[vet-mm] Video Encoding Software

[Andrew Shortell]

Hi Kate

I also always install Flip for Mac (free version) so I can play back .wmv on my macs (as well as Perian - mentioned in another post)

I have been experimenting with  "Any Video Converter"  free in app store - as I have been frustrated in the past when i have had students film on their mobile phones and the files come in to the machine in formats that I cannot use

At Home I use Handbrake to convert .avi ,  .mkv files to .mp4 for playback on appletv through iTunes

VLC player is also a great open source player which often does a better job than quick time at handling other codecs.

We have been encountering numerous problems with the import files using Macs. Even  though the files are .avi, they don’t playback in Premiere on the MAC (of course they work perfectly fine on my Windows PC). Anyway, upon further reading of the official UoC it mentions in the range statement that MovieMaker may be used.
