MP4 File conversion

madzombieguy · 16th February 2008, 09:41 PM

Hi there.

Can anyone suggest any free programs worth downloading, that will convert my mp4 files into a suitable video playback format (avi, mpg, etc)?

WinAvi and WinAvi mp4 are easy as hell to use, just click what you want the output file to be and open your source file, good results too. But why do you need to convert them anyway? Mp4 files may possibly be of too small a size to view on a screen larger than a phone or ipod.

edit: If you just want to play them on your pc try playing them through media player classic or VLC, that way you don't need to convert them and lose any quality.
