Need to convert video and audio files in high quality

Hi to all, i need to convert file types such as .AVI, .WMV and .MOV and keep the high quality, but i dont have or know any software to do this, are there any good options out there?
I don't really want to use a trial version, thanks.

I've used FFMpegX for my conversions. I've never looked at them on a large screen to see how well the video quality held on, but they look fine on my MacBook.

Cutting and saving individual video and audio files from a clip

I have to cut 201 individual video and audio files for separate scenes from an 11-minute animated episode and save them as separate MP4 video and MP3 audio files. What is the most efficient way to do this?

Without knowing more about your project, it's hard to even guess at the most efficient workflow.
Like: Do these clips have audio or are you adding it? What format are these clips? What is the intended delivery for the 11 minute movie?
As a general matter, one creates an event, imports clips to it. Then organizes the clips according to the needs of job, using keyword collections and ratings. Then creates a project and starts a rough cut by marking ranges in the event browser and editing to the time line. Some people start with the music, making that the primary storyline mark where they want the edit to be and cut to that.
Upon finishing, one can choose one or more of the "destination" presets. It's possible to export Audio only or Video only or both. MP3 is one of the audio choices. Some of the presets are MP4. If you want possibly better quality and more control, export the files as master files and encode in Compressor.
Good luck.

Video and audio files hosted on your site

It would be great to be able to host your own video and audio files and not have to rely on YouTube or Vimeo. Design a widget to for ease of use.

Yes, you can easily work with only audio or only video from a video clip in Premiere Elements.
How you do this depends on which version of the program you are using.

I am trying to use the auto audio-sync feature. When I select the video and audio clip to be synced FCPX says its syncing them and then once finished (at 100%) no compound clip is created and the video and audio file do not sync. Any help is appreciated.

Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

Scrol bar to slow down a video and audio file

Hello,
I need a scrol bar to slow down a video file (video and audio)
Thank you.

you want a video to play at something other than its native framerate?
if yes, you can't easily do that with an flvplayback component. you'll need to separate the audio and visual parts of your video and had them to a movieclip timeline. then you'll need to customize the playback speed of that movieclip.
you can use the following to play any movieclip (forward or backward) at any speed:
function playF(mc:MovieClip, m:int, n:int, fps:int):void {
    var playFFF2:Function = function(mc:MovieClip):void {
        trace(getTimer(),mc.currentFrame);
        if (mc.m<mc.n) {
            mc.nextFrame();
        } else {
            mc.prevFrame();
        if (mc.currentFrame == mc.n) {
            clearInterval(mc.int);
        //updateAfterEvent();
    mc.m = m;
    mc.n = n;
    mc.fps = fps;
    mc.gotoAndStop(mc.m);
    clearInterval(mc.int);
    mc.int = setInterval(playFFF2, 1000/mc.fps, mc);
// and to stop it:
function stopF(mc:MovieClip):void {
    clearInterval(mc.int);

What do I need to transfer video and audio from my 2009 Macbook to my television?

I want to watch a movie with my family tonight, but the DVD is broken. I was planning on renting the movie online and transferring the video and audio from my Macbook to the television. What cables will I need to accomplish this? Also, does anyone know, were I to use a Windows instead, would transferring the audio be simpler? (And what would I need to do that?)

Try doing it without a cable!
Use AirDrop, described here:

UPDATE - Oh, sorry, I see the article points out the MacBook is too old for AirDrop.

How do I play a video and audio file at the same time on Apple Tv?

I need to play a video loop (with no audio) on my apple tv and also play some music in the background. Its a video loop with no audio and then I need music to play in the background. The loop needs to repeat all day because its only 5 min long and the audio is an entire play list that's several hours. This is for a lobby flat screen setup.

QuickTimeKirk wrote:
Very difficult request because the Apple TV can only play one file at a time. It doesn't have a "loop" feature.
You could use QuickTime Player Pro to "join" the audio files into one file. The hard part would be adding the five minute video chunks via copy/paste as each would be added as a new "video" track. QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 "tracks" and the .mov container is supported by Apple TV.
So this new file would have a new video track (actually just a copy of the original) that played up to 98 times. A five minute source video would end up being a bit over 8 hours in duration.
The 98 track video could be "flattened" into one video track via export. The same for the audio track movie.
Other options:
Set the Quicktime Loop flag in the movie inspector properties.
Make a video playlist, adding the file to the playlist lots of times - make sure playlists are enabled in Settings for video not just music.

Video and Audio Files are different lengths when exporting

I'm just trying to get comforatable with a much faster Windows workstation on PPro and AE.
I just exported my first project from PPro to burn to Blu-ray like I've done dozens of times on our older Mac Pro w/o problems.
My Ppro file is 7:04:18 in length. I export the video as an mp2 Blu-ray video and import it into Encore and it shows up at that same length.
I export the audio as an aif and import it into Encore and it shows up as 7:06:19 in length--2 seconds and 1 frame longer.
Everything is CS6. File is 1920 x 1080, sq pixels, 29.97.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

Thanks for the feedback. I exported to aif as I was going to burn the Blu-ray on our Mac Pro in Encore, since we don't yet have a Blu-ray burner installed in our new Windows workstation.
Upon seeing your note, I re-exported the project as you described and placed the wav and mp2 in Windows Encore and they are both the same time length.
It seems the aif should be the same too... but I assume wav is likely the preferred format on Windows so will be using that as the new workflow.
Thanks for your help!

Cannot preview videos and audio files

I have Adobe Bridge cs3 2.1.1.9 and Version Cue cs3 3.1 installed and I am unable to preview my video files. Also, I am having trouble with playback of .wav files as well. I have tested the .wav files with a media info software and it told me that I do not need any additional codecs for its playback, but still I cannot play them on any of my players.
I still think the .wav problem might be codec related or some other issue after the same fashion, but I believe the "movie files can't preview on bridge" is some sort of stupid setting I just can't seem to find (specially because all of them play on their default players).
Any thoughts would be most helpful.
Tnx in advance.

In the past I have seen posts where Quicktime and Bridge had conflicts. Update Quicktime to latest version and see if that solves problem.

You need to use MPEG Streamclip to get the DVD files to Quicktime.

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
