The videos I took in africa are all mts format! I have never seen or heard that format and I cant edit them in windows movie maker. Does anyone know of a free video editor that has a broad range of extensions it can work with?

What kind of format do you want it in?
Maccabee
I guess avi or wmv?

cant you just put the file on your computer and rename the extension to .avi or .wmv ??

Why do people not realize that changing the name doesnt change the extension.

The file with then be called, lions.avi.mts. It wouldnt be an actual avi file.

That doesn't work with most extensions. Images, sure, but not videos.

Well whatevs, I just downloaded the vegas pro trial. Its rendering as avi now. The only problem im having is editing out my dad nagging me about my saftey after a lion jabs me and I dodge it. haha!

LOL, you don't know how to properly change the name of a file.
  1. Open Windows Explorer
  2. Goto Tools>Folder Options
  3. Click the View Tab
  4. Uncheck "Hide extentions for known file types"
