I recently bought the new Drift HD and mounted it to the left side of my helmet. This has caused two problems for me:
1) I didn't realize the Drift HD recorded .MOV files! I don't own a Mac, so I'm forced to convert them to something useable in Windows (.AVI). I've tried various conversion software every one of them lowers the quality in both video and audio. Then I have to rotate the video 180º, which causes problem #2.
2) Rotating the footage drops the quality again, slightly, from what I can tell.
I'm a total noobcake when it comes to video editing. Short of buying a Mac, do I have any options? Any Drifters here use Windows to edit their vids? I love the quality of the videos when I play them back in QuickTime, but I can't seem to edit them without ruining them.
Thanks for your help!
