I upload High Definition to YouTube all the time so this should work

If you are trying to get the “Watch in High Quality” button at the bottom then export it MPEG-2 for very high quality, or video for windows if you want to reduce the file size.

That’s just what I’ve been using to date and it works very nice.

People will say that h.264 is better but it reduces quality too much

For optimal quality when burning to a DVD, MPEG-2 is the way to go.
I’ve been using MPEG as compared to the other formats myself and it looks great.

Well I’m using Andrew kramer’s frame Rate conversion downloa but when I modify the sources frame rate to 23.976 fps it does increase the videos duration… Waht am I doing wrong with that?

I used to struggle with this Camera a lot but now I just wait a long time for the video to load.

The camera should have come with a disc to install the program Power NE for Everio as well as PowerDirector Express.

to get the .TOD converted to .MPG click file in PowerDirector Express
import and go to the folder containing all of the .TOD files and select all of them and click open:) It will convert them to .MPG files

and since you have Vista it will either be in your videos or someplace else:)

Hope this helps and the program even comes with the camera:)

ok, this Frame Rate Converter is way to taxing on my render time so I need to ask-

Is it possible to achieve the same 24 fps look by just slowing your videos down by like 2% in premiere?

And if I do decide to wait 9 hours for a video to render in 24p then is there a way to sync the audio?

Well I can usually pick up on that 6 fps difference, but I mean I don’t think it affected the footage. Or It might have, I’ll let you be the judge of that- Here are 2 random clips I made really fast so I could test frame Rate-

This is the original at 29.97-

And here is the other at 23.976 (i think)-

I realize the Camera work/lighting/everything else isn’t good but shouldn’t there be a subtle difference between frame rates?

And also, whenever I render out a comp with Andrew’s frame Rate converter attached to it it increases the render time of small compositions like this one 10 fold- How do I make it render faster?

Thank you, and may I ask-

frischluft.com has a product called LensCare which I am eager to try out. Unfortunately it cost 100$ and I won’t buy a product that expensive unless I am absolutely positve that it will work.

do you know if it is worth it?
