I usually get frustrated with these kinds on posts when I see them in my areas of expertise (computers/displays/motorcycles) but after days of researching I'm still not sure what is what as far as formats/exporting/editing and everything else. Enough of the anti-flaming clause.
I have a CanonHFS10 camera and I want to make movies of my daughter, wife and hobbies. Right now I have to use the junk ImageMixer3 software that came with the camera to get the video from the camera to the computer. Since IM3 crashes every 2 minutes I export the video to an MPG-2 file so I can work with Microsoft Movie Maker and I have been having success with the microsoft program adding stills,audio and video to make some ok movies.
The problems:
when I export the videos are only 720x480
I feel like I have to do twice the work (pulling video from cam, then convert to edit)
What format does my camera encode. The videos show .mts as an extension. I thought this thing shot in AVCHD or is that just what it can convert to?
The Fix?
Could Sony Vegas 9 or some other software allow me to pull video from the camera and edit from there bypassing ImageMixer3.
I read the SVega9.0 specs and it shows both .mts and AVCHD as exceptable formats but don't know if the IM3 is still needed by the Canon!
Thanks!
