AVI to MP4

[themoose]

Does anyone know of an easy solution to this?

Basically I want a bulk, minimal step needed avi to mp4 converter that works on vista. The faster the better, too.

This is for iPod btw.

Any ideas?

Thanks

what's wrong with using ffmpeg ?

[themoose]

It's not bulk.. :(

And what's the actual syntax for that? I forgot :p.

[krakjoe]

ffmpeg -i video.mpg video.mp4

it's command line, so you can write batch files for it, or use php ......

there might be something, I was just wondering if ffmpeg didn't have the right codec or something ......

[themoose]

It says I/O Error occured: Usually this means the file is truncated and/or corrupted.

But it's not :s.

ffmpeg -i input.avi -f flv -s 320x240 output.flv

try that .... whats the format of the file you're converting ?

[themoose]

Input is avi, output is mp4.. and if I'm not mistaken that would make the output flv :(.

I found a good one, it's called Total Video Converter... easy to use; import files, select format, click convert. Relatively fast too!

VLC may work.

sorry I was not concentrating when I posted that and yeah it would create an flv, just change the obvious bits for the correct format and filenames .....

VLC is just a player/server isnt it ?

[Johnson]

VLC is the swiss army knife of video.

[krakjoe]

Didn't know it could convert video though, I always thought it was just a kickass player .....

I use Videora iPod Converter.
