What is the best format for a camcorder?

What should i do?i got a new camcorder but windowos movie maker wont import them cuz of there format?

  • ok i got a new camcorder bout a year ago i got it for the soul reason of making youtube videos but i like to edit my videos and my usual program windows movie maker says it can support the format and ive messed with the settings and it does the same thing plus it was supposed to come with its own editing software and it didnt so what should i do about this? is there somthing im doing wrong with movie maker or will i have to find a new editor & if it comes to that what program?

  • Answer:

    Yes I agree with Snowill on this, Window movie maker works with a narrow range of SD format files. I too Have Pinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate, it can import many files types, including most, if not all, HD file types. To see pics I have taken of this programs capabilities, if that what you want to call it, visit my two sites I have created. http://asimplelife.ca/pinn.html http://asimplelife.ca/studio.html

Buy some editing software that works with all formats. I have found that pinnacle studio 14 hd works with every camera I own. It was 40.00. MOVIE MAKER does not support all file types, not hd, mpeg4, mts, mod, mov or h.264 files. If your camera shoots in those formats you will have to convert to use WMM. Files associated with Windows Movie Maker Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma Picture files: .bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, and .wmf Vista WMM supports video files asf, avi, dvr-ms, m1v, mp2, mp2v, mpe, mpeg, mpg, mpv2, wm,and wmv Try these free converters http://www.squared5.com http://www.handbrake.fr/ Free players http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ http://www.codecguide.com
