Casablanca Unit: S2000 with all software. I also have a Prestige that I used on my film transfer station. I have B4W loaded on a laptop. I have a S4000 Pro that I am going to trade in for a discount on software for my B4W setup. I even have my first Cassie, the AVIO that I am going to hook up. Not sure what I will use it for but I want to see it run again.

Transfer video from HD Camcorder

Post by MikeMattke »

I have encountered a problem with the camcorders that have a hard drive. I want to transfer the video to a PC and use MovieMaker to edit. Actually, students will be using MovieMaker, I still use my S4000Pro and Avio. The problem is that the clips are transferred in the AVCHD format. Windows Media Player will play them but you cannot drag them into MovieMaker. When you do they only play audio. I have seen numerous postings on the net about downloading a total CODEC package but that did not work either. Anyone know of a third party conversion program or what files I actually have to download for this to work? Just another reason I use MacroSystem but I have to use the PC in this case.

You can import/record AVCHD to your S-4000Pro for editing.
