  • Rendering from MOV via Movavi Video Converter 6

    Posted by James Blix on September 17, 2008 at 12:24 pm

    I have a Panasonic HDR-H288 HDD 3 CCD, PAL system camcorder that shoots in MOV files, which Sonny Vegas 9 does not support. (I live in China which uses the PAL system)

    I use Movavi Video Converter 6

    I have many formats to render the video in

    Mpeg-4 format (.mp4)
    DVD Pal Compatible (.mpg)
    WMV 9 for DVD quality video (2mbps) – very slow rendering
    WMV HD 1080/25p (.wmv)
    WMV HD 1080/30p – very slow rendering
    WMV 9 for DVD quality video (1 mbps) – very slow rendering
    WMV 9 for DVD quality video (2 mbps) – painfully slow rendering
    WMV HD 720/25p thru WMV HD 720/30p -Very slow rendering
    AVI (DivX, Xvid, etc) – fast rendering
    MPEG1, 2 (DVD, SVCD, VCD)

    Not all of these will work with Sony Vegas. I am not sure which ones, I’m doing the slow process of checking each one out.

    My question is, in the final cut, which should I stay with? The camcorder is is not HD. I want as good a quality that comes from the cam in the final cut burned to a DVD disc for the best TV output.

    I’m a newbie at this, and find all the jargon and suggestions confusing. I want to know the settings I should use for the best quality with Vegas 9 via Movavi Video Converter 6.

    Thanks for your help

    Well… you do not have Vegas 9 because Vegas 9 doesn’t exist. You must have Vegas Movie Studio 9 which is different then just Vegas. I would try and see if you can render to AVI PAL DV. Do not use DivX or any mpeg-4 or wmv format. If you can’t create a PAL DV file then PAL MPEG-2 is your next best choice. I would seriously consider getting another camera that shoots a more standard format if you plan on doing a lot of video editing. You will loose quality during the conversion for editing and then again when rendering to DVD. It’s best to get a camera that you can edit the native files.
