*.mov to MPEG 1

[Tomecek]

Hi folks

I have a lot of *.mov video files from my Minolta digital camera and I like to convert them into MPEG 1 in order to make movie from them using Adobe Premiere.

But I don't know which software is able to do that, means convert video into MPEG 1 and audio into something which Adobe Premiere is able to work with, e.g. wav file...

Can you help me please? Thanks!
Tom

premiere will edit quicktime just fine (.mov files)

Try TMPGEnc.

I forgot to add that thereafter I will try to make VCD from it in order to make it playable on standalone DVD player

Tommyknocker: TMPGEnc is able to work with *.mov? I didn't know that, I will try it...

leave them as mov files -- premiere edits qt better than mpeg1 anyday ..

Any questions? You do have the Quick Time Movie Reader Plugin installed, right?

you edit them in premiere FIRST , as mov , then encode them with tmpgenc ..

you can frame serve out of premiere or just encode them as mov or uncompressed avi files for tmpgenc to re-encode as mpeg1 ..

tmpgenc encodes mov files perfectly when plug in is installed as the posters above have suggested ..

Move the Quick Time Reader to the highest priority in Options-->Environmental settings-->VFAPI plugins

It works now, guys... thank you

Just for my information. I took *.mpg from TMPGEnc and put it into Adobe Premiere and converted into *.avi. Some 30 seconds of video takes about 11 minutes of converting

Do you know real reason for that? Am I doing any mistake in TMPGEnc setup? Honestly, I do not setup it at all

I make result file as Video-CD PAL (MPEG-1 352x288 25fps CBR 1150 kbps, Layer-2 44100 MHz 224 kbps)
