    Hi all ... Well I have all these camera recorded MP4 video files which I'd like to re-encode into XviD AVI format ... I normally use VirtualDub for all video related procedures but VirtualDub doesn't by default support MP4's (I know there are workarounds but they dont product good results for me) ..

    So I have tried a few small 'format conversion' program for converting MP4 to AVI, but they all give choppy/blocky AVI videos .. The results videos have parts in them which remain 'constant' for 2-3 seconds and then suddenly change (going from one keyframe to another directly) ..

    I need a tool/program (free or otherwise) which can give good outputs and supports batch conversion (since I have a lot of MP4s and would like to run the same job on all videos) ..

    Any recommendations ?

    Why? But seriously, use Xmedia Recode just play around with the settings to get the best possible quality. You can add all the projects and it will do one after the other.

    If you concern with quality, use H264 codec instead. XviD is dying

    Just curious, since I use Virtualdub (with Quicktime plugin) to convert MP4s without issue: could you be more specific about the not-good results you're getting? Maybe it's easily fixable.

    Best,

  7. VirtualDub with the DirectShow plug-in works great for me - MP4 and use ffdshow to recompress.
