Title: Is there an video and audio converting program for free?
Post by: FreezeFlame(Alchemy) on February 02, 2014, 18:25:41
Seriously, i just wish to have an free(free with free to use and not having to pay anything for it) video and audio converting program that can convert open source video/audio files (MJPEG, Xivd, Vorbis, ... to OGG Theora, VP3, FLAC, Monkey's Audio, Lagarith, ...).

But please, no free trial, shareware, free to try hokuspokus. There's just to much of it.

Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) is a free and open-source video transcoder. For audio formats, most of them provide simple command-line tools or lamedrop-like interfaces. Just visit the official distribution sites or something like rarewares (http://rarewares.org/).

I find Handbrake better, even when TAudioConverter has more to offer.
Plus, TAudioConverter has an stupid bug (try to do some changes in what is shall convert, and it says that some error happened, everytime), or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks anyway. There hell to find Online (all i see is Free Trial stuff). But may i ask something?

Saga Musix, you mentioned those command-line execution tools. I've been trying to get them to run, but how can i do that?

I really can't tell you more than to read the output of the command line program when not passing any parameters. Usually you'll get a list of supported parameters when doing so.

Try VLC, I've done a bit of video encoding with it and it's free.

I used VLC for awhile, but letting it convert media files is troublesome (i used it originaly for converting AAC files to FLAC, didnt knew it could handle converting Video files, or does it not support converting videos to different formats :-\?).

Anyway. i'll stick with Handbrake.

Thanks for the sugestions thou :).
