Help needed please

whenever i record games with my capture card, it saves them as a "MPEG-2" file. I can't convert this into a file i can edit

, this is very annoying and frustrating, any help is appreciated. Thanks Jaydee.

Go to Forum- Video Editing help- This is how I make my montages by Thehalogod.

Dl virtual dub and huffy, and then you can convert it into AVI files.

i tried using virtual dub, it just shows an error message, "MPEG Import Filter:invalid pack at position 3: marker bit not set; possible MPEG-2 stream"

What capture card do you have, and editing software your trying to open the files with?

IMLGI Jaydee · 10-29-2006, 12:47 PM

Well, the capture card is jus called "Smart TV Card", and i've tried sony vegas, virtual dub and a few other convertors i can't remember the name of :s

alright, vegas will NOT open MPEG-2 files without a plugin

i suggest you go to www.downloads.com

and download "Windows Media Encoder 9" and convert your files to .wmv than open them in Vegas to edit

IMLGI Jaydee · 10-29-2006, 12:53 PM

Ok, i'll give it a try

IMLGI Jaydee · 10-29-2006, 12:58 PM

Windows media ecoder says theres an error and closes automatically when i try to select the input file.

find a kid with glasses, somewhere down the computer hall at your school, and ask him, he will know

Lol, its messing with my head to the point it hurts. I got a convertor and it worked, but the quality was reduced and it had a watermark over the front of the output file. Only way to remove it was to pay about £100, so i ain't doin that.
