converting video types

[dunefreak]

OK, so I recently got a decent little camcorder. I tried uploading the video clips and they are MPEG2 and are Winamp Media Files. For some reason my Winamp POS player won't even play them. Is there a way to convert them to WMV (Windows Media Player) type files. That way I can edit them in Windows Movie Maker as well. I know there is a way. Me and SandSnake went through this crap with our Havasu video last year. We uploaded this DIVX converter and for some reason that isn't working for m either.

Is ther ean easier way to get these to work with Windows Media?

You can't just open them for WMP? Are you missing the mpg codec or does it just not open?

I'm a big winamp fan =\

I think I am mising the codec, whatever that is.

It opens with WMP, but all there is is sound- no video.

Try this one. we use it in converting all sorts of video files. this is a free version. Its a trial so you can see if it works. I dont know how many uses you get, but the full version is like $25

I wish I could help with this one. I have a Mac so it is different. I download from my camera via firewire to Imovie then export to Quick Time. Then add it to IDVD.

Don't mean to crash on Pete's post here,

but I got a video question and I can't help you out on yours Pete.

I want to edit and crop a video that has a .VOB extension.

It opens in windows media player.

I'd like just parts of the video.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Is there an inexpensive program for this type of editing?

One that's free, or free and comes with some cold beer would be fine too.

I thought I'd ask DDR. There's lots of Tech knowledge here.

Thanks,

The first one on the list called JetAudio is freeware...just not sure it'll do the file types you want.
