Am trying to get my head round video editing, so have a couple of "basic" questions re formats. Ok here goes.
The camera records in MPEG2, but to edit in Moviemaker I need to convert to AVI....does this lose quality? (Also why doesn't MM just accept MPEG?)
Then what is the best way to save it to DVD? I read that when saving AVI to DVD it will automatically convert back to MPEG which loses quality?
I think basically what I'm asking is what is the best way to edit my footage (preferably with Moviemaker as it's quite good and easy), then save it to DVDs without any loss?
Thanks,
John
