CTskifreak Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have Videora to convert to my iPod, but I want a program that can take a .vob file that I get from DVD Decrypter and make it into a WMV or different file. I also want an .mp4 to WMV converter. I googled, but came up with a lot of shareware, or other programs that would leave a watermark or would only convert the first five minutes unless I registered. I downloaded the Divx Pro offer, but the trial expired for the mpeg-2 part of the converter, so that won't work. Thanks AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 20, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2008 Look on SourceForge.net for an completely free open source alternative, and Open Source Alternative for a pre-compiled list. I don't know what video formats and iPod supports, however there's also FairUse Wizard (Last Freeware UnCrippled Version) which can created DivX and XviD AVI movies.

CTskifreak Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Everything I find is either trial or shareware, and won't let you go beyond 5 minutes, or it will put a watermark, and they want you to buy the full version. First, I want a DVD (.vob) to WMV converter, and then edit it with Windows Movie Maker. I also need a iPod (Mp4) to WMV converter. I have found programs that do this, but I must be looking past the obvious. I use DVD Decrypter to grab a movie onto my harddrive, and used Videora for my iPod, but I need something to edit movies in WMV, and then be able to upload to Youtube. Right now, I have a 12 minute movie, and it is 2 minutes too long. Thanks AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Did you try MediaCoder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksBunny Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Try audio/video converter TuneCab http://www.tunecab.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted March 26, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2008 Try audio/video converter TuneCab http://www.tunecab.com You're certainly pushing Tunecab, which is a commercial application. Are we talking spam here? Personally, I particularly dislike the term "Free Download". Nothing short of misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 26, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2008 Although all commercial app's Imtoo has some goodies that I've trialled like their video converter/transcoder. I only used it once but it worked flawlessly for some music videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroby Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 A really good free converter called SUPER ? Officail website Although it is technically possible to download from this page it is very difficult to navigate and send you round in circles. In order to get program visit here Softpedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted April 1, 2008 Moderators Share Posted April 1, 2008 You're absolutely right Stroby. On both counts. A good program, and that site has you dizzy finding your way to the download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownSugar Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 You're absolutely right Stroby. On both counts. A good program, and that site has you dizzy finding your way to the download. Super seems to be one of the most popular free converters but my preference is Mediacoder because of the easy navigation of the website and its opensource platform. However, you might want to try Virtualdub and Avidemux (see www.videohelp.com for more info. Look at the tools section). Avidemux is an all-in-one container, meaning that it contains all the codecs you will need. It's similar to Mediacoder in that regard and unlike Virtualdub which requires you to have the codecs pre-installed. The absolute easiest program is Winff. It's up to version 4 and I find it excellent for simple conversions. The new version now has drag and drop capability. Previously found at www.biggmatt.com, it now has its own site: http://www.winff.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
