Anyone know a good software (free of course) where I can convert video files? I've got a load of MP4 files that needs converting.

[nudge]

Total Video Converter. It's free and supports all formats.

[Fiddy Pence]

Do you need this to convert movies?


I got myself some DVD+R but had a friend say i need to covert the movies or some bolloxs, is this the software i need to do that? same thing yeah Nudge?

This one is very good in my opinion: http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

I use it all of the time. It comes with all of the codecs, but you might need to download some more if it doesn't work straight away. I use the 'Full' version of the K-Lite package: http://www.free-code...ck_download.htm

What do you want to convert to?

MP4 to AVI? MP4 to WMV? MP4 to DVD?

I already have that codec pack just for watching normal movies on PC.


Just a quick question for you CC if you don't mind...im trying to convert a AVI file to DVD and i have a message that pops up saying '' WARNING! YOU ARE USING A NON-ACTIVATED VERSION OF VIDEO CONVERTER! (sorry for caps) The watermark banner will be placed in the centre of the output file. Are you sure you want to continue?''


Whats ''the watermark banner''? will that fuck my movie up?

EDIT: Ole toss he's offline lol...someone help me http://www.totalfootballforums.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

Basically it's the same as the 'Getty Images' logo you see on photographs produced from Getty. Or any other transparent logo on an image. Like I've done with that .gif in my signature I made. You'll notice a 'CC' in the top left-hand corner. So the logo of the software you're using will be put right in the middle of the movie. Which obviously will ruin the experience of watching it a bit.

Ok, well thanks anyway. http://www.totalfootballforums.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif I'll see if that software that Nudge suggested does the same, if not i'll use that.

Fiddy, you want to watch an .avi movie on dvd player? It depends on the model of your player, some of them read avi files without converting.

Ah yes, your here.


And yes thats right, got an avi movie and want to burn onto DVD to watch on DVD player. Sorry to be a pain...but is there a way i can find out by looking at my DVD Player? and will this software also put a ''water banner'' into the middle of my screen?

well if it says it will, it probably will :lol:

tell me the model of your dvd player, I'll take a look. Or just burn the avi file on a simple cd and try to play it, then you'll know :D

If you have an external hard drive, you can buy something to enable you to play stuff on your TV straight from the hard drive. I have this:
http://www.amazon.co...67014815&sr=1- 2

In HD as well. It recognises pretty much any sort of media file. So long as the codecs or dimensions aren't corrupt.

It seems that it doesn't support .avi, you'll have to convert it, after all :)

Thanks for checking, really appreciated.

Almost done now 80% done http://www.totalfootballforums.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif


EDIT: Done now, all coverted...has a message in the middle of the screen though (says i need a unlock key). will go back to using the software CC provided, and follow the steps of that youtube clip to get rid of the ''water banner''.


Thanks all though http://www.totalfootballforums.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/congrats.gif

[nudge]

Well if you use CC's software, you won't get that watermark shit on the middle of the screen, I suppose :)
