Hello

I use Adobe Premiere Pro for editing my movies from my digital video camera. I edit the raw movie then export to whatever file type I need.

My wife has taken to using the video on her Sony digital camera rather than carrying around two cameras. It saves in Mpeg and Premiere seems to hate mpeg's even though it can use them. The output is very jumpy and low quality.

I've searched around and the best thing to do is convert the videos to avi before editing in premiere. What software would you recommend I use for this? These mpeg's are not the highest quality to start with so I don't want to lose any quality. And I don't want to add a lot of time and effort to this step. I've tried some dvd to avi software in the past and it was a pain. Half ended up out of sync and lots of manual work was required.

I appreciate any suggestions

I have asked the same question in another sub forum. Hopefully someone answers. I have used Prism and Xilisoft video converters. I just hate to pay High $$$s to try something that won't work.

I would investigate Premiere pro and find out why it doesn't
handle mpeg. If you re-encode it to an intermediate format, you're
potentially losing a generation in quality.

You could try Avisynth as an alternative, open the mpeg in an
avisynth scipt and frameserve to PP. Save time and space.

Or you could encode the mpeg (in Virtualdub)to perhaps something like
Huffy avi, and open that in PP.
(Huffy and virtualdub are free)
