Convert Canon 60D MOV to 1080p AVI/WMV for editing and playing back

convert canon 60d mov to avi As it seems with every other generation of Canon dSLRs, the EOS 50D was a solid, if somewhat uninspired follow-up to the extremely well-received 40D. Now it's the 60D's turn to be the interesting model. It combines some of the best elements of the T2i and 7D in an updated--and occasionally frustrating--redesigned body. Canon 60D is an HD camcorder that record videos of 720/60p and 1080/30p s SD in MOV format. How good they play on your PC depends on how powerful your PC is. Basic editing software may have a hard time with the 60D footage, as it is H.264 encoded high-def streams. If you have a powerful PC with powerful editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5 (or Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD, Pinnacle Studio) installed, it won’t be a problem for playing and editing the 60D footage, otherwise you may get involved in playing back and editing issues. In that case, many people convert the H.264 codec into something more common, e.g. AVI and WMV.
