Video Converters

[MichaelHill]

Hello, our school is after some sort of video converter, quite happy to pay, it's because we have various camera's that record in various file types and we are in the process of making a leavers DVD.

 

Any good recommendations on one that will convert from anything to anything pretty much?

 

 

Thanks.

What are you making the movie in? Adobe Premiere Pro will ingest most formats natively without any conversion, just make sure you have the settings for your movie set right before you drag in your first reel otherwise I will sometimes use the first clips format/timecode for the movie.

 

Apart from that Adobe Media Encoder will convert most formats.

You could have a script check a shared folder on a regular basis, run any new files it finds through FFmpeg and place the newly-converted file in a different folder ready for use.

I use Format Factory where I need to but generally for quick and easyt videos I use Serif Movieplus x5 which accepts every format i've needed to throw at it so far...

Another +1 for Format Factory, can't believe how powerful and flexible it is for free (but not open) software.

+1 for Super. Might try Format Factory, though. Sounds good.

DVD Flick will convert a batch of files (of varying formats) to DVD

[mac_shinobi]

Try this - HandBrake

 

+1 for handbrake here, that or format factory if HandBrake was not an option

We've been using Freemake Video Converter for a year or so after seeing it recomended on these very forums. Been perfect for us.
