ARE THERE ANY VIDEO CONVERTERS FOR MAC OSX??!!!!

I have a meizu m6 miniplayer..... i have some videos on it but i used my friends PC to do that.... is there any way yo convert them so they will play on the player from a MAC platform?

thanks,
colton

One thread per question is more than enough. Also, was it necessary for ALL CAPS??!!!!

HOW DOES IT FEEL READING THIS? LOOK WHAT A SEARCH BROUGHT ME:

Video conversion in mac OSX
Video Settings
OS X Step By Step Guide?

BASICALLY, YOU CAN USE ANY VIDEO CONVERSION FOR YOUR MAC AS LONG AS YOU OUTPUT THE FILES IN A FORMAT THAT THE M6 CAN READ.

thanks smart ass........ no offense...... o've tried the quicktime codec with no useable results...... i have converted to .avi on my mac but the player won't read them

Non-smartasses please step in...

You know, that's not the way to talk to the forum admin..

Here's the technical requirements for video on the M6:
- the following codecs are known to work: DivX, XviD, libavc,
- don't use b-frames, global motion compensation, or quarter-pel. The M6 doesn't support them,
- theoretically the M6 video bitrate can go up to 512kbps. In practice, you should keep that lower to avoid playback hiccups and video/audio lag (~304kbps works ok for me),
- use a maximum of 18-20 frames per second,
- if you rotate your videos 90º to the left, they will play smoother on the M6 (because it has a vertical screen rotated horizontally).

Now, if you follow the links that Err0r gave you, you will find some more specific information for OSX...

apologies for the smart asses....... however as forum admin the reply to that was handled imaturly....... ok my apologies but could you put that in a language some one wo doesn't understand techy talk you understand....im not much of a computer savy....... is there a singular program that i could get... prefferably for free.... that would convert the videos to a format the m6 can read?

thanks

Last time I checked, this is what you would call "normal" English (or whatever your normal may be).

yes, there is : Windows.

Windows = for non-techy people who just want their things done with no pain. The whole friggin world uses Windows.
Macintosh = for people who prefer design over compatibility
Linux = for techy people with lots of spare time

If you as a non-techy person would have asked a techy friend what computer to buy, he would have adviced you to buy a windows pc.

Macs are really for simplicity, they don't have to be maintained as much as Windows, but you trade compatibility for that.

He probably was just a bit impatient...at least he somewhat apologized.

And plus, that's Err0r's sense of humor for you...

Pertaining to your question, you could install XP on a Mac, or just get a x86 emulator and run BatMan.

ok...... but i don't have any copies of any windows system...... and macs are more simplistic than PCs(windows) the only reason i don't have an ipod is cause this looked just as good but cheaper..... but i forgot bout compatibility issues...... is there a singular program i could download on MAC Osx that doesn't require downloading codecs and other features..... that can convert videos so they will play on the M6?

Yes they are thank you :-)

lol, Colton actually gave me neutral rep for this saying that:
"i don't think you need to be so sarcastic and an a**hole bout iy"

will no one kindly answer my question? all ive gotten on this post is sarcasm and rudeness.......... i think i might have found a solution my self but..... using the info from traps.......... i've used one of the programs i have already and edited it a little.... won't know till later if it works (still converting) Traps was bout the only helpful one who wasnt an ass.....

Search for an open-source all purpose converter for Mac OS if you're not willing to install/use Windows.

ok.... i just converted a video..... to .AVI using XVid codecs.... 304 bit rate..... and rotated the video 90 degrees.... but it still wouldn'y play!! it started to load than would go back to the menu! any advice? or trouble shooting?

The horizontal video needs to be 320x240 I believe.

ok ill try that now too thanks ill get back to you

ok i've converted a video with .avi, xvid codecs, mp3 audio, 304 bitrate, 320x240, and it still won't play on my meizu........ what is wrong?

I'm not sure, PM BobbyQ for help, since he is experienced with video converters.
