Now I’d like to share important tips for you to choose the right converter. It includes two parts:

Part 1: Tips for choosing the right video converter:

Tip 1: The format that the converter supports.
The most powerful video converter software must support as many video file formats as possible such as the common formats (avi, mpeg, wmv, mov, divx mp4,etc), and also the HD videos(HD TS, HD MTS, HD M2TS, , HD MP4, HD WMV,etc) as its input and output video formats. The audio files (AAC, AC3, AIFF, AMR, AU, FLAC, MP3, M4V, MP2, OGG, WAV, WMA. etc) also must be included as its input and output formats. Check out if all the necessary encoders and decoders are included in the software.

Tip 2: The video conversion speed.
A lot of converters support all the possible video formats, but they are really slow and sometimes they freeze causing a lot of frustration. Many video converters do not support multithreading and batch conversion making the process of video conversion a pain. Batch conversion will allow you to convert more than one video files at the same time.

Tip 3: The quality of the converted media file.
Many iPod video converters are really fast but the output is disappointing. Video freezes, audio stops playing, screen turns red or green, short audio or video breaks during playback. This is common for some video converter, especially when you don’t know how to use the conversion process properly. Be careful when adjusting video size, bit rate etc.

Tip 4: The friendly user interface
The user interface must be friendly and designed in a way that will allow even a total newbie to access all the controls and functions of the video converter software. If a software company creates a user friendly video converter, chances are that the video converter will work properly apart from being user friendly.

Tip 5: The advanced video editing functions.
Most of the time we just not only want to convert the video into another format, but we also want to edit it while converting. Split segments randomly or exactly, set video effect and deinterlacing, merge files into one, crop video play region to retain what you want, capture highlights, customize output settings are all the basic editing functions. Check out if the converter has these functions when choosing a video converter. Be sure to use the preview feature if any, to see the output result before converting.

Ok, if considering about these, I think any of you can choose the right Video Converter. And for the Mac users, you can also choose the right Mac Video Converter.

Part 2: Tips for choosing the right DVD converter:

Tip 1: Information about converting a DVD
Converting a DVD refers to converting the audio or video data from a DVD format to a digital copy on your hard disk.

Tip 2: The right type of the DVD converter
If you use a DVD converter, it will compress the video into mpeg-4, avi, DivX, or Ogg Theora. If you use a DVD audio converter, it will compress the audio from the dvd into a format such as mp3, wav, or ogg. To completely convert a DVD you will either need both a DVD audio ripper and a video ripper, or you will need a DVD ripper that does both audio and video ripping.

Tip 3: The portable devices that the output file support
Not only are there DVD converters to convert a DVD to a format your PC can deal with, but there is now even a DVD converter that allows you to put a DVD onto a video iPod, iPhone, iPhone OS 3.0, PSP, Zune, Creative Zen, Wii, etc.

Tip 4: The converting speed
The speed which your dvd ripper can work depends on several factors. One of the big factors is the drive speed. For instance an 8x drive will have the capability of converting the DVD 8 times faster than the DVD will play. Another factor that will effect how fast your DVD converter goes is cpu speed. If you have a slow cpu that will make it so the DVD converter cannot keep up with the drive and will cause a slowdown.

Tip 5: The cleanness of the converter
Nobody likes to have something useless or harmful when downloading the software. So be sure there are no adware, spyware, virus when downloading a software.

Well, take these into consideration, this DVD to Video Converter deserves our try. And for the Mac users, Mac DVD Ripper can be regarded as the best one on Mac.

Hope these tips can be helpful.

   1. Get DVD conversion software that works for you. None of it is perfect. Some AVI to DVD conversion programs might be intuitive and easy for you, but someone else may hate them and vice versa. The best way to find the right DVD conversion software is to download several evaluation copies, try them, and then buy the one that works best for you. One fantastic program is Convert Genius; this program is excellent because it allows you to work with multiple formats, not just AVI.

   2. Some evaluation versions of AVI to DVD are cripple-ware. Cripple-ware means that some functionality is disabled, so you can’t tell whether the real thing fully works or not. Burning less than 100% of the movie to DVD is a common way to cripple a trial version. Other DVD conversion software trials expire after a short time or a limited number of uses. In a trial, expect something that has less usefulness than the full copy, but not so little that you cannot get a good evaluation. Some video conversion programs have no evaluation version. Consider these last, if at all.

   3. Try some AVI to DVD video editing standard features. Most programs will lay out a timeline and then let you open up and drag media files (movies, sound files, etc.) to a timeline where you can string pieces together to create your own movie. The video conversion software should let you trim elements, overlap them, fade in and out and do other transitions, adjust sound levels, and then add chapter marks so you can jump to specific spots in the final DVD you burn, just like you can with a commercial DVD.

      Do you plan to put some still pictures in the .AVI movie you will burn to DVD? If so, please be aware that not all the software listed will do that. Does the program accommodate AVIs? If not, don’t buy it. Does it handle MPG and other common formats? If not, don’t bother. Do you run Windows XP? At least one program listed above requires XP. You cannot use it at all on Windows 2000. convert avi to dvd

   4. Look at three things: ease of use, features, and price. If an AVI to DVD conversion program is so complex and difficult that you will never learn it well enough to actually produce anything useful, it’s the wrong video editing software for you. Whatever you choose must, at minimum, have the critical features you need for your movie. If you do not intend to become an expert at creating movies, you may not need too many features. But if you cannot string together all the things you want in your movie, you should find another video conversion program. And if you would never be able to afford the video editing program, it is the wrong program for you. If this is your first attempt at burning a DVD, don’t spend too much. You don’t even know if you will like making your own movies. I enjoy it, but you may find it to be drudgery, and you may never use the program again.

   5. Eliminate the AVI converter programs that are wrong for you, and you hopefully have a few (or at least one) AVI to DVD programs left. Choose the best balance of features and ease of use that you can afford. That is your program.

   6. A word of caution: some video converter programs do a poor job of keeping picture and sound synchronized. Your movie may start out looking and sounding good, but by the time you string a significant number of large elements together, there will be a delay between picture and sound. Your movie will look like some poorly dubbed B-grade foreign flick. Also, make sure the DVD you create will actually play in a DVD player, not just in your computer.

   7. I really need to point out some cool AVI converter freeware. Download and use VirtualDubMod. It is currently at SourceForge.net. Find it with a Web search. It is a free editor that can trim your movies, clean up the sound, enhance the picture, and convert to different formats. It is not the easiest thing, and you may need to go find some CODECs (Coder-Decoders) to be able to edit the particular movie format you have, but it is very powerful. And again, it is free. It may provide some features that your movie-editing program lacks.

   8. I caution you one last time to be careful that you don’t get ripped off. I certainly have been, and I thought I was being careful. Buy the best program you can afford.

So your .MP4 files should go into E:\MP_ROOT\100MNV01, where E:\ is the drive letter of your Memory Stick. You also need a PC, as the converter software does not work with Macs. This MP_ROOT directory structure is directly cribbed from Sony’s UX/VZ Clie PDA series, which also plays MPEG-4 videos.
