Digital video editing question.

Update:Tried the software that Hans recommended & found the literature so full of gobbledygook had a crack at old gits recommendation.Spent several hours having downloaded handbrake before resorting to their forums in order to try & make some sense of it.........am still trying to make sense of it.Why does everything have to be so damned complicated?:mad::(
 
May I suggest that you have a look at the AVS suite of programs. www.avs4you.com.

They do a video converter program, AVS Video Converter 6 which could well suit your needs.

Their other progs are quite good as well and easy to use.

Thanks for your advice Giblets but the handbrake thingummy did the conversion.....I think but it then gave me the option of playing it back in two more media players one of which was Quicktime that I was trying to get away from in the first place.I want something that will transport it into Windows Movie Maker so that I can edit it.......you would think that you can go to Windows Movie Maker & make some sort of adjustment so that you can import a Quicktime Motion JPEG video directly into it would'nt you or is that just to simple?

$20 is $20 Dylan & I am still not sure that my Panasonic camera is really a viable alternative to the ordinary DV one that I already have........were I to go in for it in a big way just the additional memory card needed for an hour or so's video would cost me another £50/60 quid & then there is an additional battery at 30/40 quid.It all adds up.

what is $20

half a night in a marina

but memories are priceless

as for DV - the format is now 25 years old

memory hungry - low definition - clunky

I don't do nights in marina's & my Panasonic DV camera turns out pretty good footage that I then have no trouble editing in WMM & can then transfer to DVD for peanuts.......I don't have a problem with memory just getting round to watching the older ones.......

Quicktime = Apple

Movie Maker = Microsoft

Not sure what QED! means Giblets but I understand the commercial rivalry between the two companies,what I don't understand is how Panasonic can claim Motion JPEG is an industry standard & then allow it to go on & be monopolized by one company.Quicktime.
Coming as I do from Engineering when we say something is an Industry standard,lets take for the sake of example UNF screw threads.They are standardized & used I believe to be used a lot in the car industry......you do not then come across Fords own version of them.Ford Unified Fine.:rolleyes:

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum but does anyone know how you convert "Quick Time Motion JPEG" into something usable by Windows Movie Maker also, why would a card reader that I had no trouble with suddenly fail to recognize the new SDHC card that I have just bought & is there a remedy?

Kind regards Kristifercolumnbus.
