converter *.MOV -> *.MPEG
Anyone know of a BASIC, SIMPLE freeware converter for MOV -> MPEG?
I've tried TMPG, but the output file size is approximately 50 times the input size, for some reason. This is not acceptable

That's because TMPGEnc installs default to compress raw. You need to select a
compression codec.

tmpg does not seem to have option for MOV. I was using RAD video tools instead.
quicktime 6 is the PRO version, not freeware

sbsim, spiderfix:
thanks for your help... I will try your proposed solutions soon and then award/split points.
Spiderfix:
By the way, I was wrong about having used TMPG... it was RAD tools that gave me the "bloated" converted
AVI file. I did not see any option in TMPG that accepted MOV file

Here is what I've got:
TMPG (after installation of mov plugin) does convert, but my 18 Meg file took
over one hour to convert, and the output size was 55 MB ( I used the DIVX
codec)
Winmpg does not even work (joansfella, sorry, spiderfix already suggested it
in earlier post, can't split points)

a) An *.avi is going to compress better than an *.mpg
b) A codec selection isn't the only dictating factor on a final file size. Frame rate (bit rates), frame size,
audio compression settings, layering, aspect ratios, color corrections...there's a multitude of
"adjustments" to compression video sequences. Not to mention codec manipulations themselves.
Not to take anything away from your video abilities but it takes powerful software and a lot of experience
to create quality video sequences. Trial, error, and if your lucky you can get tutoring from someone who
knows video deeply. Keep at it.

Bink and Smacker (I don't make this up) at http://www.radgametools.com/ has a tool that converts MOV files. Works great.

Sunray 2003 said it, I think the best way is to use Quicktime itself, use " File >> Export " for this, of course you can use anything like " TMPGEnc with qtreader Plugin " too let's see what else I can find!
check out www.doom9.org for all your video needs, i love that site!

Looks like quicktime 6 and Adobe premier can also do .
