Video Copy & Convert Help

[syuk]

Hi,

I am new with Creator 9 special Edition. On app i tried to use is to convert my .AVI file to Mpeg-2 file. Here is my problems:

1. Every time I start VCC I have to go thru the format selection again (did not remember my previous session) but that is OK if I can set default to "NTSC (29.97 fps)" option instead of "PAL(25 fps)". Most of us in north america use NTSC. How do I set it as default option?

 

2. After "Save As..." and finish convert, I want to convert another video file without having to exit and restart VCC again. Is there a way? Better yet is there a way to "Batch" convert video file from one format to another without whole lot of trouble? The reasons are that my .AVI files are rather large files (20+ GB) for home video of 1-2.5 hrs and I can't archive to removable storage device like DVD (bluray still very very expensive option) and such.

 

3. I want best video quality when convert .AVI file, what is the best output format option (MPeg-2, MPeg-4, divx, etc?) that compress file size and still keep good quality video?

 

Any idea? Thank for all your help.

You have Creator 2009 SE…

 

VCC will remember the settings of the last one you used. Change the settings, complete a conversion and it should remember. – You may have to Save a project to get it to stick.

 

I would expect Drag & Drop Covert would be better suited to your needs.

 

AVI is best - mpeg2 will degrade it the less than the others.

Thanks Jim,

Saving project or compilation it saved, but I can't replace new video file. VCC grays out "Add Movies..." option. you should try. I think it miss behave badly. The general idea is to convert video file from one format to another in this case .avi to .mpeg-2. And that also the question of "Batch" so that if I have many .avi files, i just tell it "Convert" each file one after the other without having to wait for each to finish and load another. I don't know if Creator 2009 SE have such option, but would be handy and useful feature. I would be quite disappointed if they don't have this feature.
