Hello there and welcome to my website.
In this tutorial I use this video converter to show you how to convert an AVI file to an MP4 file.
Step
1
Click here to download and install
the video converter. Make sure that you get the latest version.
Step 2:
Open
the video converter.
Step
3
Add
the required AVI file (click icon in the top left corner) or the “Browse” button into the video converter as shown below in the diagram. Note: In this tutorial the input file (AVI)
name is called “FileName”.

FileName)

Step 4
Select
the output format by clicking the large rectangular “To MP4” thumbnail that is located along the top of the software
interface.
Step 5
Select
Output File Name by clicking on the “Browse”
button on the right hand side of the screen. Manually type a suitable file name
for the output file. This is shown in the diagram below. Note: In this tutorial
I have called the output file (MP4) “NewMP4”.

(i.e. NewMP4)

Step 6
In
the “Profile” section, select the
most appropriate output setting for your video file. This may be a good time to consider what
device your new MP4 file will be most played on. I have selected “PC – Standard Quality” for mine as I will be watching my output
video on my PC. Note :This video converter has created a very comprehensive list
of profile outputs that are suited to a variety of different video playback
devices e.g. tablets, mobile phones and video consoles. Be sure to experiment with different output profiles
to find one best suited to your needs.

Step 7 (Optional)
You may need to
configure the “Advanced” settings
for your specific application. The
properties of your outputs MP4 can be changed here e.g. video codec, audio
codec and aspect ratio may be changed here.
In my example I left everything as default. Shown in diagram 4 below is the Advanced
Settings Panel.
Step 8: Convert your video
You
now may convert your video from AVI to MP4.
The length of time this takes depends on the file size and selected bit
rate. You can monitor your conversion
progress via the progress bar at the bottom of the software interface. A 30MB AVI file should only take a few
minutes to convert. You may need to
pause your conversion during the process.

You
can monitor your conversion progress via the progress bar at the bottom of the
software interface. A 30MB AVI file
should only take a few minutes to convert.
You may need to pause during the conversion. You can do this using the “Pause” button. You can also choose what the software does when
the conversion finishes e.g. play a sound or just do nothing. What I found very useful was the option to
have the software shut down my computer when the conversion finishes.

Step 9
Multiple Conversions Simultaneously
You may need to
run several AVI to MP4 conversions simultaneously. To do this just keep adding files like
you added the first one. Don’t worry
about the order you add them if you want to prioritise the order at which the
conversions run. You can do this
afterwards using the up/down arrows at the right hand side of the software interface.
Thank you for reading my tutorial. Read my review of AVS Video Converter here to get the whole picture of this software.
