I just recently purchased the new fully digital sports camcorder from Samsung. It is the SC-X105L and it records to AVI (MPEG4) file format. The problem that I'm having is that I can't find any software that will allow me to edit my recordings and put them on DVD. The software that comes with the camera SUCKS!!! I have tried versions of Adobe Premiere and Pinnacle Studio's software. Adobe says in valid format and Pinnacle trashes. Does any one know of a good software program to edit AVI (MPEG4) video files? This camcorder is awesome but with out any way to edit the video it sucks. HELP!!! Thanks in advance for any input you might have.
Can you play it on your PC? If yes, your best bet is to open it in VirtualDUB and export it with using a codec that is accepted by these video editing programs. A good choice would be to export to DV-AVI. Here's an article how to do it (written for a different purpose, but it can be helpfull in your situation: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/tutorials/dvdedit.php In stead of opening a VOB as desribed there, just open your AVI.
Yes I can play the video files on my PC. I tried using virtualDUB following the tutorial you provided and I get the following error message when trying to say the file. "VideoSourceAVI error: The souce image file format is not acceptable. (error code -2)" Do you have any other sugestions?
So you can open it with VirtuaDUB, but you cannot save it? I think it is the framesize that is giving you the trouble. If you want you can email me a short clip and I'll have a look. Register at the Digital Video Club forum and put a message on the forum there. I will then PM you there with an email address.
OK - Posted in the Video Capturing and Editing section. Thanks again for the help. I will have a video clip ready to send to you. Wayne
