AVI to MPEG-4

[pams]

Hi,
New at this.

I'm trying (really hard...) to convert an avi to mpeg4 (for my Ipod), using MPEG Streamclip. But when I load a avi-file to start the conversion, there's no picture on the screen.

Anyone knows why? Or have a better idea of how to to this for free?

Thanks!

MPEG StreamClip use only QuickTime.
Not use VfW codecs or DirectShow.
Can decode AVI files compressed by Cinepak, Indeo 3/4 (not 5), uncompressed RGB.
Uncompressed YV12 and most MPEG-4 codecs not decode in MPEG StreamClip (QT).
But... try install 3viX - contain plugin for QuickTime (then Qt and MPEG Streamclip can decode example DivX and Xivd).

This is no ADVANCED conversion. Moving you.

Can you play the .AVI file in Media Player Classic? You'll find it here:

I like to install MPC using these Alternatives:

Next install Haali Media Splitter:
