  • Best way to convert .mov to .wmv or .avi

    Posted by Brett Putman on July 15, 2010 at 6:09 pm

    The title pretty much says it all.
    I am trying to export via FCP using either the .wmv or the .avi formats and the results that I am getting are nothing short of awful.

    I usually just export using 422 and H.264 but I have a special situation that I have to deal with this time around.

    Did VLC.
    Looks jacked up still.
    Random color flashes and compression artifacts.

    MPEG Streamclip or Episode are doing a really good job!

    Get yourself some real compression software – you have to have it in this business.

    Flip4MAC works great for me. I have never had issues with it. Plus you can create custom presets in Compressor then and store for later use.

    For me MelodyCan is the best software for different players. It can remove drm and convert files to different formats. You can try it_))
