How to convert AVI-XVid to AVI-H264

1

I have a number of AVI movies with CoDec XVid-Mpeg-4; my Sony TV (KDL50W805C) will not play these.

Other AVI movies with CoDec x264vfw-H264-Mpeg4-AVC are accepted and play perfectly.

Can I convert XVid to H264 and if so, how ?

I prefer to keep them all in the AVI wrapper (because I use VirtualDub to edit out unwanted adverts etc. and I'm very comfortable with this method).

Best regards and thanks in advance Ray

Only difference is changing the container from mp4 to avi – Marek Rost – 2018-01-09T16:12:21.297

1Dare I say part of your problem is the Sony TV? XVID is just a subset of the MPEG-4 encoding. H.264 is another subset of MPEG-4. If your TV properly supported MPEG-4 there'd be no need to do any conversion. Decoding H.264 and Xvid should be technically the same. – jdwolf – 2018-01-09T16:19:57.770
