What is a good video conversion software?

I would like one that was free, preferably. It also needs to be able to convert .MOI to .MOV

.moi files are irrelevant - they only contain info about the video contained in associated .mod files. You probably meant .mod files.
MPEG Streamclip can convert .mod files to QuickTime .mov. Note that you will also need the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component if you do not already have it on your Mac (needed to enable the conversion).
If you are converting the files in order to edit in Final Cut or iMovie, you need to convert to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec.

What is a good video editing software I can use on my MacBook Pro?
*also, It would be great if I could edit multi-channel audio on the software
Any suggestions?

probably THE best software is Avid Media Composer. It's an industry standard for Feature Films, Television programs and commercials.
Professional editors and producers around the world have told them what the software needs to succeed.
-More efficient and easy-to-use video editing tools. An open platform that enables you to work with everything you want and integrate into any workflow. More power to eliminate bottlenecks, so you can work faster than ever.
-Create 5.1 and 7.1 surround mixes directly within Media Composer, or import from Pro Tools (watch the video)
I own this NLE and it truly is the best out of all of the editing programs I've used.
** It's quite expensive though. But worth it if you want the best!
~$2,499.00
Another option would be Final Cut Pro. The little brother of Avid MC. I have Final Cut Pro X and I am very disappointed with it. It’s not an update of the existing Final Cut, which is one of the most popular programs; it’s completely new and radically redesigned. It looks different, its strengths are different — "and after one day of using it, many professional video editors are running through the streets with pitchforks."
Final Cut Pro X Review - NY Times
** It's a good starting program if you just doing editing that isn't quite as demanding as feature films, TV programs and commercials. Many editors have been moving away from FCP after the release of the current version. However, It is a lot less expensive than Avid MC
~$299.99
Personally, having both Media Composer and Final Cut Pro X, I would go for Media Composer if it's in your budget. Definitely worth the price!

What is some good video editing software for the Imac?

We just got a Imac for my church but Imovie is not cutting it, I need software that can capture video through a firewire. Can then edit it with adding effects such as fading in and out. Then it needs to be able to/have included software that I can use to put the video onto a dvd. I want to know of the best stuff out there. Thanks!

I need software that can capture video through a firewire.
Here is how I do it (I have tried almost everything).
For maximum quality here is my procedure: ADVC300 > iMovie 06 > iDVD 11
http://www.videoguys.com/Item/Grass+Valley+ADVC300/035303230363.aspx
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11, why?
iMovie 09/11 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video.

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.

Unless you want a new computer, forget about AVCHD. It requires too much muscle to edit comfortably on anything but the fastest computer.
What camera is nice, depends on your budget. Formats that are easy to edit are HDV, DVCProHD (P2) and XDCAM. In the consumer range you could look at the Canon HV40 or XH-A1s, in the prosumer range look at the Panasonic AG-HPX170, Canon XH-H1s, JVC GY-ND250 or Sony HVR Z5 or Z7 and all Sony XDCAM cameras, especially the EX1 and EX3. In the professional range look at the Sony PDW-F355 or upward.

You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

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 a good video converter for iMac? Premiere 6 will not capture from the Canon VIXIA HF G20.

What is a good video converter for iMac? Premiere 6 will not capture from the Canon VIXIA HF G20.

Rather than convert, you'd be better off capturing with a more current version of the program -- one that supports AVCHD video. Otherwise, you're in for a lot of headache. A converter isn't going to solve your problems.
BTW, when you say Premiere 6, do you mean Premiere 6 -- which is over 10 years old? (There was no Premiere Elements 6.)
Trust me on this: Capture with a Mac version of Premiere Elements 11 or 12 and your video will be perfectly compatible with any Mac program.

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.).

What's a good video cature device?

So I was wondering, what is a good media capture device for
streaming? I'm thinking an external for portability purposes. Also
when I buy one, whats a good software to get along with it? Adobe
Premiere Elements, Sony Vegas+DVD Production Suite? I'm sort of new
to the video side of web design.
Also, if i'm doing HD. Would I have to buy on of those really
expensive ones? Not just the ones for DV. But also, MPEG/HD/HDV
etc.?

I'm also using 1680x1050 on two wide screen monitors on two different nvidia cards. a nvidia7900 and a nvidia6800. Everything works fine. They are set up as independent screens. The third monitor isen't a wide screen and it's on a third card nvidia geforce4. Anyway, if it helps, you can find my xorg.conf file in the wiki. It's the last one in the list.

The only thing I changed in the file since I posted it was the order of the font paths.

eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

My standard list of things to do first for these weird sort of problems. Keep in mind this list represents the programs I tend to use. I run Panther (OS 10.3.9). There are several alternate programs that do the same things with some combining the functions of some of the ones below. So everyone has their favorites, but here are mine...
Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system, especially any external drives that you use for iMovie and iDVD projects.
Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
Reboot your Mac (after running Cache Out X you are given the option to restart the machine).

Any suggestions on a good video editing software for MacBook Pro

I have just joined the MacBook Pro community would like an idea for good video software options

Also, compare the hardware specification (not just minimums) needed to actually
use the video editing software; plus consider external storage options of huge
capacity since most portable computers don't really have all that much storage.
A few years ago some suggested Avid Media Composer as professional software
but then in the same discussion, said the MacBook Pro may not be able to handle
the demands of the application; and went on to suggest an Apple Mac Pro tower.
Some software needs require further study prior to committing resources & funds
to discover perhaps the product may/may not be adequate. Avid likely is still costly.
Hopefully you can get a great editor with a few creative options, for a decent price.
Good luck & happy computing!

Good video editing software?

anyone have any preferred video editing software? why do you like it? mainly looking at openshot/kdenlive/pitivi.. but haven't done much video editing in the past so not sure which I should go with. any thoughts?

Army wrote:
I made a video once and used openshot for it. Back then version 1.0 was the most up to date stable release. There was no undo function etc. But still, it worked quite well. But I think kdenlive is better, but it's a KDE application, so it's pretty fat on a wm only environment.
I'd say, you should give them all a try, it's a matter of taste and it depends on what you want to do. I'd recommend openshot.
As someone who currently has openshot 1.1.3 installed, I can confirm there is now an undo option.

What's a good video app with zoom??

I plan on using my new iPhone 4 to shoot a lot of video of my son playing soccer and daugher with her cheerleading. What are some good apps that can zoom in and out to get some good quality video??

You can't zoom the video. If you could, as the iPhone does not have a zoom lens, all it would do is become more blocky and would be worse quality video as a result.
Got you. Thanks!
