Title: Need help choosing correct software and correct compression format for HD movies
Post by: soarwitheagles on June 27, 2011, 08:57:54 am
Hi everyone!

I need help choosing correct software and correct compression for HD movies.

Here in the USA, we can freely and legally record HD movies directly off the airwaves right onto our hard drives.  The only problem with this is some HD movies take up to 20 GB per movie!

Here's my challenge:

I would like to take some of these movies and compress them into a format where we do not lose massive amount of quality.  The mail purpose for this is so I can upload some of these movies to my wife's new Tablet computer.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Here is a couple of ideas that came to my mind:

Use either Pinnacle Ultimate v.15 or Corel VideoStudio Pro X4 [I have both software programs], and see what formats they offer, then convert all movie files to a format that can compress the files into smaller storage files.

Ok, can anyone help out on this?
