Edited Movie Compatabality

[cA70]

I have a card reader writer, and can easily put unedited movies taken from the camera and put them back on. However, i am having trouble with putting edited movies back on the camera (CF wither writer) that i have edited.

I am using Adobe Premiere 6.5. I kept getting curropted data and invalid format. Is there a certain codec/compression or anything that i have to use to make it compatable? (hopefully with Adobe Premiere to save double exporting of the video)

Has anyone put any edited video's back on there camera, if so what software and how did you do it?

It won't work. The problem is that the movie, when recorded by the camera, is in a compressed format. When you download it with ZoomBrowser, it is decompressed and converted to an avi or mpeg format. I've been reading this site for awhile, and as far as I know, noboday has found an application that will recompress and convert an avi back to the Canon proprietary format so that the camera will recognize it again. Sorry.

There is already a thread about this at http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16258

I found a Codec that encodes and decodes these files fine. You can edit movies as you wish, then encode them as other file types eg. MPEG2 etc. Goto the link above and it has a link.

Now you want to put edited movies back on the camera. Try encoding the edited movies into MJPEG avi again, then transfer them.

Right under my nose and didn't know about it.

At the moment i'm playing with prem, i'm looking throuigh all there codec's seems they have things that look similar but don't know if they will do the job. Will get back to you if they work (although u already gave me and, another wouldn't hurt)

The codec in the linked post above, i think that it is only a 60 day trial.

Does anyone know of a free solution?

Well i tried it from premiere and had no luck. They say they are MJPG compression.

Now i'll have a go at the codec in the link.
