AVI to MP4 (iPod)

[Robbie]

Hey,

After using N!cks amazingly amazing tutorial for DVD to AVI, I needed something to get that AVI to MP4 so I can play it on my iPod.

I tried Videora but it just gets jammed on 99% for ages (like 5hrs).
WinFF is just too slow.

Any suggestions please? +rep to good ones.

Thanks,
Robbie

I use AVS, I think they have a free version but I may have pirated the full one.... Any video converter is a good one too

How long does it usually take from start to finish for you?

for my ipod touch, takes about 30 - 40 minutes give or take for roughly a 2hour film.

it does have settings for the ipod touch though and when i tried to do it in an mp4 format for my dads non-ipod it took longer. Much faster when i do it for my ipod rather than his sony thing

[Robbie]

OK cheers, I'll give it a try.

Thanks and rep.

Sorry for double post but I'm using Aimersoft iPod Converter 1.8, 1hr 35mins it says. Must just be my crappy processor.

[The Professor]

Yeah it varies greatly with processor speed. If you're not doing anything else go into task manager and set that process to high priority, it should get it done a bit faster. I wouldn't advise it if you're doing anything else though.

hmm, i have a core 2 duo, 2GB RAM. I dont know, maybe its the file type because youre not using the dvd format youre using the AVI one right? it varies what you are converting from and to what. must just take longer from AVI to Itunes MP4 than it does for .IFO (i think) to Itunes MP4

[Robbie]

I chose the iPod format that makes the size 600 and odd mb. The iPod Touch one is 1gb a file and my iPods only 8gb. idc about quality THAT MUCH really.

[kk.]

yeh but i mean like, it depends what its converting from. It sounds like youre using the suite rather than the DVD ripper (the one i suggested) so its converting from the already converted AVI format rather than straight from the DVD.

[Robbie]

OK I got the one you reccomended, 1hr16mins

[kk.]

well thats still a decrease :P.
what film are you doing? i dont know whats up then. Mine never took that long

[Robbie]

Mines Lee Evans Live at the o2. (2hrs25mins)

[kk.]

ahh, its probably just the length then. Shorter films will do it faster... obviously :P

good choice btw

[Robbie]

Yeah I saw it live at the M.E.N though :P

Great program i have used for years - Win AVI converter

Couldnt say a bad word about it.

[Carlsta]

I use

DVDVideoSoft Free Studio

Its quite good quality aswell when it converts (Y)

[Robbie]

OK I used WinAVI MP4 Converter and it's great. It converted my 2hr25mins AVI to MP4 in 20mins with good quality and a 640mb file.

Thanks and +rep for all help people.
