Hello Briancher and welcome to the forum.

You don't give enough detail to be able to help. What method/s have you tried up to now?

p.s. - As far as I can see from an online search, the camera records mp4 H264 files so they should import into PDR without any problem. Do they play back on your computer in say VLC media player?

Hi Briancher,

I have an XDV 360 camera as well, Pano View 360 Panoramic Action Cam. A one-lensed 360 camera that outputs a circular fisheye type of file. Is it that one?

To use this footage, you need to convert (stitching it's called) the fisheye video to an 'equirectangular' format using other software. There's a few options here that are free.

First, XDV has it's own Windows app to convert your videos. If you format your SD card within the camera, a textfile with links to it should be placed on there. Sadly the Windows link seems to be broken (a few weeks ago, maybe fixed by now, I don't know). Since you own it and the software was free in any case, I've attached it here (is that ok Cyberlink?)

Other options are the stitching software for either the 360Fly camera (360Fly Director) or for the Kodak Pixpro SP360 4K camera. You can Google for them and download them from the official sites for those camera's. The software is free to download and use.

I'm seriously hoping (and counting on it) that PowerDirector will support fisheye and dual fisheye footage per quick patch or at least in version 16. They have to. Their main competition Pinnacle Studio in it's 20.5 version recently added native support for those.

regards, Frank

Hi, thanks for your reply. Before I got the chance to reply with more information, someone else on the forum sent me the software I needed. Thanks for your help. This is my first time on the forum and it has been very useful. I am new to video editing so am sure I'll be back soon for more help. Thanks Brian

As of today when I downloaded and installed it, PixPro sp360_4K will not run unless it can find a kodak PixPro camera connected to the computer.
The most recent version of the software PixPro VR sp360 will not recognize the files of anything except those from Kodak camera.

At the moment, the 360Fly program still works with the XDV footage, but converting the footage to Equirectangular format is very slow. Still, at this time it's better than nothing.

Excuse my English, I'm from another country. Do you know of any other free converters that have some of these resolutions?
2448x2448
2048x2048
1440x1440
When I use 360Fly, it converts the video by cropping the image a bit because it does not have the resolution compatible with my camera. Thank you in advance, I'm in great need.

I would politely ask you both to attach 5-10 second files here, or send the to me so I can add them to my sample file page on my website. Thank you. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
