Hi there all, I've already set this up in the multimedia forum but its a bit slow there so I'll add it here too...

Trying to get people to suggest good software for encoding video to .rm and .mp4 format. If people could list what they've tried and liked and any of their features that stand out. We should build up a good list of encoding software for people to try, saving all those desperate posts by people asking what software they can use etc.

I'll start the ball rolling.....

.mp4 encoding- pvauthor. Small and fast with good settings to allow you to set thge max bandwidth to use for the video. However the resize isnt too great- it will only allow the built in screen sizes to be used and will distort anything widescreen to fill the screen.

.rm- Real Producer. Only used once. Its ok I guess but not too many features. I'dd be glad for any better suggestions.

Okay, I've tried MP4 from Quicktime 6.2 Pro. Video works a treat and encoding in very fast, Sound does not work at all. I'm using a Mac by-the-way.

Stream Anywhere from Sonic Foundry, really cool, encoded a whole Family Guy episode, works like a charm :D

Virtual Dub to convert files that don't work on Stream Anywhere to make them work :)

Canopus Procoder is really easy to use and fast too. It's good at resizing and you can specify the bandwidth for both video and audio.

Virtual Dub cant use but not exist MP4 codec or RM into virtual dub.

Canopus is betst.

where can i get the stream anywhere? is there a trial version or anything?

EO video is the best program to use. Can convert into anything from anything WITH SOUND!

What is EO video? Can convert video to MP4 with sound? How quality is? I thing that best is RM.

I still find Helix Producer Plus 9 the best program for converting to .rm format :D
