Free video converter needed fast!
« on: November 12, 2012, 01:53:53 PM »
Very quick topic here! I need a good, free video converter that converts the formats of multiple videos at once to any compatible with Windows Movie Maker that doesn't leave a watermark. It's for my Theatre Studies performance, we've recorded the parts we need and we have to edit them together by tomorrow afternoon, but the camera we used records in MPEG-4 format

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Psshh, your status as a hobbit has just been a cover. Your cover has been blown.

Handbrake

It's a free transcoder that let's you queue multiple files. Hopefully that works for you.


EDIT: That only saves videos as MP4 and MKV, which I don't think are supported by WMM.

Try VLC. It has a transcoder built in, but you won't be able to queue up a list. You'll have to do each video individually.

Xilisoft Video Convertor Ultimate.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

SUPER is also free and has many output formats iirc. The UI isn't great though.

SUPER repeatedly killed my computer, but I've known people who don't have that problem.

Though personally, I would recommend Free Studio, which is a handy little package of pretty much every converter you'll ever need and then some.

That one didn't work and it gave me spyware.

Wow really? I've used that a couple times in the past without an issue  :-[

Its alright, I did a system restore so it's all good now. I used a couple of the ones suggested here but it got to half 11 and I said fuck it. Someone else in our group can mess around with the video, I've done everything else for this performance.
