Hi.
This is my first post to these forums. I have a delicate problem, which I do not quite know how to handle despite two weeks of forum and web searching and I'd be grateful for any help with this.
Here goes: I have filmed a long video for a game project which I have imported and edited in iMovie. It seemed a good idea at the time. Since iMovie cannot export to MPEG, I figured that I'd export as uncompressed AVI and then encode it with TMPEG. Problem was: the movie went black after about two minutes. I figured that this has something to do with the 2GB limitation in AVI, so I checked if iMovie could export to a variant of AVI that would work with larger file sizes. The darned thing couldn't.
Desperate, I exported as uncompressed .DV and even .QT, but have had little success encoding these into MPEG. TMPEG does only accept AVI. What to do? Are there other encoders?
:confused:
I do not have any money to buy software right now, so please do not recommend any pricey stuff.
