My helmet camera shoots HD in .mov format. I'd like to use Microsoft Movie Maker to put together a movie, but it doesn't support Quicktime format. As much as I know about video formats (which is a gnats hair above zero), which format should I convert it to to get the best quality. I tried .avi, but the frame size was way too small.
Thanks! |

My question pertained to WHAT format to convert to. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to have an HD camera, then lose picture quality converting it to something else. I was hoping the experts here could provide a solution. |
| Your two most common formats for editing will be DV/DVCAM (uncompressed) and H.264 (MPEG-4). Your choice will probably depend on how much storage you have, versus how beefy your hardware is to handle the decompression to edit and recompression to store. DV/DVCAM takes a boatload of diskspace, while H.264 is compact but will take forever to recompress/finish on most desktop-user level hardware. |
