Hello,
I have some MPEG-2 video clips that have been edited using Pinnacle Studio 9, and I need to convert them to a format suitable for tablets. I have been advised to go for AVI.
The point is that when I try "Make Movie" in Studio 9, and select AVI:
the options given are limited, and the quality of the converted videos is much lower than the original (a huge reduction in quality).
Could someone kindly advise me on this: is AVI better than MP4 for tablets?
And, if AVI is the right choice, what would be the best settings.
The MPEG-2 Files (converted from DVD's VOB files using ffmpeg) have the following values:
Video:
size 720 x 576 (3/4)
frame rate: 25
bit rate: 4000 kbps (variable)
Audio:
MPEG Layer II
Channel: Stereo
Bit Rate: 192 kbps
Sample Rate: 48 KHz
In Studio 9, when selecting AVI, the values given are:-
VIDEO
Compression: PICVideo MJPEG Compressor
Width: 720
Height: 576
Frames/Second 25
AUDIO
Type:PCM
Channels: 16-bit stereo
Sample Rate: 48kHz
Thank you in advance,
David

'
i use FREESTUDIO's 'Free MP4 Video Converter'
i use it to convert edited .ts files (using Avidemux)
and it does well for my apple devices
.ts = transport stream (recorded TV shows, edited to remove commercials)
been doing it that way for years now -
Thank you for your reply. I am downloading "Free Studio" and will give it a try.
But is AVI the right format for tablets (using Windows)?
I would appreciate some guidance here. Thanks!Last edited by tetrahall; 5th May 2014 at 01:02.

Or just get VLC media player for your android or ios tablets. It can play most formats directly.
But if you want to shrink then convert to MP4/M4V (with h264 video and aac audio) using for example handbrake, vidcoder, xmedia recode. No annoying adware like the freestudio installation...
Don't use any avi format.
