ArcSoft Media Impression is the video editing software that came built into my Kodak Zi8 video camera. While it is very basic -- in some aspects not even as powerful as Windows Movie Maker -- I've found that it will accept almost any kind of video file format or resolution you can find, and will produce good results. So I make this simple test video using a large variety of video clips from different camcorders in different file formats to see how it all would turn out. It accepted every format I could find, all the way from the videos made by a crappy camera to an 0 Canon AVCHD camcorder, except for FLV and an old version of QuickTime MOV using the Sorenson codec (it decoded the video but not the audio). Media Impression can render your edited video in "HD" at 720P or 1080P, but I chose WVGA (848x480) in order to keep the file size and rendering time reasonably small. But note that if you don't already have a Kodak camcorder, Media Impression is not worth buying alone, because ArcSoft charges .99, and you can get an entire Kodak Zx1 or ZxD camcorder, including the Media Impression software, for less than that!

In this video I will show you a cool small afordable camera that records good quality video without breaking your budget. Best of all with the software included in the Flip Video you can upload directly to youtube, aol video, or myspace.
