The Sony Alpha A6500 is an upper mid-range mirrorless camera with a 24 Megapixel APSC sensor, built-in stabilisation, touchscreen, 4k video and a powerful AF system that’s perfect for action shooters. Video can be recorded at up to 4K (3840x2160p) resolution in Super 35mm format (XAVC S, AVCHD etc) using the full width of the image sensor with full pixel readout and no pixel binning. As a result, the camera collects 6K of information, approximately 2.4x the number of pixels required for 4K video. This is then oversampled to produce smoother video with greater tonal range.

Sony Alpha a6500’s XAVC S and AVCHD format is still not so popular and widely supported by the usual video editors including Sony Vegas Pro/Premiere Pro. To solve the problem, it will be better to transcode Sony Alpha a6500 4K XAVC S/AVCHD to a more “edit” friendly codec for Sony Vegas Pro/Premiere Pro.To get Sony Vegas Pro/Premiere Pro working beautifully with Sony Alpha a6500 4K files, the easy workaround is to transcode the Sony Alpha a6500 4K XAVC S/AVCHD files to a format like MPEG-2 that Sony Vegas Pro/Premiere Pronatively supports with Pavtube Video Converter.

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Quadcopter with Gimbal-Stabilized 14MP, 1080p Camera from DJI is based on the same air frame as the Phantom 2 and Phantom 2 Vision. Unlike its siblings, however, it features a 14 MP camera that is stabilized and controlled with an integrated 3-axis gimbal.

Canon MVI Video Converter-Convert MVI to AVI,MVI to WMV,MVI to DVD

Admin — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 05:46:01 +0000

“I have a Canon camera that produces MVI._ files which are not recognized by the ArcSoft ShowBiz DVD 2 program that I use for building DVD”s/home movies. I need to be able to convert the MVI to AVI or WMV files so that the movie clips I take can be used seamlessly in the DVD program….”

Movie clips taken with EOS 5D Mark II, IXUS 130, Power Shot SX 200IS and many other Canon cameras are normally saved as MVI_xxxx files. These MVI files are actually Motion-JPEG/H.264 encoded video with .AVI or .MOV as file extension. The SD MVI videos shooting at 640×480 end up as .avi files and HD MVI files at 1280×720 or full HD 1920×1080 .mov files. H.264 .mov is a processing intensive format that does not playback or edit very well, while M-JPEG .avi is not compatible with Quicktime and iMovie 11. The solution to this is to use Pavtube MVI Video Converter to decode the files when converting into a different, and ideally more edit friendly, compression format.

Transcode solutions with the Canon MVI Converter:

To play MVI in Windows Media Player, convert MVI video to WMV format;

To import MVI to Windows Movie Maker/DVD Creator, convert MVI to AVI format;

To add MVI videos to iTunes/QuickTime player, convert MVI to MP4 format;

To use MVI movies in iMovie/Final Cut Express, transcode MVI to Apple Intermediate Codec;

To edit MVI footage in Final Cut Pro, transfer MVI to Apple ProRes codec.
