I noticed one trialware that might need adding as of 6.0: DVDFab. The newest one includes a video converter (and it converted even MKV with subs!). I tried the feature with such (848x480 mkv, Aegis Subs on the inside, Subrips on the outside), and it converted flawlessly.

My new favorite for converting anything to AVI, and I mean anything, is Format Factory. What I like most about it is you can configure your output to exactly what you want. So far I've gotten flawless conversions. BUT... you must check your original source & try and make your conversion as close to the original as possible. I use GSpot to get picture size, frame rate & audio, and Media Info to get bit rate. Then I set up Format Factory to get as close a match as I can. The results has always been identical to the original. It especially works great converting MKV's.

I have tried that. I had issues with it on some of my PMPs (Archos 605 and iRiver 120). DVDFab can easily be hacked to fit them in. I'll have to figure out a tutorial for DVDFab.

...and as you can see from my signature, I have a tutorial on conversion with DVDFab. I use the KISS method to explain

Try also, Xmedia Recode. It has nice options of which padding is one. You can reduce a too big clip to fit on your TV screen, so all titles etc. are visible. It's worth it for that alone.

That's not SUPER, unless they've just recently changed it to require some form of registration (doubtful). It sounds as though you told SUPER to use DirectShow, and it's one of your codec filters giving you that message. What video codec did you tell SUPER to use?

Pity, because most of the pay-per format conversion software is rubbish. Converter websites are for those that favour convenience over all other factors, including quality. I would rather have control over what I am getting.
That said, I don't use video dumping grounds like youtube as source material either. |
WOW  guns1inger is totally talkin directly to me! I'm one of those dudes that plunked $ for a converter. I bought Opell's 'Video to avi, etc, etc, 3GP zune converter" to convert files to mostly divx.
Anyway, I've converted mp4 files into "AVI movie-DivX-video interleaved (*.avi)". There were several *.avi file types, didn't know the difference, so chose this one.
The resolution was HORRIBLE!  The original mp4 file had good almost HD resolution. The conversion was washed up, like a haze and totally unwatchable. It didn't look like this program had controls for increasing resolution, either.
Does anyone have experience with this converter? Can the resolution be improved? Can anyone recommend a converter that can convert mp4 to avi and preserving resolution? Freeware is always welcome!
Thanks for the help!

Add XMedia Recode, an excellent free program that allows padding.
