What video transcoder?

[dbunder]

I've always used virtualdub to convert videos to different formats or transcode them to a smaller size. Problem is, to my knowledge, you can't put in a target filesize for it to transcode to.

I got MediaCoder to try out, and while nice, it won't let you do that either.

What I'm looking for is a transcoder that'll allow you to input a target filesize, and it'll take into consideration your audio (be it cbr or vbr) and properly transcode your file to the right size.

Anything out there? Or should I just use a bitrate calculator and CBR for my transcoding?

Thanks much for any help.

Try autogk. Make a search in the forum and you'll find a lot of info about it. Is simple and very good. And free. :D

enjoy,

Installed it earlier. Seems really nice. But I don't see an option to specify the size of the final video file. Is there one and I'm just missing it? If it has it, it's my transcoder of choice. Now, if only it could output x264... ;)

Yes, you forgot the glases, because the final size option is there in the program at Step 3. Use them. ;)
