Try looking into Cyberlink PowerDirector (my favorite) or Corel VideoStudio X2 Pro.

Yea, you could use this on imovie. h.264 codec is compatible for most editing apps. This does the job right. I highly recommend this.

I would also like more information on encoding to .mp4 I have tried SUPER encoder to convert .avi to .mp4 and the device keeps saying it is an incompatible type. I know MPEG-4 is what it needs, however. Is it a problem in the resolution? Thanks for any help.

Help! What is the best editing software for a PC? I ordered this camcorder after reading the grand reviews- but I am a music teacher who uses imovie and idvd on a Mac at school. I have a Dell PC at home. What should I get to make awsome DVD's combining photos, video and music? I am very upset at the cost and difficult editing.

On page 146 of my copy of the Image Mixer 3 SE Software Guide I found some information about writing back to the camcorder.It has to be AVCHD standard only and I guess you need to use Canon Image Mixer 3 SE to do the editing. There are other limitations in the guide.I have not tried this yet. I write my edited movies to AVCHD on DVD-R and play on PS3, Blu-Ray Player or computer.One thing I like is the on-camera "Playlist". Even without a computer you can select specific clips and then play them in sequence.Of course you can't trim an individual clip but you can tailor the presentation of clips to a specific audience and then change it again and again....No tape ! I love this Non-linear stuff !

I dont know. Ive used this only to edit and fix current videos and i havent had alot of time to play with program and discover its full potential. Sorry that i cant help you more.

yeah, it only renders to mpeg 2, but I edit using sony Vegas software to render my final video as mp4 and it looks pretty good. If you are have internet access you are supposed to be able to download a codec that allows the Hauppauge to capture as MP4, but I have not done that. hope this helps.

It depends on the software. I found that Adobe Premiere could directly import the Flip MP4 format while Corel's VideoStudio could not. I had to convert it first using QuickMediaConverter, but there are many freeware converters available.

That is what I did with this camcorder and a video capture software. BUT!! I bought a refurbished one of these and it ruined one of my tapes. bye bye precious home videos.

I use a Mac, transfer video from the camera to iMovie, edit as needed, then save it as a QuickTime movie which I transfer to iDVD & burn. This may sound like a lot of steps, but seldom is what I "tape" exactly what I want to save. By editing, I can make the taped material halfway decent. Much better than using it just as it was taped.

After you do this, you may have some trouble viewing and editing the video on your mac, but there are several solutions. The best one I've found - mentioned in a review here - is visualhub. You can use the trial version, the full version, or isquint, and change the avi files to mp4s or dv files. It's very easy and works wonderfully! I've found this little camera to be a pleasure to use. Have not yet tried editing files in iMovie, but they look very good on the computer. )

do you know any good avi to mpeg converters or something because the ones that i tried will either convert part of the file, or leave its logo in the center; and of course the zen converter doesnt work at all for me. thanks

Do you need to use sdcopy to get it onto your computer? If I used the imagemixer software to get it on my computer, how can I convert it to another file type? I have such simple requirements - my in laws want a copy of a video that I took. I don't want to have to install my image mixer software just so that they can watch it. It just doesn't make sense. I need more instruction. Can someone spell it out with little baby steps?

No Im afraid it doesnt Convert Video Formats. Its Playback Not Editing Software.

Just plug it into your computer and download the software that comes with it. This is the biggest downside I've found with the bloggie. You have to use their software to send clips to family and friends. I wasn't crazy about their software program. I did manage to copy and paste the clips to another program after downloading to the bloggie software and sent out videos that way. It was just another step and made the process longer.
