Discussing Video Conversion with Simon Aarons

I recently had an audio-only discussion/podcast with Simon Aarons, creator of the Brovicon Video Converter.  We discussed how the software works, why it’s so helpful that he made a graphical front-end to existing software…and just chatted about video conversion.  If you’ve ever wanted to convert video you’ve recorded or ripped, this will most likely interest you – “Just slide up a chair” and come hang out while we chat.  If video conversion isn’t your thing at all, this one probably isn’t for you ;p

As always, these long-form podcasts are available as a video and on all audio-only podcast services, such as iTunesGoogleStitcherSpotifyAmazon Music and for direct-download.  Basically, search any app for “RetroRGB Simon”, or head to the main Anchor page:  https://anchor.fm/retrorgb

Simon and I discussed a using AVIDemux to cut video files at keyframes without re-rendering, as well as a specific model of “DVD recorder” that does a great job with (broadcast) analog video.  Here’s links to both:
