Transferring EDITED avi files back to my CF card (S400)

:?:

Here's what I am trying to accomplish:

I shoot a lot of snowboarding videos on my S400. Because the avi's generated by the camera have a frame rate of 20 fps, I convert the avi into a new avi with a frame rate of say (i use STOIK Video Converter to do the job), 24 fps so that I can edit the program using my video editing program.

Is there a way I can tranfer the edited video back onto the CF card so that I can play it back on the camera? I tried changing back the frame rate to 20 fps and then renaming the video file to match one of the thumb (.THM) files on the CF card so that I could play it back, but to no avail. When I turn the S400 back on in playback mode and the thumbnail comes up, it says "Corrupted Data" and I can't play the movie.

I wanted to be able to have the edited video back on the camera for a few reasons. One reason would be so that I could "easily" plug the audio output to my TV and then capture the whole thing on my VCR instead of going through Firewire.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

did you encode the edited movie in the same format as the original?

I don't think you can. I've read the same question lots of times on this forum and as far as I know nobody managed to get it to work yet.

Canon ZoomBrowser allows you to upload pics to the camera, but AVI's are a nono.

I encoded the edited movie as an avi file, using Indeo Video 5.04 compression and MPEG Layer 3 audio compression. I haven't checked as to what the original Canon AVI files use for video/audio compression - I guess that's something to look into to make the edited AVI files as similar to the Canon AVI files.

I have no idea if it's possible but if you want to try you will have to use exactly the same video and audio codecs as the ones that the camera uses.

Unless these match the camera will have no chance of being able to playback the files.

Canon cameras use m-jpeg for video.
