I have tried a variety of formats. AVI(NTSC & PAL). For my home videos (some of them were soccer games) I was able to use MP4 with pretty good success, but it seems like the file is huge! A 33 min video takes up 3.3GB!! When I record I am recording in 720p framerate is 60p. The file size is a separate issue.
The problem I am currently struggling with is editing a tv show. All I am doing is adding a bleep or white noise for swearing so it isn't any major modification. But when I go to watch the video, any time there is movement there are horizontal lines across any moving object. Like, maybe it needs some image smoothing done? This happens when I watch it through VLC. If I run it through Windows Media Player, I can see what looks like a grid of some sort, noticeable dots in a grid pattern. What am I doing wrong?
I just wanted to bleep out a couple swears and be done. Do I need to run it throguh something like handbreak or something? Thanks
