Video Conversion Software

[jain_ashish85]

Hi,

I have been using Format Factory for converting videos across formats
and also to convert videos to phone resolutions.
It takes a very long time to convert which is equivaltent to duration of
the video at times even more.
It took 3 hours to convert a movie of length 2 hours.
Is this the same with other convertors?
Are there any other convertors which are faster?
I use both windows or Linux(ubuntu)

Only freeware please ;-)

use SUPER.

speeds will be dependent on your machine. and how many cores it has.

RipBot264 1.17 - VideoHelp.com Downloads

StaxRip

Long time user of both of these tools, quite fast.

Conversion depends on the machine as well as the type of encoding, encoder, codec, etc you are using; as a general guide, one pass will be the fastest, 2-pass will almost double the time, and so on.

FormatFactory works good on my PC.It will around 15 mins for a 2 hours movie.

Any Video Convertor?

 

[max_demon]

any converters which use OpenCL ? maybe free.. or cheap ?

I have seen some converters which use CUDA processors and its way faster than normal cpu conversion

OpenGL right? AFAIK, only Adobe After Effects uses it

Format factory, as evrybody said, speed depends on the system itself.

I use Handbrake for converting videos to be played on phone. Does the job very well.

I use xilisoft video converter for converting videos to mobile videos.

Its much faster then handbrake, though my system is powerful enough, yet it takes longer time to convert videos

OpenCL is this Sire Open Computer Language, mostly used by older VLIW architecture based AMD graphics card to do compute oriented workloads, with the advent of GCN in AMD R79** series I think OpenCL will gradually loose its importance --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL.

Now AMD cards can also use CUDA based softwares and will perform in OpenCL area as well. The bone of contention is AMD HD 7970 blew the GTX 580 is CUDA based benches [which were previously biased to nVidia CUDA equipped GPU's].

hope this clarifies things, this what is OpenGL [Open Graphics Library] --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL.

Hope this helped, Cheers!!
