Video converters??

Post by Dusty2 »

So my G10 saves video files in .mov format which windows movie maker doesn't recognize. Seems that most of the newer digitals are doing this. Why is a mystery to me. Guess that it must make smaller output files. Is there a free converter out there that won't put a banner on the converted files?

There are a bunch of free .mov to .avi converters you can find on the web but I found them to seriously downgrade the quality in the process. I have been quite happy with AVS video editor which wasn't free but saves in many different formats and the output isn't crappy. http://avs4you.com/video.aspx Cost me about $60

A friend and I produce a bi-weekly cable access show here in Portland. We've found Winff works very well and it's free. The best part is there's a version for windows and linux. Here's the link http://winff.org/html_new/

I have downloaded Bink & Smacker for free and I have problems with the files. I will try Winff.
Thanks!

I have been using Quick Media Converter and it has worked great for me. It changes several different types of files to several other different types of files. http://www.cocoonsoftware.com

You can also search for a codec installer for your computer. This may fix the poblem.

Do you think that I can do the conversion with Adobe Premier Pro?
