Can someone please direct me to a good converter as all of my video files from my 5d2 cant be used on windows moviemaker. Need to convert them to Avi or Wmv files. I am using vista 32bit on an old laptop. Can anyone here help me please?
Kind regards

I moved this to the Action forum, where we discuss things of a video nature (other than SmugMug video support.)

First, I implore you not to use Windows MovieMaker. MovieMaker is an affront to serious video production and creates more problems than it solves.

Second, if you are talking about the full-HD video that a Canon 5D MKII can provide, 1080p30, realize that an older computer is not a viable candidate for processing HD video. Compared to DV video, full-HD video has around 6 times the resolution, but it also has a more complicated codec, meaning that it takes around 8 times more computer to process full-HD as compared to DV video.

I recommend at least a 4-core computer processor, with at least 4GB RAM, at least a 500GB hard drive and a video card with a multi-core GPU. This will also mean 64-bit processor and 64 bit operating system to manage the extra RAM.

For software I recommend either Corel VideoStudio X4 (which I have) or Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD. I beleiev that both are capable of handling the video files from a Canon 5D MKII natively.
