Hi Guys,
So my little X10 can produce Full HD, good news. Shame I've got an 8 year old laptop to try and do some sort of workflow on....i'd appreciate options/opinions on my workflow and my target.
Prior to all of this I had a nice little camcorder with DV tapes, run them off and into Movie Maker, and burn to DVD. The burn to DVD bit is what i'm looking to do with the Full HD files. Nice and simple, not the best quality but it did. Full HD does now look superb though in comparison.
I have confusion and conflicting reports on the best format to get the full HD into 'a' format that I can use.
Looking at the HD on the camera everything is great, putting the file onto the laptop and the resolution actually seems great, just the video is a few secs behind the audio, then it gradually turns into a slow mo video to watch
Before I even do anything with these files, i'm looking for confirmation that this is simply down to an old laptop and that it should still burn (and play on the TV) the DVD 'normally'. Dont care if i need to render something overnight, just more concerned it doesnt work after all that when I get it to the TV If bit/frame rate are mainatin surely it doesnt makettr the laptop, will just take longer to process?
So .mov files, got my freeware converter and can do .avi or mpg etc. Converts them fine and seems realiable.
I use Movie Maker because it's simple and I dont actually do that much editing (cut a few frames, some transitions some titles and that it). Mov files do seem a hassle though, but not much i can do it seems.
I'm thinking .mov file to avi (will this maintain high quality or close to the full HD?), then into MM for some simple editing and burn disk in Nero (i use it cos I always have even though I dont particularly like it)
A lot say mpeg2 is best, but I dont think this is actually a correct DVD format, or at least doesnt seem as flexible as .avi? More bothered about maintaining quality rather than saving time as I'll leave o/night if it comes to it on my ancient laptop.
What do you guys reckon?
Cheers.
