Eo that had a virus into a different video format, would the output video contain the virus too?

Fluther moderators would you let me edit my question please for some reason it skipped or deleted a few words

Well, I don’t see why running them through an anti-virus program wouldn’t solve that issue anyways.

If you don’t have an anti-virus program, then I would suggest getting Avast. You can run a system scan, and also run file scans as well.

AFAIK, the viruses ain’t in the videofiles unless you are asked for infected codecs, in which case you can just say “no” when it asks if you want to download the codecs. It’s been a long time since i had any viruses tho.

Yea, typically your operating system gets infected, not your video files. I would transfer the video files on a external hard drive, move them to a new computer and scan them with your virus software before watching them.

Chances are, they’re clean.

Uh, most viruses these days will copy themselves to anything you plug in. That’s why I use Slax to copy files from infected machines. (Viruses can’t activate under it)
