Converting Quicktime MOV to Avi/DVD
This guide will cover the conversion of both Quicktime MOV content to any format, including AVI and DVD. There is more than one way to do this, but I find this method both simple and reliable. If you're converting Apple HD/H264 content, click here first
Ok lets get started; What you'll need:
Avisynth
Quicktime Alternative
1. After installing the required applications, run notepad through start-->programs-->accessories-->notepad
2. Type in the following
except replace the path and file name to match the location of the file you wish to encode, as shown below:
3. We now need to save as a text file with the avs extension. Click File-->Save As... and give it a name. Make sure you add .avs on the end:
4. That AVS file we just created is a "fake" AVI file, it can be opened just like a normal AVI in many applications, and since the AVI container is so widely supported, your MOV file can now be converted to almost any format.
Depending on what you wish to do with the file, I suggest Virtualdub for converting to AVI, and Tmpgenc or Avi2DVD for DVD-- search the forum for relevant guides.
