I'm sort of a novice so bare with me please...
I'm a fishing guide and I own my own forum.In trying to help others I've been doing a line of videos. Well in trying to improve the quality I had bought a Sony Handy Cam. After last weekends shoot I uploaded 2 days worth of video. The video is in MPEG. My operating program is windows xp and does not recognize MPEG but it does AVI which was no issue with my Sony Cyber Shot.
So here I'm sitting with several short 30 second to 2 minute clips .I've tried to update codec. No help...I went to Microsoft Fix It and no help there either.
Outside of buying a program to convert each clip one at a time which seemed to take forever on the trial versions...what else is there?
My lap top has windows 7 and it reads them ,but it is cumbersome during the editing process.
What's the plan of action????
