How do I convert a file type to another type?

Question

without using a file converter software? specifically from avi to MPEG.

Answer 1

Asking to convert an avi to mpeg without using a converter is the same as asking to translate French to English without a translator.

Is your concern that you are unable to install any such software on your computer? If so, there may be another way for you. This website:

http://media-convert.com/

allows you to either upload or obtain from a public internet address any media file you would like to convert. The site will do the converting for you and then you can download the results.

There are other sites that do this too, a simple google search for "online video converter" will uncover most of them quite quickly. Many of these sites will convert from a large number of input files to a large number of output files.

If your concern is instead time based (converting is a slow and a processor intensive process) is it possible to use a player that can display the AVI file directly without having to first convert to MPEG? finding a more liberal player or a codec plugin for your existing player will save you time, heartache, and preserve picture quality.

I hope this information helps out. Good luck!

In Windows XP open My Computer /Folder Options/ click View / uncheck the box which says "Hide file extensions for known file types".Locate your file and change the .avi to .mpeg. Sometimes, files will be corrupted if you do this. hope it will work for you.

good luck!

Answer 5

Well your asking for a miracle.

Your question is How do I convert a file type to another type?

Converting files needs to have a converter of some sort. And you'll need a software that has a converter on it.

Well if your burning Avi to MPEG as a DVD.

NERO will "CONVERT" them directly for you as you burn.

But it will take time to do that.
