Editing from Drift HD

[Rupe]

So, I took some video today with the new Drift HD headcam. I used the 720 resolution setting not the full 1080 as I am sure 720 is good enough.

 

I can watch the clips on my quicktime player and they look fine.

 

They wont open in windows movie maker at all, it wont see any video files when you look in the correct folder for them.

 

They will open up in window live movie maker but you cant play them or do anythign with them?

 

 

Does anyone know what I should be doing? I was hoping to edit in movie maker as I have used it before.

i haven't got a drift, but i presume that you don't have the right codec.

this free download should sort it out

Free-Codecs.com : Download FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder 2011-03-23, FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder 2010-09-07 and FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder 2011-01-07 SSE : FFDSHOW is a DirectShow decoding filter

 

It comes up with a whole list of codecs but I dont know which I want!?

 

Not very clever at this stuff!

i'd go for the top one, but you may have a 64bit operating system, in which case the second from bottom (says x64 at the end)
