For years I owned a Sony DV Handycam and got great home movie results editing on various versions of Sony Vegas. We have just acquired an Hitachi HD camera which I thought would make life easier not having to capture the footage in real time.
According to GSpot the camera records in the following format
AVI Video: size 1920 x 1080, f/sec 29.97, codec H.264 MPEG-4 AVC. Audio: 48000Hz, 385 kb/s.
The spec details with the camera say it also records in MOV format although I have yet to find this.
Even though GSpot reports that I have the codecs installed, Vegas will not recognize the files, or in some instances, only import the audio so I have to convert before I am able to edit.
My questions are......
Which format do I convert to in order to maintain the quality?
Do I have to change the video size / frame rate?
Once I have edited the footage, what format (video size & frame rate) do I render to in order to watch the files played from a media hard drive onto a flat screen HD TV.
Thanks for any help.
