Quite often people are involved in encoding video files. The file format depends entirely on the formation of the codec. If the video file was generated by a codec that your computer understands well, then it will be successfully launched. If it does not start, then you need to deal with encoding.
Instructions
Step 1
This problem needs to be considered more globally. After all, besides watching a video file on a computer, some people want to run it on other devices. Unlike a computer, it happens that they only read the formats that are programmed in them. For example, DVD players, mobile phones mp3 and mp4 players and many other devices play no more than 10 of the most common formats. The computer can play files in more than 1000 different formats. It is for this reason that problems arise with the launch of films, as well as music on devices.
Step 2
Be sure to pay attention to such an important function of formats as the size of the audio / video file. If you do the encoding correctly, you can end up with a smaller file, but with the same sound and picture quality.
Step 3
To change the file format, you will definitely need an encoder. Currently, there are quite a few of them. You can use the most simple or professional ones. It all depends on your computer skills and abilities. Your best bet is to use a simple encoder called ImTOO 3GP Video Converter. It's pretty simple and easy to use. It can be used to transcode video for a mobile phone, mr-4 player and DVD-player. Install this program and run. To add a file, you need to click on the "Add" button. After that, in the explorer, find the required file and "Open":
Step 4
You will see this file in the main window of the program. The program will automatically determine its name, duration time, original format, as well as the format into which it will be converted. To change the format, select the file in the program window and select the required format in the "Profile" field. Then press the "Encode" button. The encoding of the video file should start. After encoding, the file will be located in the C: / Temp folder.
