I am having a problem, and have been having this issue since the US Open last year; a lot of the clips that I kept cutting (from the middle of 2008 till the end of it) with
K-Multimedia Player, I was saving in
MP4 format. Well, the idea was to bring the MP4 clips into After Effects and render the highlights from there. For some reason my After Effects however doesn't support MP4, so I have to convert to AVI;
but, what happens is that when I try to convert all of these MP4s to AVI, WMV, or re-save them as MP4 again, the programs that I use
crash or give me codec-problem message, error, etc." The programs I tried for conversions are SUPER, FORMAT FACTORY, and AVIDEMUX.
I've spent many hours on this already, and don't know how much more I will: So, how about this.... If anyone of you can successfully convert the MP4 clips I have of about 10-15 matches then I can give you the files, you convert them and make the highlights, or you can convert them and send them back to me as AVIs so I can make the highlights. Anyone interested in that?
Here is a 1.81MB test file in MP4 format. The clip is from 2008 10 Paris Indoor, Federer vs. Nalbandian: We don't have highlights of that one yet. Try to convert it to AVI, WMV, or something else and tell me if you're getting errors or not. Thanks.
