| 403388 | 2005-11-09 22:08:00 | Hi, does anyone know of an easy to use, small downloadable programme (I have budget dial-up) so I can convert some personal DVD MPEG4 video (with the two Video_RM and Video_TS files) into either AVI (preferably), DivX, Xvid or all of these formats to reduce the size? A link would be grand please. Cheers | Aporosa (5671) | ||

| 403390 | 2005-11-09 22:21:00 | VirtualDub Linky (http://www.virtualdub.org/) Also might be worth looking at... www.afterdawn.com For guides on how to do things... might be a little outdated some of those, but should do the job. :thumbs: |

| 403391 | 2005-11-10 00:43:00 | I downloaded the programme and ran it, but the Open Video File refuses to open the DVD file (saying it "Cannot detect file type") movie. I've searched through the help without success. Can you assist please in simple language as I'm no computer genius. I need to convert some video to take to a school in Fiji and leave in a few days......... | Aporosa (5671) | ||
| 403392 | 2005-11-10 00:50:00 | Try this guide (www.afterdawn.com) it seems to be what you need | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 403393 | 2005-11-10 02:05:00 | I'd put it in H.264 personally, provided your computer is powerful enough to encode it in a reasonable amount of time. :) | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 403394 | 2005-11-10 03:22:00 | I went to "this guide" as bob_doe suggested and it says "First of all, choose Open video file.. from File menu and select the pseudo-AVI we created with VFAPIConvert previously.". My problem is, I don't have a pseudo-AVI file, I have a normal DVD file...... I want to convert this DVD file to an AVI. Is this difficult to do?? I thought the VirtualDub could do this.... just open the orginial DVD unsing the File Open under File, and convert. But it won't allow me to open the original DVD file.... computers!!! $%$#^& ahhhhh!!!!!! Any simple assistance would be much appreciated. And what is H.264? see I'm thick when it comes to this, need simple language please. | Aporosa (5671) | ||

| 403397 | 2005-11-10 07:13:00 | And what is H.264? see I'm thick when it comes to this, need simple language please. It's a newish codec so most people haven't heard of it (it's one of the the codecs being used for Blueray and HD DVD (en.wikipedia.org)). Other than QuickTime Pro 7, I'm not sure if anything else can encode it yet but I'm sure some Windows users can offer suggestions since they seem to have an allergic reaction every time QT is mentioned (then again I run just as quickly from WMP :p ). It is a very good codec though. Check out some demo high definition clips here (www.apple.com). Obviously you aren't limited to HD, it encodes just as well at all resolutions. :thumbs: Edit: Actually, look at the 'Software implementations' section in the Wikipedia article I linked to above for more software suggestions. :) |
