I recently got a Sony High Definition Video Camera with a HDD. I have taken some short high defination sample videos just to test it out, and I tried to upload it onto my laptop. None of my programs, including Adobe Premiere was able to recodnize it. So I installed the "Picture Motion Browser" so that I would be able to capture the video, and I was able to once it was installed. I noticed then, that the file that I had uploaded wasn't in any standard format, rather a ".m2ts". What? I used the "Convert To MPEG-2 and Save" option and exported that way. When I then went to check the properties of the mpg file, it showed that its reselution was standard definition. It turns out that the strange original file type was high definition, but exporting it lowered the qualtiy. Does anybody have any idea how to export it into a standard file and stil keep the high definition?
