Title: .MOV to .MPEG converter needed! Help!
Post by: Corsair on August 25, 2004, 05:55:27 pm
Hey y'all. I took some short video clips with my digital camera this weekend and I'm looking to convert them from .mov format to .mpeg format so that I can edit them properly. Does anybody know a good program that can do this and where I can download it?

Thanks in advance!

My digital camera just died :(

The back panel had stopped responding, so I popped it open and there's a lovely scorch mark where the panel ribbon connects to the main board, and some nice melted cable glued to the board. Bye bye camera :(

ha ha :lol: no, really :p, ok heres some help, of course I thought we had more people familiar with this sort of stuff... :blah: to start heres a site worth looking at, Video Help (http://www.videohelp.com/), go to the convert section (http://www.videohelp.com/convert). Of course you might not find anything, and since I despise encoding because of its time-consuming attitude :mad: I still use it so I'll help :D.

A free converter is TMPGEnc (http://www.tmpgenc.net/), you'll also require a .mov Plugin (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=277) (tip: read the replies) which you can also go to it's official site (http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/4942/svcd.html), still having trouble catch me on ICQ 208-911-867.

Oh btw looking for an easier way out, buy QuickTime, because right now the above is the simplest way I've found without spending cash.
