mp4 to avi conversion

7 replies
Anyone know where I can get a 363 meg mp4 file
converted to avi quickly?

I'd prefer a free solution as this is a one time thing.

I've downloaded several free programs but they all
seem to lock up when I try to import the file. None of
them mentioned a file size limitation in their specs.

Maybe I'm just not being patient on the import? I've
waited as long as 15 minutes.

I've converted a 63 meg file with no problems just to
see if there's a difference.

    You may have trouble finding a free solution that is going to give you
    the performance you're looking for (there are plenty of sites out there)
    because of the file size.

    I have tons of MP4 to AVI sites bookmarked that are free, but I doubt
    they're going to perform any better for you.

    You might want to bite the bullet and run it through something like Camtasia
    to convert it or find somebody who has a latest Camtasia version to do
    it for you.

      You may need to wait the extra time. Depending on the speed of your computer this may take hours.

      If you can't find a solution before the evening is up try letting your computer run during the night while you sleep.

      Also the conversion from mp4 to avi could increase the size of the file dramatically. Again, depending on the speed of your computer this could take many hours for the rendering process to happen.

    You should be able to do it with a free program called "Format Factory":

    Thanks guys... I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and
    upgrade my Zamzar account. I've got it set to 200 meg limit
    right now so I'll just bump it up to 400 meg.

      You could also split (using a free download) the mp4 file up before converting it .avi.

    I am very happy with Super. It is great for converting just about any type of video file with any codec and quality. The best free converter I've come across and the only one I've ever needed after a couple years. SUPER &copy

    This is paid, but I used it. About this time last year I spent 4 hours and could not convert something and was pissed, I got this, in 5 minutes done. I loved it, so then I affiliated for it (if you do want to buy it, my affiliate links on the You Tube page).
