I have been trying to convert long as in 18minute clips from an EX1 and ran into a bit of a problem.
The long clips stall Prospect 4K before conversion is complete or process through to completion but on playback the vision freezes at about 8 minutes, sometimes sooner sometimes later but the soundtrack continues to play on to end of clip.
I could not get Sony's clip browser to work so took a punt and copied the BPAV folder from the camera, then marked this folder as holding the files for conversion to cineform avi. The files all converted but the vision in the longer ones is truncated. Pulling in each file singly for conversion does not make any difference.
Any clues would be appreciated. My guess is that there is a better way of doing the conversion.
It is not the worlds greatest computer. SI2K cineform files work fine. However I have not tried to deal with a lengthy one of these.
