Just for the record - may not be relevant for you here, John - in iMovieHD I've found that the iSight Project setting is much quicker to import and with a much better quality result than the MPEG4 Project setting, for importing all my Nokia MP4 640x480 clips, my Canon Powershot AVI files, and my Kodak MOV files. Not quite sure why or when one would ever want to use the MPEG4 Project setting - iSight setting always works much better.

I've been playing around with the Xacti E2 and importing into iMovieHD as MP4 but it doen't seem to play well, especially with titles. I just read a Tweet from @missbhavens and she too is unhappy with Xacti iMovie setup. Is the best wat to edit this footage with the Mpeg converter (name escapes me right now) that converts it back to DV footage before iMovie import. Or is there a simple fix by changing the bitstream rate. > Thanks, I really want to get the hang of this for faster uploads and avoiding the miniDV camera at times. > JC > > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Rupert http://twittervlog.tv/ Creative Mobile Filmmaking Shot, edited and sent with my Nokia N93 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
