Thanks, but that's not my problem, VS12 reads and edits the MP4 file directly from the Xacti with no problems at all. My problem is slow editing, it's a different problem to my previous thread. If you actually mean I should convert my MP4 Xacti files to MPEG2 first before I edit so that it will speed up my editing, then I've tried that and it doesn't really help. The only conversion I need to do at present is after I render my finished project to MEP2 and then convert to MP4. I'll try MPEG Streamclip for this, but there are of course plenty of options for that. Dave.
