Windows software for converting to AVI

hey bitekkers,

i need software to batch convert my large collection of music videos (various different codecs including .mpg .mkv. .avi. .mov) to avi so i can chuck them on USB and play them through my 7inch dvd player in my car

Could you name me some reliable (hopefully free) software

thanks

I believe the new version of handbrake has stopped supporting avi, but if you can find an old release (i think you can find links on the handbrake site) it will do avi.

 

cant you use the video converter in the catalyst drivers for your hd 4870

 

I think Avivo is available on the 4800 and 4600 serie.

FormatFactory is excellent, I use it too.
I also use Handbrake 0.9.4 to convert my Video_Ts in FFMPEG

 

Format Factory will convert those formats. It's free too... just be aware of the possible spyware it carries.

 

Use FFMPEG, it's free and tbh most GUI video converters use it at their heart. However it does take some getting used to, so here is a list of useful commands:
