1. First HG10 Test Upload
5 months ago
I just got a Canon HG10 which I really like, and am trying to find the best method for encoding into a format that Vimeo likes. So far, I'm just using the basic Ulead software that came with the camcorder and free encoders on the Web. Any advice on better editing software that converts AVCHD files to Vimeo compatible ones of the highest quality?

    I'm using Sony Vegas Studio Platinum 8.0d (trial version) downloaded from their site. It will work with Canon AVCHD files.

    I used Vimeo user Eugenia's tutorial:
    eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/09/19/crash-course-on-sony-vegas/

    and exported as WMV 1280x720:

    eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2007/11/09/exporting-with-vegas-for-vimeo-hd/

    to do this video clip: :)

    vimeo.com/686604

    Hope that helps.

    PS: Added your video to the HG10 Channel - vimeo.com/hg10

    Come on over.

    Cheers, Rico.

    I recommend tmpgenc xpress for converting and it supports m2t files. There's a free trial on tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/te4xp.html

    It has only basic editing (cut/paste/big library of image filters) and has i.e. no multiple audio tracks. But if you only need basic editing it's fast and very easy to use.
    Where it shines is converting. You can use basic templates or tweak many settings if desired.

    From my experience so far with vimeo these 2 formats seem to work fine:
    - xvid, 4-pass, insane quality setting, 3-5MB/s
    - WMV, peak/average 2-pass, 3-5MB/s

    Even though xvid is 4-pass, I did not notice much difference to WMVHD. The big benefit of WMVHD is compatibility for windows users (no codecs or other extra software needed to play back).

    Rico-- Thanks for the info and recommendations. Your video is beautifully done and uncommonly appealing. Is that a baby son or daughter in the audio near the end? No sweeter sound than a baby's voice.

    Hey Rico,
    How long is that trial version good for? Do you plan on buying the full version?
