Aaargh Movie Help

Wed Sep 24, 2008, 7:21 PM
Ok this is just about to drive me friggn nuts. I have a Kodak Camera. I used to have a Sony Camera. The Sony was all like ohh movies? Windows, wmv format yay I like windows. The Kodak is all like I like Macs I only record in Mac mov format piss off stupid PC person. mov format is fine if you want every 5 minute clip to take up a 100MB and you only want to watch it at home by yourself on the free MAC quicktime viewer and thats all you ever want to do with it. I mean I really don't want to sit here for an hour while it uploads to youtube in mov format because the file is sooo friggn huge. I've looked at all the googles and tried all the free programs and its like yes we can do that, then its like oh wait you dont have this codec and then you need that codec and then it doesn't tell you what codec you actually need it just tells me that I am missing the needed codecs. My buddies are constantly hounding me to upload my demo derby footage because in their mind I'm the only one that knows how to work all the techy mumbo jumbo to get it online. I have 25 minutes of footage which is 320 MB in mov format and all I want to do is shrink it down to a nice manageable size so I can upload it to the internets, and I would prefer to do it without having to buy $100 worth of movie editing software. Besides if all my buddies keep coming over to my house to watch quicktime movies its going to cost me $100 in beer too. So has anyone else run across this problem and if so what was your solution? I even resorted to borrowing our ulead movie software from work today only to find that it takes 4 hours to translate from mov to mpeg and then the result is upside down video and choppy sound - Im sooo glad I didn't actually buy that program. Help please anyone? - and if you say the solution is to get a Mac, I might be removing my foot from your pretty little proprietary cd drive bay.

Well thank you anyways :). I think I am going to have to split the video and the audio and then reinsert the audio track.
