Video Converters?

which kind of mpeg are the videos? there are several different versions. i suppose its some mpeg4 derivate. as i recall there are several GUIs for ffmpeg which was always relieable.

I'm surprised Premiere can't recognise your files. It definitely supports MPEGs, although I guess that covers a lot of different sub-types.

Anyway, a great program for converting just about any video format to any other video format is Super. It's been around (and evolving) for years, and I really can't think of anything that comes close — particularly considering that it's free.

Virtual Dub? It's pretty good, too

I wouldn't say Virtual Dub comes close, and it's not really a dedicated converter anyway — it doesn't support many formats, including WMV. It's more of a post-processing tool, which Jaboo already has Adobe Premiere for (and that can do it infinitely better).

Yeah, because WMV is a) ultra-proprietary and b) lame and as for the other codecs, you just have to install them to use them (DivX, xVid, Ogg/Theora/Vorbis, etc.)

Sure, but as I said: if you're looking for pure video conversion there's really no equal to Super. That's why I recommended Super and not VirtualDub.

It's not that VirtualDub is bad — I've used it occasionally for years. It's just that Super does what Jaboo wants much better.

Okay
