Pete Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I have a huge collection of .mng files that I'd like to convert to some sort of video file compatible with launchbox (i.e., mp4, mpeg, AVI, etc). Does anyone know of a tool that can perform this conversion? Quote
SentaiBrad Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Where did you get mng files? The only thing I can find out about them is that they're completely unrelated or an extension of PNG and not video at all. My gut reaction is that they're not going to be convertible. I do see that they're similar to GIF's, but never took over. The best software for this type of job I would say is Handbrake, but again, I have zero clue if you can convert them, and I would guess you can't. Edit: It does look to be supported by some video players, but VLC doesn't even support it which says a lot. Quote
SentaiBrad Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Ah, ok. That's really odd that they didn't just use avi or mp4's. Handbrake is still really good, so it might be worth it to check it out as it's free. 1 Quote
DOS76 Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I don't think that you are doing anything wrong I just don't think handbrake recognizes the file format which is basically what the error message is saying. Quote
SentaiBrad Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I'm not sure much of anything will, it's extremely obscure. I did find where someone could convert it... but it was a laborious task. What are you trying to do, and how far in to it are you? I think it would be much much easier to just grab OBS and re-record a few videos if that's what you're doing. Edit: I found some more stuff here. Quote
SentaiBrad Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Oh, please no Camtasia. I started my YT channel off using that, and oh wow was it horrible. OBS is significantly better for free quality recordings. I use a mix of both OBS and DXTory now days. 1 Quote
Cauptain Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Its very easy. Just look: Tools: https://goo.gl/XXvkA3 Claudio 1 Quote
SentaiBrad Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Cool, if that works though then you can certainly use Handbrake afterwards at least. There's nothing wrong with AVI though, and it should work in LB. Quote

No need Handbrake convert video, just download any DEMUX/REMUX software (My preference is MEGUI, because can convert AUDIO file to MP4 compatible and remux). Claudio Quote
SentaiBrad Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Ok, but we're talking about converting the AVI to an MP4. There are other solutions, but handbrake is one of the better free ones. Again though, AVI works just fine and there's really no need to convert in the first place. Quote

Not need "convert" to MP4, just REMUX, because the AVI file is H264 (codec compatible). Only need convert audio part to .AAC or .AC3 Claudio Quote
Laxrefworm Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Finally I find this related thread about MNG to MP4 conversion. Yesterday, i find this article about video conversion and it recommend me to download their video converter to convert MNG. In the article, as you can see (http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/hd-crack.html) they claim that the video size can be dramatically compressed after conversion. However, after i changed MPNG to MP4 format, the size got much bigger, around 50 percent larger than the original one while the quality stays the same. How strange it is. Do you guys have any ideas what may happen during the conversion? Quote

Grabsktro Posted September 23, 2017 Posted September 23, 2017 How about this program: http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/mp4-to-avi.html It can do many video to audio and audio to video conversion including MP4 Quote
