How to convert AVI videos?


Convert videos with MediaCoder:

(If Flash is installed, you can watch a video inside this web page.)

Some notes about the videos:

  • Video Bitrate: higher bitrate → higher quality and bigger filesize. lower bitrate → lower quality and smaller filesize. try values between 1000 and 2000.
  • Preset: fast, faster → faster conversion, lower quality. slow, slower → slower conversion, higher quality.
  • Audio: if you don't use audio at all uncheck the “Enabled” checkbox.

Bitrate and Preset are your main values for tuning quality and filesize.
If you want to force a specific filesize you can enabled “Auto Bitrate” and the Video tab and set the desired “Output Size”.

There are tons of options in MediaCoder and it would take hours to explain them all.
Please search on YouTube if you want more detailed informations.
