Hey guys,

Trying to convert a .mov file to an .mp4, the file is about 2gb so using something like zamzar.com isnt an option (besides, its very likely a sketchshow anyway), we have pretty tight antivirus here so I want to make sure that when it inevitably does flag the software that it is at least vetted by you guys... 

Thanks!

Handbrake is a pretty good program, although that will encode the video again, so will tax your CPU quite a bit for some time (how much time depends on the video length).

Alternatively, you could use FFMpeg, but Handbrake is just a lot easier to use and does the same.

Perfect, thanks!
