| Hi Have a look at www.videohelp.com on the left side of the screen you have a link to tutorials about a lot of video issues, including format conversion. There are several packages but I think you'll find something interesting and comments on the package you consider. |
| I usually use SUPER for this

| mp4 can be played by Quicktime. Quicktime pro can also convert files I believe...

| I extracted the mp4 into a avi file. Now when I try to open it window explorer crashes. What am I doing wrong |
| where would I find these codec and what would I need to do with them |

You can DL codecs here . Don't install them all only what you need. If you DL Gspot it will let you know what codec a file uses. After all of this i'd try to convert the file with Super as stated above.

| Response to a PM... Using Super....mostly it´s straight forward, and I use it for several different conversions. It´s basically a simple interface...click onto the conversion you want, but sometimes you will have to tweak the settings if the defaults don´t do it right...therefore a bit of fiddling around. If you really know what you are doing, then it´s probably easier... Something like 1) select output container 2) select video codec 3) select audio codec Drag and drop your file to be converted...click "encode" Test the result...adjust frame rates, bitrates etc... Been a while since I´ve done this one, so exact settings...? May vary according to the specs of your starting file...Play around....should get it right eventually.
