Hi, I saw you mention that you use handbrake to convert video format. Yes, it is really a free, useful and convenient tool. And I also use it often. Besides, here I would like to share another more powerful
Video Converter. Maybe it is another choice for users.
But that one is commercial... IE, at least Active Presenter has a wonderful fully functional totally free version... (I use it a lot as a capturing tool (very good performance), have not yet used its presentation making capabilities... Well, did once for a small thing)
IMO, if one is ready to put 30 bucks in a tool, I'd rather go for Sony's cheapest Vegas video editor. You put like 40 more, but you have a full blown editor that can also export to mp4. And for the mere act of exporting/converting, imo nothing comes easier than handbrake. Just like with any tool, gotta be aware from were you download it, be sure is the author's site, as I have encountered one fake site containing a virus. But then that was definitely non related with the actual author.
Way more complex to use than the easy and great handbrake (for those willing to experiment), and I deeply love them:
Mediacoder and
ffmpeg (this one command line, console only) , they have binaries for the 3 platforms. Waay more complex to use than most stuff out there on the matter, but extremely flexible. I don't feel uncomfortable, as I remember back in the days of MSDOS, plus quite some years with Linux (average user in both console and GUI). The other free command-line tool I like a lot is imagemagik, mostly for image sequences processing. (often combining it with VirtualDub of the like)
I used Bandicam, but the letters on the top started to be really embarassing, so I chose CamStudio
While I use WonderFox Video Converter, faster and more convenient than Leawo...I just want to ask can Leawo
improve video quality by changing bit rate to 60fps, while wonderfox can do it.
povmaniac,
Thanks for posting a link to Open Broadcaster. I was just trying to remember the name of that software the other day. I used it to capture video from a couple of home (super 8 ) movies a couple of years ago. Unfortunately the bulb in the projector I was using went out and I never got around to buying a new bulb for it. It is indeed very good software from what I remember.
Thanks,
oort
Yo, I'm sharing a screen recorder i use - Mirillis Action! (
https://mirillis.com). I hope someone else will also have a good use of it. Unfortunately it's paid. OBS is quite good too, as a free software.
FM Screen Capture Codec is a very fast, lossless video compressor. It can operate in 16, 24 and 32 RGB color modes, supports a temporal compression and provides a good compression ratio.
