Converting videos

[zimmer]

I have mentioned ffmpeg before but people just look and think "omfg!!! I have to type stuff out, no way"

This really is a no brainer, you just need to download ffmpeg for your particlar OS (all the links are there) then select some options, copy and paste the output and that's it.

I hope this helps someone.

Hey thats smart, love ffmpeg, but hate all the options. I tend to cheat with winff and then copy the cmd line.

 

Feels better on the command line :-)

Yes, it is rather good. I do believe there is a front end for ffmpeg but I've never used it. That site will save a lot of time.

Oh, forgot to mention that it's all free.

I've no idea what this is.

I have a cam that records vids with .MOV extension but need to convert it so that I can edit on Windows Movie Maker. Is ffmpeg something that helps me do this?

It most certainly will Mr yeti. Even if you just install ffmpeg from the site using the link provided, then use google to find some conversion options, i'm sure you'll suss it out.

If you get stuck pm me and Let me know what you want your .mov converted to and I'm sure I can help out

winff is the frontend.
