Super (http://www.erightsoft.info/GetFile.php?SUPERsetup.exe) converts ANY format into ANY other format, video or audio. It also supports Zune. It has settings that no other program can match, especially not freeware alternatives. And, yes, Super is absolutely free. Their slogan is "Super does for free what other encoders can't do for money." And they are right!

thnx 4 this one

I notice you have to narrate things (which I probably could do) but I perfer not.

You can't seem to put in little speech bubbles.

Thanks for the post, bowlby4.
While the recording works smooth and gives a choice of complete window, part of screen etc. I fin editing not so easy, but perhaps it just takes more time to get into it and perhaps run through the tutorials.
Democreator, previously offered here, is easier accesible in that part. Perhaps they have an update that could be run.

Lots of programs out there to convert between video formats. The real trick to get converted video to play in a hardware player (the kind most people have and use next to their TV) is generating the .ifo and .bfo files and packaging everything into the appropriate AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS directories with the .vob files broken into appropriately sized chunks. Almost all of the so-called video converter and DVD creator just do the transcoding, and leave you with a video file you can only play on a PC. Clone DVD and most of the other DVD copy programs will take the original DVD and use the original .ifo and .bfo files when they reencode to a different size or play time, but trying to assemble a playable DVD of transcoded .avi or .mp4 videos downloaded off the net is an onerous task that usually takes a day or two with a high-end video authoring program....half an hour to set up the files and define the chapters for a menu, and another day or so to yet again re-encode the videos for that program's particular liking. I have used VSO ConvertX to DVD with some success on shorter projects, but it just takes forever to transcode, and doesn't seem to like to handle more then a half dozen or so video clips at a shot. NeroVideo does a great job of transcoding, but doesn't generate a playable DVD (although it's .mp4/h264/Nero proprietary .mp4 output looks great and is the fastest I've had the chance to use). I usually end up tying up my main machine for two or three days to run SonicFoundry/Sony's Vegas Video and DVD Architect with main concept's or CCE standard video codecs. How about a simple (drag n'drop, or a simple pick list of files), fast (under 6 hours, with a typical runtime of 2- 2 1/2 hours for a DVD5), easy to use (has preset optimized values for NTSC and PAL standard and HDTV screens, has advanced menu options for setup of temp, output folders, burn device, etc.)DVD creation program that really does what they all promise. Drag - Drop - Convert - Burn - Playable DVD ....all automagically done by the software ;) I shouldn't have to play recording engineer to get 20 minutes of Naruto to play on my TV when relaxing with friends.

This is one of the best screen recorders ever. http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp

I'm looking for a video converter that'll convert videos for Zune. Also looking for something to convert .ifo files..
I would really appreciate it ^_^ (Another suggestion is Camtasia, I used the trial version and I must say it's one of the best screen recorders ever)
