AVI to MP4

[ferniesnow]

Needing some help and/or advice regarding the title.
New dash camera is recorded in AVI and I can’t view it on my computer. It needs an App for conversion to MP4.
What is recommended from the S&M wizards?

Mac or Windows Computer Doug?

Sorry. A Mac.

I would install VLC media player. It’s free and will play most video formats without issue. I have tried to find conversion software before and end up with a lot of adware. Maybe hang tight and see what others recommend first as I am not the most tech savy person but this should work for you.

Thanks.
Yes, the adware and other BS stuff is the reason I posted this. I am not tech savvy and for these types of things it is good to get various opinions.

Where did you purchase the camera?
Maybe they can help or point you in the right direction..?

Yes, but I was looking for some “real time” comments from users of apps. Not that I don’t appreciate your comment.
I looked at a lot of them already on YouTube and decided not to be in a rush and download a piece of crap.

You dont need to down load them. You can use them online. But do what ever you figure...

Don’t they come as Apps?
Remember, I am as old as dirt and not very tech savvy.

No like I said. Google "AVI to MP4 online free" then the will be a square or something that will say select file.

Pic the file you want to convert, a few seconds later your file will be converted. You down load that and you have the file.

No need to download the app.

Tried the two you suggested. They are very slow to download and fart around and seem to stop playing in a short period of time. Is that because of the 1 GB limit?

Reading the fine print, this is $49.95 US per month. Did I miss something?
There was a place where it said it was free but then why would they want credit card information?

My “Finder” tells me 524.3 MB. All the .mov are the same MB for whatever reason and all the jpeg images are 729 Kb

Should work, but maybe its a Mac thing. Im PC, so maybe thats why.


Im out of bright ideas, but im sure one of the mac guys can get you pointed in the right direction.
