We burn our worship services to DVD and need some software that can rip the video and convert it to web-ready format for podcasting. What do people use for this?
Our present freeware solution leaves us with out-of-sync sound and quality issues. We're ripping with bitRipper then converting with Windows Movie Maker to web format (Windows media). There has to be a better way. We have a volunteer doing this, so it needs to be not too difficult. We're willing to pay to do it right! - Last Edit: 17 years 8 months ago by Cubfan.

I just used one that does exactly what is says that it does and is 50 bucks. It's from isofter.com I got the deluxe version. I paid for it and had it in abotu 5 minutes. Works perfectly. You can produce all supported formats outside of FLV. But, wtih Joomla!'s built in media component publishing 640x480 crystal clear streaming media is a snap.
I have no affiliation with that company. They are China based, I think. Anyway, the product works and is cheap.

cubfan, what you're looking for is
this
to encode your video into flv format. It's absolutely free and i've used it with great success.
Use the allvideos plugin available here to embed your video in content items

QuickTime Pro is a must have utility for handling video in my opinion. It is very simple and easy to use. It has more power than it appears to have at first glance. It handles a wide variety of formats--except Window Media (unless you buy flip4mac). It is a bargain at 29.95 and there are versions for Mac and Windows.

I'll try that Riva encoder.
I'm not a big fan of Quicktime because of all the garbage it installs on your system whenever you just want to watch/listen to a stream. I'm constantly having to go into regedit to delete the software it installs to run everytime I turn on my computer, and there is no option in that software to disable or uninstall.
I'm wondering what might be good for ripping our DVD. The bitRipper software we're using now has sound sync issues when we're done.

I had the allvideos plugin installed, but couldn't figure out how or what to do with it. I'm using WysiwygPro, and I had no icons, buttons, or anything when I was editing content. Dunno... maybe I missed something somewhere.
Added: DUH! Reinstalled the mambot and read the instructions more carefully. It managed to sink in this time. Couldn't be easier, and works great. - Last Edit: 17 years 9 months ago by Cubfan.

Ah--as a Mac user, I wouldn't know that! That being said, the books on video that I have read highly recommend QuickTime Pro (Which has quite a bit more going on than QuickTime) highly for Windows and Mac Users. It is a phenomenal tool--with lot's of depth and versatility hidden in the export dialogue box!

Good to hear you got allvideos working cubfan
i totally agree with you about quicktime. i have a deep rooted dislike of the darned program for the exact reasons you mentioned.
i also dislike embedded wmv in websites because some browsers try to auto download it on page load (or maybe it's just my firefox settings.)
2 thumbs up for the riva/flv/allvideos combination - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

QuickTime as file format is one thing, but QuickTime Pro as a video file converter is another. You don't need to export as Quicktime--I don't. The attachment shows the options. Within each of those formats there are many many output options.
