Converting mp4s to avis?

[Darksong17]

I can only find certain RAW footage in mp4 format. Would converting them to avi with a program work? If so, how would I go about converting? Are there free converters somewhere?

I'm not sure of a program but you can convert using VDubMod via AVISynth. Most of the MP4s I have work using ffmpegsource found at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127037

Place the file into your AVISynth plugins folder and it should load. Just use the following in your script.

Code: Select all

ffmpegsource("pathtofile/filename.mp4")

And that is all she wrote.

You can also demux the H.264 stream and index it with DGAVCIndex. It's still kinda in development, but I've had success. I'm using YAMB to demux the MP4.
