Vista - Video Convertor

**Jekyll and Hyde** · 12-02-2008

Hello all,

I am trying to find an easy to use but totally free video file convertor as I have a few clips saved from the Vista Movie Maker, but I just downloaded something and it said it was free and was'nt, it did'nt even say it was a trial (don't you just hate that)

anyway does anyone by anychance know of something good that is'nt a trial or that you need to pay for, there must be something out there that does'nt mislead you, but for the life of me I can't find it

Hope someone can help

Many thanks

Thanks mate, but I tried the Video Convertor 1.4 but when I ran it, it comes up with the dreaded Video Convertor has stopped working

I'll have to keep searching, there must be something somewhere

I'm not familiar with Vista Movie Maker but if you're going from avi => dvd I can recommend FAVC and DVD Flick. Esp. with multiple cores you should enjoy FAVC.

Going the other way you might try AutoGK and AviDemux. I see you have 64 bit. The only one of the above I'm sure ottomh that has a 64 bit version is FAVC. You can look
them all up with user comments at VideoHelp site.

Hi Jekyll and Hyde,

Have a look at FormatFactory.

See it discussed HERE over at Wilders.

Good luck.

Or, have a look at MediaCoder - more than a universal audio/video transcoder

Well I have finally got a video clip up but I still have a pain as you will see if you want to take a look.

Something about Unregistered User..........but I can't seem to find anything else

In the end I had to find a program to convert the VOB file to avi and got iSofter DVD Platinum, but did'nt bargain for the fact that the unregistered notice would be right in the middle of the clip

spoiling it totally

Don't know what else to do.

I plumped to use the FAVC and its fine to use on 64-Bit as you said *MilesAhead*
