K-7 video from motion JPEG to a smaller format..

lochest · 01-16-2010, 03:22 AM

My first thread...

What i want is a free and reliable software to convert videos out of k-7 to a smaller format.

So far no luck..Some programs just sees the videos of k7 as a single frame.Dont know why.

But what program should i use to have the best balance between the video quality and size?What programs do you use for kx-k7?

I use FORMAT FACTORY (freeware) - works very well for my K-7 videos (and many others)

I believe the latest version has some eBay module that can raise a false positive with some AV's, so make sure you disable it when you install.

Handbrake

HandBrake

Free and no attached crapware.

Converted a 7 sec. clip to H.264 and reduced it from 36MB to 5MB using the High Profile preset.

There's an old proverb in the video encoding world: "Speed, size, quality: pick two." It means that you always have to make a trade-off between the time it takes to encode a video, the amount of compression used, and the picture quality. Well, this release of HandBrake refuses to compromise. It picks all three.
