‘Guys there, I’ve stored some working videos in SD cards with my Sony camera, they have trapped me for a long time because the recordings were encoded by MPEG-2, which seems not available for Pinnacle Studio for editing. For more, I also upload them on YouTube for promotion or burn them into DVDs to our customers. Thanks in advance if there are some good methods!’
