EyeFrame Converter Convert videos for easy import in Lightworks and lag-free playback on low-end computers with proxies. And convert exported files from Lightworks to an upload friendly format for ex. Vimeo and YouTube. This image is hidden for guests. Please log in or register to see it. Lightworks can be very picky on import video formats. EyeFrame Converter can convert most video files to Lightworks(free/pro) friendly formats. If the default EFC format is giving you lagging and choppy previews, use the EFC convert to proxies option, which will produce low quality clips for a smooth editing process, which later can be swapped with high quality intermediate files for high quality export. Finally EFC can convert the huge YuYv AVI exported files from Lightworks to small upload friendly mp4 files(for ex. Vimeo and YouTube).Download: eyeframeconverter.wordpress.com Getting started(import in LWKS): In EyeFrame the tabs works as selection of output format, so make sure that the Editing tab is selected and use "LW FREE Mpeg2 I-Frame HD - Proxy Quarter Size" unless you use a Canon EOS camera and therefore needs to use "LW FREE Mpeg2 I-Frame HD - Proxy Quarter Size - Source CanonDSLR".

Motivation: After spending days trying to figure out to get footage from my Canon 60D into Lightworks without having lagging playback(which all the LW included transcoding formats does and also the much talked about GoPro CineForm codecs on my ageing computer), I finally tried the Mpeg2 I-Frame HD codec, which Khaver has been mentioning for a long time, and I was really surprised not only did my files convert fast, but they also played without lagging in Lightworks in 1080P resolution. That made me so happy that I spend the night on coding a simple, no fuss(no settings) drag&drop batch converter GUI for ffmbc.exe to convert HD files to the Mpeg2 I-Frame HD format. |

You call that an ageing computer? Ha.
![]() I can't use the Cineform codec, too much stutter and lag. I use the m701, uncompressed, or lightly compressed codecs. I often have to double check synch for accuracy. That looks like a good tool, even if you only need to convert one video. I am forever misspelling something in the command line. Thanks for sharing. What import formats are supported? I see AVI and MOV. |

(I'm really surprised to see my Canon 60D footage run smoothly on my computer. Converting 1 GB files in a few minutes and just linking the files in Lightworks and then I'm ready to edit and the clips run lag-free. That's really a kick ass codec. I thought that I had to invest in a new monster-computer to edit, and repair this one with a hammer. Now I let it live... for a while longer... ![]() |

I get the error message: ffmbc.exe has stooped working.
I'm testing on a HP ProBook 5330m, Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit 2,5GHz dual core 4GB RAM. The reason I'm using this computer is because my regular computer is infected by viruses, and crashed, I'm working on to repair it, maybe I reinstalling the hole thing. I got the virus recently after I downloaded AWU Automated Workflow Utility and DSLR Post Prep Utility, but I don't thin that was the source. |

Are you using the 64-bit version?(Which I can't test because I only have 32-bit)
Try the other version. |

tin2tin,
Thanks for this utility. Just be aware that coding these utilities will begin to overtake your life. Fix a bug here, add more options there. It will never end. In fact I may enter into the transcoder wars with my own ffmbc based transcoder too. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. You can find proof on this forum and here |

I've been using the Matrox m701 codec through VirtualDub. I adjust the bit rate depending on what I want as far as quality and file size. It's a constant balancing act. This week the videos were all lot's of color and full screen action. I selected the highest bit rate the configuration panel would allow. I hope its worth it.

Let me know if anyone else has problems with the 64-bit, because if you do I'll take it down(I can't test it myself)
(Wow, ffmbc Mpeg2 I-Frame renders Avisynth scripts - faster than anything I ever seen and at 1080P - this is just mind-blowing) |

I just added your program to my recommendation list of media software: ovratorparensfoton.weebly.com/3/post/2012/09/gratis-videorelaterad-mjukvara.html. It's in Swedish, I think you have to use google translate.

Update:
As of 16/9 2012 the I-Frame Converter can also create proxy files and swap between uncompressed intermediate and compressed proxy files by the click of a button. If the playback of Mpeg2 I-Frame HD files lags you can use this new function to create low bitrate proxys and by the click of a button swap low and high bitrate files when you want to export your project from Lightworks. If you got a very low end computer this is the way to edit without playback lag in Lightworks. Download links in the first post. I'm Danish so Swedish is no problem to read. ![]() |

OK nice to hear that Swedish wasn't a problem to you, I forgotten to check your profile page before I posted.
Just want to tell that the 64bit version still doesn't work for me. |

low bitrate proxys and by the click of a button swap low and high bitrate files when you want to export your project from Lightworks. I'm going to try it. Specs below. P.S. You need a catchy name for your product. ![]() |

Try to change the ffmbc to this on in the 64 bit version and let me know if that solves it:
http://code.google.com/p/ffmbc/downloads/detail?name=FFmbc-0.7rc6-win64.zip&can=2&q= Or use the 64 bit ffmbc with the 32 bit I-Frame Converter. What would a good name be? |
