Can you connect a Kodak ziP hand held camera to Pinnacle Studio 11 editing software?

Randy

I bought the ziP so that I can just put the USB drive into the computer and transfer the video into the Pinnacle Studio 11 editing software, but now the software is telling me to format the SD chip. When I format it, it won't work inside the camera. Anyone have any ideas? I have Vista (yeah...dumb move I know.)

Or, because I've always wanted to edit and for some reason it never works. Either i don't have the right software or some other stupid reason. I'm getting ready to just break down and buy a nice editing system once and for all. Does anyone have actual good recommendations for something I can use with the Kodak camera? I also have a Sony hand held camera that doesn't have drivers for Vista...and I can't find them anywhere. Please help me finally get to edit! Thanks. 10 points to most helpful answer.
Sorry its a Zi8. Been a rough day.

kodak zi8 records in mov format,can't be accepted by most editing softwares,try using iorgsoft video converter,it can convert kodak mov videos to avi,mpeg2,mp4 compatible with Pinnacle Studio 11 ,hope it helps!

before editing and uploading video from kodak zi8 to youtube, should it be converted first?

.

or can it all just be rendered using sony vegas.
if so, what to "render as"?

Answer
Here's the list of some well-known formats which YouTube supports:

WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec)
.MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files - (typically supporting h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec)
.AVI (Many cameras output this format - typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM)
.MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio)
.WMV
.FLV (Adobe - FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)

And Kodak zi8 recodes MOV files.

From it, kodak video files is supported by youtube, therefore, just made sure it's less than 10 minutes, smaller than 2GB in size, and in an acceptable format, you're ready to upload it.

Click the Upload link at the top of any YouTube page.
Click the "Browse" button to browse for the video file you'd like to upload to our site. Select the file you want to upload.
Click the 'Upload Video' button to start the uploading process.
As the video file is uploading, enter as much information about your video as possible in the relevant fields (including Title, Description, Tags, and Category). You're not required to provide specific information, but the more information you include, the easier it is for users to find your video!
Click the 'Save changes' button to save the updates you've made to the video file.


BTW, if you don't mind, i want to recommed a kodak video software for you, as a kodak zi8 user.
