I really want to put together a montage of AH Gun Camera Footage, can anybody tell me how to to turn AH films into .mov files? or any other editable movie files. Not Mpegs.
Thanks.

Send hblair a private message asking this... he's probably got the most experience with it.

I tried a couple of different methods, neither of them satisfactory. Tried Camtasia, too slow. Tried running the svideo out from one PC into a video capture device into another PC, not happy with quality.
I too would like to know a good way to do this.

Why not mpegs? They're just as editable as any other format.

Think Hblair send video out to the VCR then captures back to the PC.. He uses a few different software programs to edit and add sound.
Also bushman at wwiionline does a good job of this to, suggest sending both email and asking.
Dog out...

Once ya create or get the files here's a pretty popular program for editing. Virtual Dub (http://www.virtualdub.org/index)

Something else I've discovered. The svideo output quality of my gf3 card is better than that of my gf2 card.
Unfortunately, my GF3 doesn't support "Twin View". Twin View allows me to send video to both the svideo and PC monitor at the same time.
This is a problem for me since the capture screen on the PC with the video capture device is too small to use to control the mouse or switch the PC with the GF3 back to monitor output mode making it a real pain to use.
What I'd really like to have is a video card that has built-in capture-to-disk hardware capability.
I mentioned Camtasia before, it is software that will capture Video from Aces High on the same PC. However, it loads the PC so much that a lot of frames are dropped making the video very choppy.
You may have better luck than I if you have a very fast PC. I have an Athlon 1.4 GHz, 512MB SDRAM, and GF3 and it is too slow.
