What's the best free program to batch convert .MOV files to .AVI?
 

Bought a new Canon Powershot digital camera today and I love it, however - the ones I bought in the past all saved movies as .AVI's ... so I figured out Microsoft Movie Maker and have edited a bunch of home movies of the family over the past few years

Like I said, I love the camera so I don't want to return it. I'd rather take the time and use one of my other computers to batch convert the files.

Any help is appreciated!

this is my favorite one: http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/download.htm

Its a playa :-) ...... i'll ask my guys tomorrow how we do it....hope all is well with familia brotha! cheers

Downloaded it. A little confusing for me. I just want to be able to say take this "file/format" ... browse ... select - and convert it to this "file/format" ... it's asking me too many questions I don't know the answers to LOL

There's high tech and low tech ... and I'm virtually no tech ;)

Thanks for the suggestion tho!!! :upsidedow

Thanks Raffi!

I guess another question would be: is there another editing software I should try that's as simple to use as Windows Movie Maker - that I can import these .MOV files ... and that has transitions and effects ... so I can edit the clips ... add titles, etc. and save as WMV, MPEG & flash files?

bump .....

Another?

If free is what you want then check out SUPER. Use the default settings if you don't want to answer any questions.

I use total video converter, batch convert anything to anything :)

FREE FREE FREE everyone wants free. LOL bump for Mr STyles

Super is by far and away the easiest to batch convert anything to anything else.
If you also have a Mac I would suggest using iDVD to make DVD's of your family stuff, as it's extremely easy to use, and the results are professional and look like you know what you're doing even though you know different.

Thanks! Will check it out! :thumbsup

Link?

I'm on a PC ... I will check out Super for sure! I have another program to make DVDs ... what I need - is to be able to use Window's Movie Maker because I know how to use it and it's simple. If there were another program like that that I can edit .MOV's and convert to WMVs after editing - i'd be down to check it out too tho!
