I am getting into making some videos with my mkIV. I use Sony Vegas v6 but it won't import the H264 format clips. What is a good free converter to convert the clips to avi or similar.

There's a nag at the end of the conversion, but you can set the frame size (in case there's a limitation of e.g. 720x576 with your player) and the video and audio bitrates (according to the quality required).

Bear in mind your H.264 files are your originals, and an XviD AVI conversion could be a 1/3rd larger filesize for the same quality, but will also lose something due to being compressed a second time.

Media players that will play H.264 are available. You can hook up an external hard drive or plug in a USB card reader.

+1 for Any Video Convertor. The free version does pretty much everything I need and the ones that you are supposed to pay for I have not needed yet anyway. :)
