Mobile Media Converter

One of the few things I was starting to miss from windoze was the ability to convert any video file to be able to play on a generic mp4 player. I mean nothing I tried seemed to function all that well on Linux. Sure the file would be converted to mp4 but absolutely not playable on a generic mp4 player! Well, not anymore! I finally had my chance this afternoon to use Mobile Media Converter. Apparently, these people know exactly what is needed to make those videos playable! It works and conversion time puts all utilities tried on windoze to absolute shame! Converted a 49mb rm to mp4 in a matter of 5 minutes! I dare windoze users to say that this can be accomplished in less than 20 minutes, because I know that is not the fact! Most times was a 2 step process on windoze, first to avi then to mp4. Now the miracle of Linux drops that 2 stage process to 5 minutes(if that?) saving an incomparable time of about 30 minutes! Sweet, I love it!!!! Of course one rm file was stubborn in this one step process, so a linux two step of Transmageddon and Mobile Media Converter was required! Although, Transmageddon looks like it can do the job by itself it leaves files that can not be played on the Polaroid mp4 player it was tested on!!! When Trans and MMC were used together output time was in the range of 12 minutes, still 18 to 25 minutes quicker than windoze! Looks like I am going to get to clear out some old program disks!!! Love it as all the useful utilities will remain on the OS, I put together! Linux makes it so much easier to get everything organized and together!!! Absolutely awesome!!!! Once again have to thank all here, you have all guided me in the right direction of finding the best software around!!!! When I can let you know what is great will do the same!!!! For those of us that like to have our video collection of concert footage to enjoy with us, this is a must have utility!!!!
