Some questions

Post by Kroell » Thu Apr 01, 2004 11:05 am

Does anyone know any free programs that can convert an AVI into a quicktime file?

How do you recontruct (make it lossless) a file that is already compressed with lossy codec? I know it will loose a significant amount of quality, but for my purposes it doesn't really matter right now.

For your second question - you don't really reconstruct it, you can just convert it to a lossless codec. How? Go to http://www.doom9.org/ and get yourself VirtualDub and HuffYUV codec - then you can use VDub to convert your files to Huffy in a fairly straightforward fashion. Converting to Huffyuv doesn't add to the losses, but there aren't many ways you can make the video quality better.

Get familiar with VirtualDub. It's your all-purpose conversion and compression friend :)

As for QT - now that I don't know...
