  I am stuck on trying to convert a stack of FLV files to MP4 format. The problem is I can do it with QuickTime Pro but I lose sound.Am I missing something on the audio being lost?

  I thought MP4 was the most universal format for Mac/PC. The idea is that people will be able to download these videos and use them.

  Is there a way to do this, or is there another format that is as universal as MP4 that I could convert to without loosing audio? Or is there a better free tool to use besides QTP that I could accomplish this with?

  Thanks in advance!

    how long does it usually take to get the video? The one I uploaded was like 11MB– designbot2/4

    i uploaded a 4 mb file and it took about 1 minute to get the email.– lvl_133/4

    hmmm...still waiting. Hopefully it won't take too long since I have to do about 12 of them.– designbot4/4

  Still waiting on the email to see if zamzar.com works?

  I found this little app worked for me:

  Puts this annoying "evaluation version" message at the front of the video until you purchase the program though.

  • try reuploading it. no way it would take that long. i wouldn't think anyway.– lvl_131/2

    Tried a second video too....still nothing. wtf? it hates me :)– designbot2/2

  Alright http://zamzar.com/ worked like a charm. Anyone with a similar dilemma should check out this site.

  Turned out our email here was having issues....hence the huge delay in getting the download link in an email.

  Thanks dude!!!!!!
