I'm building a .NET winforms application and I need to convert avi video format to mpeg video format. How can I do this?

Thank you in advance.

What have you tried so far? –  coolmine Aug 30 '12 at 18:35
This sounds suspiciously like a "give the the code" question. There are plenty of AVI to MPEG converters already in existence, so the first question would be why you need to roll your own. The second question would be, "what have you already tried?". If the answer is "nothing" you will not get much help here. –  KeithS Aug 30 '12 at 18:35
Do you start from a scratch or did you tried something? –  Fuex Aug 30 '12 at 18:36

You can use third party component which you call from c#....The mostly used component for the conversion is FFmpeg .

FFmpeg includes libavcodec - the leading audio/video codec library.

One of the major problems that we faced when developing our application is the ability to convert different video formats (AVI, OGG, MP4, etc.) to DVD format. We ended up using a third-party toolkit named leadtools. I think they have mpeg DirectShow filters that might help you to fulfill your requirements. You can find more information here: http://leadtools.com/sdk/multimedia/conversion.htm
