Camera Trouble

With the camera I used, my parents camera, unfortunately it was filming onto a tape, and when i decided to put the video onto my computer at home to transfer it onto a USB pen, i found that the movie was a .WMV file, which is only compatible with Windows/Microsoft and not Apple Mac's. So i found a program that would let me convert the file into an AVI file, which is compatible.

But alas, when i got into Media first thing on a wednesday morning, i put my usb into the mac and found out that my computer had used a codec which the school hadn't got (a codec helps translate the video file and play it) to transform it into an AVI file.

So i went onto an old windows computer in the next room and luckily i had put the WMV file on my pen as-well, as i found i cold convert the file with the windows computer.

As i am typing it is converting and is taking its time...

When it is done i will start my editing and start getting this film into its finishing stages!
