The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I'm trying to get videos from my camera onto my ipod, but the file type is .avi. itunes will only accept quicktime video files. Does anyone know of an easy to use, and most importantly free, program that can switch .avi to quicktime?
It says "Free to try; $24.95 to buy" but I've never seen any limitations while using the free version, and I think this is the site I got it from. Kind of simple but it should work for what you're trying to do. Oh, and there's no spyware or ads involved.
You put your avi file in the input box and then click "doc type" and select Quicktime (mov) for the output. If your video has audio you don't need to put anything in the audio box. And theres some other options on the right. Then you click encode in the bottom left corner. And thats about it.
Do you have a Mac or PC? On a Mac, there are tons of free, really easy-to-use video conversion utilities that will take any format. In addition, you can also add quicktime plugins to read everything from DivX AVIs to MPEG2 to flash FLV files (the kind you can steal off YouTube and IGN) so quicktime its self can read and convert the files for you.
On a PC I haven't looked that hard, but it seems that the web is flooded with stupid, for-pay-only programs that don't work all that well,
