Hi Gang..... I'm sure some folks here are video experts... OK I have a video camera that uses a Mini DV tape. I save the 50 minute video I took as an AVI file and it comes out to about 10.5 Gigabyte. I have tried many of the free on line convertors/movie makers and when they convert the file it compresses it way to much. Now I do understand that there are many file types codexes etc etc. When I do convert the file to something of a decent size such as a Dvix or Mpeg4 they will play on a computer, but not on a standard DVD player. I don't mind spending a few $$$ on a commercial editing/converting program such as one of the Corell products if I can find one that will let me take this LARGE 10.5 gig avi file and convert it to a GOOD quality file that I can play on a standard DVD player. (things were easier in 1970 when I was shooting 8mm film!!!!) Russ R.E. Baker Photography www.rebphoto.smugmug.com Feed a Cat... Starve a Fever.....
