How to move meta data at the start of video ?

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the insights! I’ll test some encoding software today and I’ll eventually fix the documentation.

Also, I’ll let you know which software worked for me.

Thanks,

Juraj

Hi Bruno,

If you are on Mac, the best and one of the least expensive video converters is ffWorks (formerly iFFmpeg) which costs just €20.

Some past converters which were pretty good included Sorenson Squeeze but there’s no point in paying $200 or $400 for Sorenson Squeeze when ffWorks does the same job and costs €20.

On Windows, Handbrake is really the best. There’s XMedia Recode, StaxRip and FormatFactory if Handbrake’s interface doesn’t appeal to you. XMedia Recode looks great but it’s website is unfortunately German only.StaxRip is genuine FOSS, hosted on GitHub, while FormatFactory’s business model is unclear (sometimes they bundle anti-virus, sometimes they bundle search toolbars in their installer).

I’m not a Windows user so I haven’t compared conversion quality myself.

Thanks, Alec

PS. Avoid anything Wondershare or iSkysoft. They are absolutely crap Chinese copyware video converters and almost all of the reviews you’ll read for them are fake. Once they have your email address, you will be deluged with spam. It’s the same shared code, both borrow illegally from the GPL ffmpeg, without releasing source code. Nothing wrong with Chinese software per se – I quite like the subtitling tool Subtitle Edit Pro available on the Mac app store – but in this case, yes.
