I need this for some mpegs that I need to convert to avi for my Avid Xpress DV system. I've looked a few places but really don't know where to look I guess. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
It most has to do with the codec you use as to how "good" the conversion will be... ive had identical results using VirtualDub and a number of other programs with various codecs...
The best MPEG-4 (.avi) codec available right now to my knowledge is the XviD 2.xx... make sure you get a stable version, though, as it is constantly in development... other options are the Divx codecs... the most recent of which is Divx 5 Pro... Doom9 has a guide on how to remove the GAIN spyware that comes with it.
