Need Help Uploading/Converting A Camtasia Video

dv8 · 10-03-2009, 11:18 PM

I made a Camtasia video and I've been trying to upload it to my site using FLV Producer. But FLV Producer requires a avi. video. The Camtasia video is an mp4.

I found a setting in Camtasia to save in avi. format and redid the video. But it still appears to be in mp4 format.

How can I convert the video to something else? Is there any free software out there?

I have Windows Movie Maker but I can't use it since my video card is disabled. And I can't enable it or my computer will get messed up. Long story. I have HP to thank for that.

All I want to do is host the video on my website. I can't use YouTube because it's a video for paying customers. And I don't want to mark it private in YouTube and then have to give out the password to every customer. Not familair with Amazon S3 either. Although now would be a good time to learn it.

Any help is appreciated.

There isn't too much free software out there that will convert from one format to another easily. Keywords being "free" and "easily".

You can find some great tutorials at VideoHelp.com - Forum, Guides, Tools and hardware lists.
But...it's techie as hell on that site.

Personally, I ran into this same problem before. Someone here recommended the unlimited subscription at AVS4YOU Best multimedia software on today's market. and I took the plunge. It gives you access to ALL their various audio/video/burning/conversion software libraries for the rest of your life for a one-time $59. I can personally vouch for all their software...it rocks.

The other option is to keep an eye on Giveaway of the Day - free licensed software daily. Today: TubeHoarder - TubeHoarder captures video content from your web browser so you can re-watch it without having to download it repeatedly from .... I picked up a free copy of WonderShare that is also quite good. Not as good as On2 Flix Pro...but it gets the job done.

If you saved your project you should be able to render the video again in other formats. I made you a little video that may help.... See below

YouTube - Camtasia Custom Settings for file type

Hope this helps
