MXF file format comes from like Canon XF300/XF100, Panasonic HVX200/HPX300, Sony EX camera, etc. It is not compatible with many programs just like Apple Final Cut Pro. So convert mxf file to FCP mov video is a necessary step to do if you want watch your video from your camcorder which export mxf file.

How to convert Canon Powershot S95 MOV HD to AVI/WMV video for editing?

Filed under: Canon — admin @ 11:30 pm

How to convert Canon Powershot S95 MOV HD to AVI/WMV video for editing?

Why we love the Canon PowerShot S95? Particularly because it not only delivers spectacular photos, but also lets you record video in beautiful high definition (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD videos and still photos on your HDTV. It’s great that the Canon S95 can shoot in 720 HD but when loading the H.264/MOV videos for editing, many new users get involved in issues like load error and momentary glitch. This is because the HD MOV clips are encoded in H.264 codec, a most advanced codec that compresses video in highest compression ratio, but not so acceptable for editing software such as Magix Edit Pro, Sony Vegas, and Adobe Premiere. Generally speaking, editing software prefer AVI, WMV, MPG to H.264 encoded MOV, MTS, TOD footage.

If you’re caught by the editing issues of Canon Powershot S95 footage, I advise you converts the H.264 MOV files to AVI or WMV with Pavtube HD Video Converter before editing. Why Pavtube HD Video Converter? Basically, it does a good job in converting H.264 .mov files to AVI, WMV formats for editing in sync and not looses much quality.

Step 3. Adjust video and audio settings to optimize output file quality
Click “Settings” button, then you will be able to adjust audio and video parameters on the popup window to customize the output file quality, these adjustable parameters include codec name, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channel.
