greg Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi there, I've been trying to get a video clip converted from WMV to AVI so that I can bring it into A:M. I've tried Movie Maker, which I understand from another thread here that it probably won't work, Ulead Video Studio and Virtual Dub. Working with the A:M support people they suggested I might try a more standard codec than the ones used, Virtual Dub uses Microsoft DIB and the Ulead codec was not obtained by AVICODEC. Does anyone know of a rendering package which will create an AVI movie which A:M can bring in? Or, can someone tell me how to change the CODEC on the packages I am using? I can't seem to find a place to change the COODEC to one of the ones suggested by the help desk, MS Video 1 or Cinepak. Thanks, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralfaz Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Greg: I prefer to use Sony Movie Studio. It around $100 US for it and you can download a 30 day free trial from the link below. http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/downlo...ep2.asp?DID=613 It will allow you to load a .wmv video file (or .mov or whatever), and save it to many different formats, including uncompressed AVI, DVAVI, etc. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 You could try Super (free)...or maybe one of the other converters on this page. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorf Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Video Studio can output an AVI. Try using "uncompressed" first, then work your way through the other codecs to see what works with A:M. edit: Make sure you aren't using the "DV" codec. If you must use DV, use DV type 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thanks for all the help. I'll look at these. In the mean time I found a package called Video Cleaner, which is $30 with a 30 day trial with watermark and two minute limit. So far I have been able to use the short movie I created with this one. I'll test drive the other suggestions also. Thanks again, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven547 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 A good place to go for video codes is PCWORLD.com ( I believe that's the website). They have a ton of downloads for free. They also have programs and some are video editors that are free (might be limited use, but they do the job). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
