AVI to MP4? - ztirffritz - 03-10-2007

Can anyone recommend an application that will convert an AVI file to MP4? QTPro says that it needs a codec of some kind, but doesn't say which one. VLC plays it just fine.

Try ffmpegX

Have you installed Flip4Mac? It enables you to play a bunch of windows media files in QT.

I need to convert the file. Playing it is not a problem.

I downloaded it, but it forced me to run it as administrator. I could not run it as a regular user. I tried to convert the file and it said that it was unrecognized. I'm starting to think that the problem is with the file, not the converters. I'll try to create the file again and change some settings to see what happens.

why are you running your own computer as a limited user?

Sounds like a precautionary step against social engineering attacks.
