I just spent the last two days capturing footage from the game "Xenosaga". I used Dazzle External Hardware.
the files are all 720x480 at 29.97 fps and the file extension is .mpg
I'm a total noob when it comes to video editing and compression.
The files will load into premier but they are kinda choppy and are taking a long time to load( in Premier or any program i try to use to view the files.)
It may be that they are uncompressed. for example a 5 minute clip is close to 250 mb.
I can't open the files with TMPGEnc or virtualdub and I'm not sure where to proceed from here. The clips are useless in Premier since they are choppy and with the load time it would take ages to finish my video.
Any suggestions or guidance would be much appreciated.
and sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm kind of in a panic.
