Can someone suggest a good software package that will allow me to convert a high definition MOV file to another format, preferrably mpeg2 or the likes. I have tried ulead video studio 10 but it doesn't like the audio for some reason on the mov file.
You could try AVIDemux 2.2svn. Might need to remux from mov to mp4 first though. Otherwise any half decent MPEG encoder should work. If it can't handle mov's directly, you can frameserve the mov's using directshowsource() in AVISynth. Requires a compatible splitter (Haali's or Gabests), audio decoder (coreaac, ffdshow, etc.) and video decoder (coreavc, ffdshow) be installed.
