PC Video Converter? (AVI to MPEG or MOV etc)

Friday February 8, 2008 at 05:03AM

Does anyone know a good and perhaps even free PC Video Converter? (AVI to MPEG or MOV,...)

Let's say you have a 300MB AVI from your digicam, what now? How can you put it here or any other online video-site??

Please read here, join and help if you can:
http://www.ipernity.com/group/userhelpcentral/discuss/13887
btw, i started this group for things like that as well. not only ipernity questions.

or use the skype chatrooms.

Do you mean you want an encoder which can compress a huge DV AVI file in order to upload it here?

I'm new at Ipernity, so I don't know which video formats are accepted. Pocket DivX encoder can make small DivX videos, and it's free.

www.winavi.com/en/download/download.htm

First off: PC != Windows
Secondly: AVI, MPEG, MOV are "merely" the containers, more important are the actual codecs for the audio- and videostream.
Currently for video H.264/MPEG-4 AVC is the codec to pick for its efficiency in compression along with great quality.
For audio Advanced Audio Coding is widely used at the moment.
Thus I recommend the combination: H.264 + AAC

On a Linux platform I use mencoder with the appropriate libs installed. So a simple command line like
mencoder example.avi -ovc x264 -oac faac -o compressed-example.avi
would already do the job.

For Windows users I would recommend "Mediacoder":
mediacoder.sourceforge.net

Regarding dimensions, stick to PAL 720x576, whereas maybe already half the resolution will suffice for internet video portals, i. e. 352x288.
I know it would really be 360 width but encoders work best with dimensions divisible by 16.

okay right, i was talking about windows. and i guess in 97,5% of all cases a pc is coming with windows and is still running with it.

thing is i want to keep it EASY, i know about codecs and things, but this here's for a friend who doesnt.
it should be as easy as 1-2-3, you know?!

thanks for your information. i will copy the link to the group and test it.

Du kannst auch Virtual Dub probieren. Ich habe keine eigenen Erfahrungen, weil ich nichts mit Videos mache.
kurzer Artikel : www.chip.de/downloads/VirtualDub-1.7.7_12994844.html
oder direkt bei : www.virtualdub.org/index.html

Ich habe mal einen gefunden der SUPER(c) heisst. Der hat überraschenderweise ziemlich gut funktioniert und konvertiert in so ziemlich alles. Die Seite ist aber ziemlich krank und man muss sich x-mal zu dem Link ganz unten durchkämpfen bis man endlich zum Download gelangt.
Hier ist der Link: www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html (keine Angst der ist gratis)
