MPEG-4 Editing

Post by spellicano »

Just bought a wonderful Kodak digital still camera (V603) with very decent quality MPEG-4 video recording capability. It records the videos as Quicktime mpeg-4 with a .mov extension 640x480 30fps.

I Downloaded a clip to Video Studio 9 but when I tried to edit & create a 20 second mpeg-4 movie it rendered it as a 30 second still image, I subsequently tried to create/render the movie in numerous formats with the same result.

Is it not possible to edit, and/or convert mpeg-4 in Video Studio 9 ????. Can anybody help with this? THANKS

Yes I have the mpeg plugin installed.

Hi Spellicano, welcome to the forums..:)

If you search using the keyword "kodak" and or quicktime, you may find a thread where Maddrummer done some testing on these files, and the workaround.

Basically if I recall correctly, with your video in the timeline, go to the very end. Then go back 2 frames, and cut it, and delete the last 2 frames. Then render it, same as first video clip. Start a new project, insert the video file you just rendered, and you should be good to go...:)

Thanks, I'll give this a try. In addition I found a suggestion to try a shareware dowload program called Blink which supposedly will convert the mpeg-4 quicktime .MOV file to an mpeg-4 AVI file with no further re-compression.

I do IPOD MP4 and the downloaded add-ons enabled me to do it

It is quite wonderful....I produce my own IPOD videos and show them off to friends....I actually have had a better time producing IPOD videos then I do with burning DVDs.

If that doesn't work...

Maybe the software that came with your camera has a "save as" option that can convert the file.

Or, try SUPER (FREE!!!) It can convert between many different formats.
