Making Videos from footage

[craig666]

Anybody have any luck making any videos using footage that was NOT in AHF file format?

Here's what I'm trying to do:
Use Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 to edit movies.

I've gone in and downloaded some AhF files, then hit "save as AVI".  I then take that file and drop it right into Premiere and....nothing....it says the file is damaged or corrupted.

Any tips or tricks?

Use AH film veiwer to veiw the shot you want and film it useing fraps, this will be saved as a useable file for adobe,

You could also run fraps as you fly to record it as you see it.
Fraps tends to make huge files though, someone (smokey73?) has also suggested something called guncam that allegedly has more format and size options than fraps.

I'm not familiar with Fraps or the Guncam...I assume these are programs you picked up somewhere?  Any links?

you can get the free version of fraps at fraps.com its an easy program to use
