HomeWhy we love the Canon PowerShot S95? Particularly because it not only delivers spectacular photos, but also lets you record video in beautiful high definition (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD videos and still photos on your HDTV. It's great that the Canon S95 can shoot in 720 HD but when loading the H.264/MOV videos for editing, many new users get involved in issues like load error and momentary glitch. This is because the HD MOV clips are encoded in H.264 codec, a most advanced codec that compresses video in highest compression ratio, but not so acceptable for editing software such as Magix Edit Pro, Sony Vegas, and Adobe Premiere.
Generally speaking, editing software prefer AVI, WMV, MPG to H.264 encoded MOV, MTS, TOD footage. If you're caught by the editing issues of Canon Powershot S95 footage, I advise you converts the H.264 MOV files to AVI or WMV with Pavtube HD Video Converter before editing.
