Using Stream Clip is easy.<\/strong> You open the program, open your file, and then export it in any one of several formats.\u00a0 DV stream and Quick Time are probably your best bets for editing.\u00a0 AVI should work too. \u00a0Check your video editing software.<\/p>\nWhen you open the MPEG2 files, you will notice that the video is distributed across multiple file folders.\u00a0 Open the VOB file, choose yes to opening all associated files, and then export it.<\/p>\n
Stream clip also converts back into MPEG2 from any of the other formats.<\/p>\n
So if you need to convert your video into a format compatible with editing, chances are good that Stream Clip is your answer.\u00a0 There are versions for both Windows and Mac.<\/h3>\n
If you are buying a new camera, keep fie formats in mind.\u00a0 If you know you are going to be doing a lot of editing, make sure your new camera does not record in mpeg2 unless you do not mind converting it every single time. \u00a0Honestly, I would mind. \u00a0I do a lot of editing, and having to convert all my footage would be a time-consuming chore I’d rather not hassle with. \u00a0Someone doing less editing might not mind as much.<\/p>\n
I hope this information helps you make great videos!<\/p>\n
