Video Converter

[Krystal]

Are there any good video converters out there? Ones that convert the formats that are found on this site with the subs (meaning the subs don't disappear after the conversion). I'm looking for one that converts videos into a h.264 format for my iPod touch so I can watch my anime on the go. I've tried many converters, but I've only found one that worked before, but it constantly crashes now. If anyone can please help!

I've used "Handbrake".  It's free and there is a bunch of documentation on the site.  http://handbrake.fr/

For iPod video conversion specifically, back when I actually put videos on my iPod Video, I used Videora iPod Converter. It could have changed its name since, as it's been a few years since I last used it.

Does anyone know a good software for converting MKVs and OGMs to the AVI format?  I'd like to get some stuff on my PS3, and I think that only takes AVIs.

You can try format factory.

I also use format factory for converting files, before that I used AllToAvi don't know which's better though (Format Factory is more universal though).

About as simple as it gets, but doesn't quite work for a few encodes (mainly Underwater, I notice that their stuff tends to fail conversions). I'm not sure if it outputs h.264, but it's what I use for my iPhone. You can up the resolution for the iPad, probably.

Mainly for convenience. Rather than set the files individually, i drag the entire folder into it and set the first file. Since all the animes are pretty much built the same, if i set the first file to h264, 2500kbps, audio track #0, subtitle #0. The rest of the videos will follow suit.

Handbrake has better compatibility (More control on the encoding profiles if you know what you're doing), but having to set it one by one (It doesn't select the right subtitles and audiotracks automatically) and adding your videos to a queue can be a pain.

Any Video Converter is good, you can choose audio track and subtitles if its dual audio aswell. Only problem is sometimes if the files not perfect it messes up the av synce so you'll have audio thats a few seconds behind video. converts all my videos to ipod decently though

Is there anyway to do soft subs with it?
