AVS Video Converter - techie question

[paul jones]

Hi,

Just used it to convert an AVI to an MOV.

Went for the default settings and it seems to have worked swimmingly.

Which just seems far too easy, esp since Sony Vegas won't output at anything between 3Mps and uncompressed (10Gb per min file size!)

Have I missed anything?

All comments welcome.

AVS is good.

What was the quality like vs the original?

Looked fine. I guess I can't quite believe that in the wierd and wonderful world of video editing something actually does what it says on the tin!

With just one button too.

I have the latest Sony Vegas but prefer Pinnacle Avid & ImToo for decoding as they blow Sony out the water for speed & ease of use, the moral to this is sometimes a $10 prog can be better than one costing $100's. If AVS works stick with it.

I use Iskysoft media convertor, but I use a mac but you can get it for the PC.
It converts any video file or audio file into other types. I use it to convert my mpeg 2 files from my main edit of scenes in premiere to MOV for my site.

I get great quality, full screen video. 30min scene is about 340-400mb not bad consider the quality is great.

Thanks to Kim and John I tried imtoo which converted avchd fine but the problem in paradise came when i put it in CS3 and the colours were drained and fluctuating.

Was told to try Edius 6 (not quite out yet but a demo on their site ) and the damn thing works like a dream.

Thing is it costs ?200+ VAT but spits out any format you chuck into it near enough and the results were solid and good too

Shame Procoder 3 didnt update their software as that worked like a dream too but with AVCHD i had exactly the same problem as outlined at the top

Dont want to fork out ?500 for Sony Vegas but does anyone know what software works seamlessly with AVCHD to drop into CS3 by way of MPEG2 or MT2?

That's amazing!

Pinnacle 14 converts any format to any format with ease but to do HD editing smoothly we found it was best to upgrade our computer to 4GB memory & have 1GB NVIDIA HD graphics card & the results were great.
