Importing SD Card Stored Video

[Guest]

My camera records to a 2gb high speed SD card in either QVGA, D1 or VGA
formats.

Is there are problem copying the AVI video files on the card using my USB SD
card reader or should I import the files through the camera via USB.

Do I need to convert these files in any way before I edit them in MM2?

=================================
Personally, I would use the card reader and
as for importing into Movie Maker...give it a try.

If you have problems importing...maybe the following
article will offer some ideas:

I think I finally figured out the easiest and best way to save my Panasonic
D-Snap's videos (SD card folder's MOL's/mpeg4's and MOV's/mpeg2's).

Where and if needed, I use SUPER to convert to WMV by telling SUPER to use
wmv>MS-mpeg-v2 (and do not tick Direct Show).

Resulting files are oddly upper case WMV and sometimes MSWMM fails at
converting the xxx.AVI.WMV file, but when it succeeds, the file ends up with
a (lower case) wmv file extension.

The file size is reduced. plus I can then edit the vids if needed, that and
they play fine in WMP.

Plus I'm finding some success in using ULead's MovieFactorySE, as it
converts many problem vids
