This is driving me to ****ing insanity

[Ravioli]

I have spent the last 1 hour and 30 minutes searching the endless internet for a simple ****ing program that will convert Quicktime (.mov) files to either WMV or AVI files...BUT ITS ****ING IMPOSSIBLE!


90% of the programs have either disgusting water marks, or they only convert HALF of the video and demand you buy the program. The other 10 % simply dont ****ing work, they dont even have the right formats i want to convert too.


I need my project to be done tomorrow morning, and i cant spend all night looking for god damn converter program...this is driving me insane.


Anyone know any?

Avidemux does it, it's free as well!

If VLC Player plays .mov files, which I suspect it does, it can convert them to MPEG using the Transcode feature.

VLC is very iffy with .mov files. A lot of times it will play video but not sound.

KagePrototype, can you go through step by step on how to do it?

I cant figure out do do it on VLC either


Omg im going to kill myself anymoment now. Ive been looking for ages...


EDIT:

FINALLY i found one. RAD Video tools. Jesus ****ING Christ i hate Pixologic for making .Mov files the only renderoutput...and **** YOU Apple

Yes. **** you apple

KMP and GOM media player both play mov. files - unsure if the codec is built in or separate dl.

Zoom player will play Mov. files, and it has the codec built in.

I suffered the same issue as you.

Guess what I did, I downloaded Sony Vegas Pro trial, imported the movie in and converted it to avi as an actual project. Pretty pathetic but it does the trick.
