I need to convert existing MP4 files to the XVID format with the .AVI extension. Specifically to something like this:

I've tried Camtasia, Handbrake and VLC, but they don't seem to support this format - I guess its really old. Everything else I've googled seems like something that will install a ton of spyware on my PC.

Freemake will do this as below. It's the single best converter out there as far as I'm concerned. Open source and malware free. Does a superb job re: compression and supports tons of formats.

As per my comment tho dunno why you'd to go to AVI container with Xvid codec from MP4.

One thing I could think of is file type checker http://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html could be help full.

A demuxer could be best option because wont loose quality re compressing, it will just split the video up into it's audio n video.

Digital Digest is a great site, very helpful for this sort of thing, I have been using it for many a years!

AV Splitter 1.2 may work for you, its on there site.

Good Luck!

Have you tried VirtualDub? As long as you have the codecs installed, or download the addins, VDUB can usually perform the conversion.

From Vdub (http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?s=43b1e5503ee6baa8b85866ddf58b64b6&act=ST&f=7&t=14639&st=105)

And here's the first release for quicktime video (mov, some mp4, etc.):

binary http://www.tateu.net/software/dl.php?f=qtvd_bin

source code http://www.tateu.net/software/dl.php?f=qtvd_src

"Quicktime.vdplugin" should go in your plugins32 folder and "Quicktime.ini" should go in the VirtualDub root folder.

There are several different modes that can be used to open a movie, these are specified in Quicktime.ini as "mode=." Mode=-1 and color=-1 are the recommended defaults but you can read about the different modes in "Quicktime_ReadMe.txt." Eventually, these options will be implemented as an "Ask for Extended Options Dialog."

Audio is currently not implemented and I am sure there are many bugs. Questions, comments, suggestions, whatever...are welcome.

I will also most likely...someday...implement my avisynth OMF importer.

And how to perform the conversion guides are here:
