Best software to compress video files and dvd's?

[Guest wingnutLP]

Hi, I have tried a search and also tried virtual dub which was a bit complex!

I seem to remember that years ago there was a nice simple program for converting video into PPC resolution that worked with most video files... But I can't remember what it was called! :lol:

Does anyone have suggestions for good software that is easy to use adnd supports a range of formats?

Thanks!

I used to use DVD Decrypter and AutoGordianKnot. That process worked well for me.

Thanks people!

Pocket DVIX encoder was the one I was thinking of but I will definately give some of the others a go.

Thanks all,

DVD s seem fine with Handbrake http://handbrake.fr/?article=download

Or with spb mobile dvd.

But Spb only gives a green screen when you try with a wmv.

Fair use wizard is DVD only and so is Handbrake...

Can anyone suggest a program for converting WMV's to wmv's of a smaller size or other video files?

Thanks :lol:

I use WisMencoder. It's very easy.

[Guest AJBopp]

Format Factory is by far the best of any free OR paid app.

For which device u r looking?

If your device support H.264 then mediacoder is best and its free (google it). I have attached here the preset for my Touch Diamond. you can load and use it dierectly to convert you videos.

At 300kbps H.264 video and 48kbps AAC+ audio, I get the best result. I can compress a full 2 hour movie into around 250~300mb

Just change the resolution in 'Picture' tab as per your device's screen.

Hope this will help.

IMTOO 3gp Converter also works in a very good way.. I convert most of the videos using this.. not a freeware though
