Video Software

[Tim67]

Just got a Moultrie ReAction video camera. It's smaller than my cell phone and has a clip to mount on a hat brim. The camera shoots video at 720p hi def, standard def, and VGA. Videos play back fine if recorded in standard def, but the software seems to have some buffering problems at hi def. Can anyone recommend some video playback and editing software that can handle 720p without costing an arm and a leg?

It it more probably your video card that is lacking and not the software.

Can you think of a good program for converting or compressing videos so they're within the limits of my hardware? I haven't tried yet, but I guess if I burn a video to DVD, the buffering problems won't show up when the DVD is played back?

OJOsoft is a cheap video conversion software. Thats all it does though. Takes whatever format you are in and puts it in another. Runs 20-60 dollras for the download.

It may not solve your problem.

if youre looking for some heavy duty software adobe produces a 500 dollar video editing software.

If you use software to convert or compress hi-def video, aren't you degrading video quality, thereby defeating the point of recording hi-def in the first place? I dunno, but it seems plausible.

Mpeg streamclip for video conversion. Free.

Thanks for the tips. I downloaded WindowsLive Movie Maker and converting from the original AVI to WMV seems to do the trick. Now, I just need some game in front of me to get some "gun camera" footage
