Hi, I would like to convert micromv from Sony IP5 to dv format and finally burn it to DVD. Does anyone know whether Pinnacle Studio 9 helps? Regards, Oleg
Hi gelonik, It seems that micro-mv is a MPEG-2 format, but at a higher rate of 12 Mbps, rather than the normal 4-6Mbps rate used by mini-dv. I found the following comment on http://www.manifest-tech.com/media_pc/micromv.htm So if Studio 8 can do it, then Studio 9 will be fine. Adder.
Thanks Adder. Yet I would like to hear from anyone who had any real experience with that format, before I make final decision about buying any software. Thanks, gelonik
Fair enough mate. I have played with Pinnacle before and its a bit buggy (crashes occasionally) but it is easy to use. I did read this on Pinnacle 9's website... and then a few lines down it says... HHHmm....so I assume MicroMV can't be captured in MPEG format, only AVI. Not a BIG deal... It also says... Adder.
Good enough, One more question. If I decide to buy Pinnacle Studio 9, there are plenty of propositions on EBay. As they propose different packages with different content, which one is good to buy as I do not want to buy any "extra" that I would not use. As I have told I am going for Pinnacle Studio 9, because of micromv format on my camcorder, and finally I would like to get files burned on DVD. Regards, Gelonik
Hello, It looks like it might work with Pinnacle Studio 9. Here is the link: http://www.videoforums.co.uk/ftopic735.html Cheers, Gelonik
