Basic How to Instructions - 101

sushilpatel · 06-24-2009, 04:53 PM

Hi,
Can someone please provide some basic instructions on how to take the video from the HD Camcorder and get it to the PC and onto a DVD. I am new to the HD Cam and seem to be missing a step or two in the process. I have a Canon HF11 and I am using the ImageMixer software it comes with. Not the greatest software to get the data to a DVD. Looking to see if there are any conversions to the file needed, or some process that I have missed. The Canon has a M2ts file format that I am working with. Not sure if the format can be changed on the Camcorder or not or what format to change it to...

Thx

The camera format is MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 rather than m2t.

Question #1. Do you have a Blu-Ray player? If not, you will have to convert the files somehow since DVD players cannot play the files that an HD camera creates. There should be a burn to DVD option in the software you have. That should automate the process for you.

I don't have a Canon, so it's tough to help here.
