Gopro footage

[lgbskier]

hey newschoolers basically all my gopro footage is in vlc files when on my computer which i beleive is mp4 files but i am trying to convert them to avi files but havnt found any decent software to do it all the ones i have tried have a limit on the size, so i am basically asking what is the best way to turn my files into files which are suppported by video editing software but is free

what editing software are you using that doesnt support vlc?

mpeg streamclip is a good converter. and i'm pretty sure vlc isn't a format, just the program used to view them.

-Go to Afterdawn.com

-Click on the Software Tab

-Search for exactly that

-Download program that comes up

Dont worry, Afterdawn is a LEGIT ass website. If you dont believe me look around the forums there are thousands of threads and posts for stuff like this.

my final cut pro x doesnt support any of the VLC files i have, and some quicktime files... but all of my gopro footage becomes the kind of quicktime format i need for it to work so..
