Help needed in converting a video!


Recommended Posts

We had a party last night and a couple of bands played so my friend decided to take it all on video with his digital camera. Okay, so what, crappy movie quality and crappy sound quality but at least there's some documentary material of it. :D Now he imported the video to his computer and send it to me, it's in .mov format. And I'm now trying to convert it to something else because I use VirtualDub for editing and it doesn't support .mov.

So first I tried with WinMPG Video Converter but since it didn't work so well (mainly because the video had green stripes in it, I have the trial version) I decided to try out RAD Video Tools. But now I'm getting an error that the sound is missing!

What to do? Is there another good program I could try out? I'm not very good at this yet, I'm just starting to try out different things.. :unsure:

Hmm, that didn't support .mov files. And any of those at divx-digest.com that said would convert mov to avi didn't work well with the sounds. :(

If you have some time (and maybe a little money), QuickTime Authoring can export the video to another format (Y) But I think it only comes with QuickTime Pro though...

Well, money is the one thing I don't have. So that's a no. :no:

Any other ideas?

I would suggest d/ling the trail version of Adobe Premiere. That will import the movie, then you can export to just about anything.

Okay, now I got the trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro and I imported this .mov file, the sound is ok but it shows only 1 frame of the movie for the whole time. I checked the properties of that imported file and it said something like:

Quicktime details:

Movie contains 1 video track(s), 1 audio track(s) and 0 timecode track(s).

Video:

This movie appears to have DROPPED FRAMES.

There is 1 frame with a duration of 21229/500ths.

There is 1 frame with a duration of 21229/250ths.

So what's wrong? Can anyone help me import that file? I have no idea how to do this since I haven't used Premiere ever before.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
