free file converter that won't sacrifice the video quality.

If your movies are MPEG1, then MPEG Streamclip will convert them for free.
If your movies are MPEG2, you may also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component, which is $20 from Apple. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this.
Drag the MPG file into MPEG Streamclip. Click the play button to ensure that it plays and all is well. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME and choose a codec for your needs. I recommend Apple Intermediate Codec.
Detailed Instructions....
Get MPEG Streamclip, which is free.
You may also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component for $20.
Follow the instructions on the MPEG Streamclip website for installing the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. Here are those instructions for Mountain Lion and Lion as of 2012-11-05...
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion and Mountain Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion and Mountain Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion or Mountain Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 betaabove; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component M. Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion or Mountain 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 and Mountain Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion and Mountain Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
If your security settings will not let you run UTILITY MPEG2 COMPONENT M.LION, then you can override the security by
1. Hold down "control" button
2. Click on the app that is triggering the message about the security preferences
3. Select "open" to override and install/open the application
For more on the security settings see this document.

What online file converter do you recommend?

Does anyone have a good free file converter that you have downloaded from online? I don't want to get stuck with some type of virus, etc. Thanks!

Here's a small sampling of some video converters.
iFFmpeg
HandBrake
Permute
ReelBean
Movavi Video Converter
I've given all macupdate.com links. Look around there and you will find others too.
Of all of these IMO iFFmpeg is one of the most flexible converters.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.

Need a file converted from InD CS5 to InD CS4...

Had someone do some work for me and their source file came as a CS5 InDesign version 7 file (I think)... which I cannot open in CS4 InD version 6. Is there such as thing as file converter of some kind or do I need to have them or someone else open it in CS5 and save it in some compatible format?

Yes (well, to the 2nd part of your question).
Ask someone who has a CS5 to save it as IDML, or (always an option!) download the fully functional trial of CS5, and you have about 30 days to do it yourself.

I was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 (?) in order to make word files converted from pdf editable. how do i do this?

i was informed i need to purchase standard 11 or standard 12 from adobe in order to make files converted from pdf to word using the recently bought and installed adobe pdf exporter file. how/where do i do this?

Currently the Acrobat version is "XI" (no "12").
With Acrobat XI installed:
"File - Save As Other" --- from here you pick the supported file format for the export.
If a PDF has content that is the output of a scanner then that output (as is the case for All scanners' output) is a picture of text and not real text.
During an export all that can be processed is the picture. As a picture of text is not text it is understandable why Word (or other word processors) cannot edit the content.
So, for such, prior to export run Acrobat's OCR and save.
The export will be of the OCR content.
Do expect to do clean of the text, spelling, punctuation, layout etc.
This may be minor. This may be major. But, there will be some.
Adobe as some online subscription services that can take a "proper" PDF (NOT all are eh) and export to supported file formats.
Two are "ExportPDF" and "PDF Pack".
Be well...

What RAW file converter download do I need for Photoshop CS5.1?

What RAW file converter download do I need for Photoshop CS5.1?

Camera Raw 6.7 is the last version you can use.

I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine. Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

Comparison for iPod Users: Free Online Converter & DVD to iPod Converter

Compare two channels of obtaining video sources for iPod: one is using online converter, the other is DVD to iPod Converter. After the general introduction of the two methods, I will analyze their advantages and disadvantages for you to choose according to your need.
Part One: Enjoy YouTube (online videos) on iPod
Instruction: a useful website to convert online video freely: http://www.vixy.net/
For vixy, you can just copy the URL of the online video into the âURLâ blank of the vixy, then choose the format you want to convert to. Click âStartâ. For a short time, the conversion will be finished. You can click the âDownload the converted videoâ to restore the file.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/vixy.jpg
Advantages: Free online video converter. No software to install. Only a few clicks you can get the converted file after a short while. The most important thing is that online video sources are numerous and original, so you can get the first-hand sources in time through it. Some personal DVs are also shared with you.
Disadvantages: They set limitation of the length and size of the video. The classical movies usually are not on line available. Even if existed, the quality of image and sound is inferiors.
Part Two: Enjoy DVD movies on iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPhone, iPhone (3G), Apple TV
We usually bought classical DVD movies for collection or regular watching later, but DVD cannot be copied directly into iPod for us to appreciate it at anytime and anywhere. On this occasion, we need to convert DVD to the format, video and audio settings (Resolution, Bitrate, Frame Rate, etc) supported by your iPod player.
Instruction: the way to convert DVD to iPod: using Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter http://www.aiseesoft.com/dvd-to-ipod-converter.html
Install and run Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter
http://www.aiseesoft.com/download/dvd-to-ipod-converter.exe
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/screen.gif
Step 1: Click âLoad DVDâ button to import your DVD
Step 2: Use âProfileâ drop-down list to choose your output format.
Step 3: Click âSettingsâ for setting your video parameters.
At last click âStartâ button to start your conversion.
More tips:
1. Merge into One File
If you want to merge the selected contents into one file you can check the "Merge into one file" option. As default the merged file is named after the first selected file (either a title or a chapter)
2. Movie Effect
You can set the brightness, contrast, saturation of the video and volume of the audio.
3. Trim Movie
It can help you to capture the segment of your movie.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-trim.jpg
4. Crop Video
You can remove black edge of your DVD movie and get any playing area of the video by using its "Crop Mode" function. You can also select "Zoom Mode" to extrude your video slightly to adjust to your portable devices so you can get the best video quality.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-crop.jpg
5. Take Snapshot
It allows you to capture your favorite pictures from your movie.
Advantages: In this way, you can make full use of your DVD: not only in DVD player, but your iPod player. The function of effecting and trimming allows you to clip the segment of the DVD movies complying with your will. You can enjoy more movies taking full advantage of your spare time while relaxing or traveling.
Disadvantages: DVD movies are usually popular, lacking of individualization. You can not share others' DVs.
With these two ways, we can enjoy the pleasure videos bring to us as much as we like. Have fun!

Depending on what update your iPod is, you may need
to dowload YAMB to make sure the videos play well on
your iPod. If you are watching a converted video on
your iPod and it freezes suddenly and this problem
continues, you need to download YAMB and convert the
files already converted with videora iPod converter
with YAMB, this will only take a few minutes.
I hope this helps you out.
Nope. All that a person with that problem should have to do is just update their iPod firmware to 1.1.1 with the newest updater, as that issue has been resolved in the latest firmware.

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
