changing a video file into one that can be imported?

[monkeyman1188]

how would one go about and change a video file into a ogv file?

i created a quick animated movie in windows movie maker but cannot import it due to not being the proper file type. (MSWMM)

can anyone recommend a movie maker or something similar that can use pictures and make into small movies to put into the RPG maker?

if that cannot be found, what software can be used to chage the file types so that its changed to the appropiate format.

thanks people as ever

There's a free program called Handbrake that converts videos to OGG.

Needs to be OGV, not OGG.

EDIT

unfortunately handbrake wont work either.

doesn't recognise the MSWMM file type

IF you are not afraid of the command line, ffmpeg will make your life really easy.

the command should be but I think if you use windows you should be on the same directory.

So put the folder with the files into C:\  (root directory)

for easy access if possible.

ffmpeg -i file_1.tp1 file_2.tp2

where:

file_1 is the file name of the source file

tp1 is the type of that file

.

For instance if source file is  movie.avi

and

you wanna make it an ogv type  named modmovie (destination- derivative file name)

file_1 = movie

tp1 = avi

filw_2 = modmovie

tp2_ = ogv

You can get ffmpeg using the following link

also to SHAZ, it says (".OGV) file when you press the import button in RPG-ACE and its the only file type allowed to import. was just typing what was shown :-D

That's a movie maker project file.


You need to first export that to a video file like WMV, and then use that to convert it to OGV.

my response was to the post above mine, which said to convert it to OGG, not to you
