| 1111982 | 2010-06-22 01:15:00 | OK, so it's Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 now, but does anyone here use it? It appears to have quite a few negative reviews from users. I have Ulead VideoStudio 8.0 SE which I like but it doesn't support some of the latest formats so I'm still looking for something to replace it. If you're happy working on Linux, kdenlive is pretty good, and supports almost every format under the sun. It has a tendancy to crash unfortunately, but it's also great at recovering from them :rolleyes:. |

| 1111983 | 2010-06-22 03:24:00 | Does the cam have firewire?? Is it a videocam ? If it does, you could use firewire to import it into Moviemaker . It's a picture camera, not a dedicated video camera, so doesn't have firewire . A slower but workable solution is to use Super to convert the file to MPG format, and then let Video Studio loose on the MPG . I have tried Super but so far am unable to produce an MPG file that is of an equivalent quality to the original . Moving objects appear pixelated and sometimes jerky . Even after much experimenting I still have no idea how to produce a copy as good as the original . Your comments regarding VideoStudio reflect the reviews that I have come across which is disappointing . Getting back to the first post you could try XMedia http://www . xmedia-recode . de/ Again, I am unable to produce an MPG file that is of an equivalent quality to the original otherwise I would be happy to do this . |

| 1111986 | 2010-06-22 08:28:00 | I've been doing video editing for years, and of course started on 32bit. I've had no problems working with 10GB+ (yay for DV video..) video files. If it makes any difference I've always used Adobe Premiere. I also had a similar problem. Started with video recording from a Webcam. At first I wondered why the files were just magically disappearing overnight, then I realized the FAT32 limit of 4GB was being reached. Converted the drive to NTFS and I was away laughing working with 20 -> 30GB files. This was all back on XP like 8 or 9-odd years ago, back when Linux was the only thing that did 64-bit. On another note, Adobe Premier CS5 is now 64-bit only. Up until now it's happily worked on 32-bit systems with massively large HD files, or raw uncompressed video which is gigs upon gigs. What is it you're wanting to do with the videos FoxyMX? You could try VirtualDub? Even just as a means to convert files? |

| 1111987 | 2010-06-22 12:26:00 | What is it you're wanting to do with the videos FoxyMX? You could try VirtualDub? Even just as a means to convert files? Splice a whole lot of video clips together to put onto a DVD for watching on the TV (or computer) after editing out the unwanted footage . The original videos are from a digital camera (not video camera) in MOV and AVCHD formats, which VideoStudio 8 does not recognise . AVS Video Editor does the job as it recognises the original movies and I can do the editing but the program has one or two annoyances that I have yet to overcome . The final output on DVD isn't that flash either but that may be the discs I am using, or even the DVD player . Perhaps I should start another thread on that issue . :p |

| 1111988 | 2010-06-22 20:11:00 | I have tried Super but so far am unable to produce an MPG file that is of an equivalent quality to the original. Moving objects appear pixelated and sometimes jerky. Even after much experimenting I still have no idea how to produce a copy as good as the original. This might be a frame rate / field order issue (interlacing). In Super there is a function that will give you a detailed analysis of your source file (the MOV off the camera). Can't recall if it's a double click or a right-click to get to this panel of info. Anyway, for the MOV to MPG stage you should aim to keep all variables the same from source file to target file. Frame rate unchanged, field order unchanged, aspect ratio and resolution unchanged. Do whatever with the audio. If the jerky motion is only involving vertical motion (arms going up or down seem jerky) then this is a field order issue, and you should swap the field settings from A to B / 1 to 2 / top to bottom (or vice-versa). Depends on your playback hardware whether or not you should use Progressive framing, but if it's for TV playback, then stick with the A/B, 1/2, Top/Bottom style of combed frames. I've also had green coloured block artifacts from high motion scenes encoded with Super - however, these artifacts do not appear on the computer, only on my stand alone DVD player, and I believe are a consequence of the high compression Super achieves, with the stand alone being unable to decode the frames fast enough when there is a lot of motion info encoded. If you're converting NTSC to PAL, then you're cursed with issues - the resolution changes as does the frame rate. Frame rate changes in particular can lead to jerky copies. Might be worth checking if your camera has a PAL/NTSC option - it could be the source of your problems if it's set to NTSC parameters. |

| 1111989 | 2010-06-22 22:05:00 | I use Sony Vegas to edit AVCHD files & it seems pretty good. I don't think it handles .mov files too well though - it may depend on what codec the .mov is using. I would only convert to MPG before editing if you were absolutely desperate and the end quality of the video didn't matter too much. You lose too much data in the process. |

| 1111990 | 2010-06-22 22:09:00 | Here we go again :rolleyes: Its time to put you on ignore. Try opening a 4 gb file in a 32 bit program. It'll load, but if you edit a video file, you'll get so far then the program will quit And as last time, you're wrong. I edit files larger then that all the time, and all my systems are 32-bit. |

| 1111991 | 2010-06-22 22:41:00 | Must have be the version of VS I had then. It did nothing but quit. After getting to the end of a 3-3.5 GB file (after editing it). It'll prob load, but editing it is another matter. It maybe different now, since the version of VS I've got is a later version. Probably wont use VS now anyway, Moviemaker loads and edits the files I've got fine, in Win 7 64 bit. At least MM is 64 bit | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
