You’ve been listening to a video and getting
problems with audio/video synchronisation? This could be mostly due to the fact that your computer cannot handle the video bitrate. What I would recommand you to do is to reencode the video using a lower framebitrate.
And for that matter, the best software I’ve found is called
Mediacoder. Not only it is the best software for transcoding, but it’s
FREE AND
OPEN-SOURCE! Think it couldn’t get better, you’re wrong. This software is also able to transcode from various encoding such as:
- Audio: MP3, OGG/Vorbis, AAC, MusePack, WMA, RealAudio, FLAC, WavPack, APE/APL, WAV
- Video: AVI (Xvid/DivX/H.264), MPEG1/2/4, QuickTime (mov), WMV/ASF, RealMedia (rmvb), MP4, Matroska (mkv)
- CUE Sheets, CD, VCD, DVD
and as the following encoding possibilities:
Supported target audio formats:
- Lossy: MP3, OGG/Vorbis, AAC, AAC+/Parametric Stereo, MusePack, WMA
- Lossless: FLAC, WavPack, Monkey’s Audio (APE), WMA Lossless, WAV
Supported target video formats:
- H.264, Xvid, DivX 4/5, MPEG1/2/4, H.263 etc.
Supported target container formats:
- AVI, MPEG, Matroska, MP4, PMP (PSP Media Player Format)
- Improving compression / reducing file size
- Converting from lossless/high-bitrate audio to low-bitrate audio to play with portable DAP
- Converting to device (mobile phone, PDA, MP4 player, PSP, VCD/DVD player)
- Extracting audio tracks from video clips
- Ripping CD/VCD/DVD
You won’t be dissapointed using this software. I have tried many of the shareware converted and I was dissapointed by the result. Using this “transcoder”, I’ve been able to get the
BEST RESULT and
HAD NO PROBLEM. You’ll understand that many of the sharewares have bugs and are only for a specific X to Y conversion which is generally poor.
With mediacoder, you’ll be using the strenght of the world-reknown
mencoder. So don’t wait any longer, if you want your video conversion to be handled without any hassle, use MediaCoder.

Hi, My name is Chris and I work at Help.com. One of our site members sent me a question and after reading your blog I thought you might have the expertise to help me answer it. Here’s the question: “Where can i download an amv converter? I need to change avi and other video formats into amv format so I can play videoclips in my new MP4 player.” If you have any info on resources to answer this question, I would be appreciative. Thanks!
I’ve done a quick search online and found this forum which might interest your member since it provides an up-to-date software that allows to convert mp4 to amv.
