    I have 2 video files that I want to convert to AVI that can play on WMP12.

    One has the extension ASF. According to MediaInfo, the format is Windows Media. Is that the container? The video format is VC-1 and video codec is Windows Media Video 9. The audio format and codec is WMA.

    The other has the extension AVI, but MediaInfo says that the format is OGG. Is it an AVI file or an OGG file? The video format is AVC and the video codec is H264. The audio format is Vorbis (never ran across this name before).

    Will I be able to convert these 2 files with VirtualDub or AviDemux? How would I go about doing this?

    Also, can anyone give me like a really brief explanation on containers?

    **Please bare with me as I am a complete newb at all this.

  2. Here's a real simple deal for you:

    Code:
    ffmpeg.exe -i 1stfile.asf -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec libmp3lame -qscale 4  -vtag XVID -bf 2 -g 250 -trellis 1 -ab 128k -y output1.avi
    
    ffmpeg.exe -i 2ndfile.ogm -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec libmp3lame -qscale 4  -vtag XVID -bf 2 -g 250 -trellis 1 -ab 128k -y output2.avi
    Btw, your second file has probably got a wrongly named file extension, it should really be .OGM for that container. The above example gives you AVI files with CBR/128kbps LAME for audio and MPEG-4 ASP (Xvid-compliant) for video; set at quantizer 4.00 (Xvid's default). If you're not satisfied with the quality, you could lower the -qscale (but anything below 2 is probably a bad idea).

    Good luck!

    Or use a ffmpeg frontend like winff or xmedia recode.
