Video recording 83

In addition to normal removable storage devices, so called "MTP devices" are also
supported. "MTP" is short for "Media Transfer Protocol" and refers to the transfer
protocol of media devices such as photo cameras, video cameras and MP3 players.

On older systems it is sometimes helpful to convert AVCHD files into MPEG-2 format
when importing. A corresponding query appears during importing of these files.

Note: When importing AVCHD videos it is necessary to activate (view page 325)
the MPEG-4 codec and download an audio package upgrade if necessary.
MAGIX Movie Edit Pro offers this option as soon as a codec is required.

Connect camera

Suitable cameras are essentially available in three varieties:
• Cameras featuring removable data storage: These cameras have a slot for a
memory card. Your computer should have a card reader for the corresponding
memory card, which you can then remove from the camera and insert into the
card reader. Different camera models can also be connected via USB.
• Cameras which burn DVDs directly (usually 80 mm diameter instead of the
regular 120 mm): The DVD can simply be taken out of the camera and inserted
into the computer. For so-called "Slot in DVD" drives, look beforehand in the
operational manual whether or not 80 mm DVDs (also called 3" DVDs or
MiniDVDs) are acceptable.
• Cameras with built-in hard drives: The camera will respond as a drive as soon as
it is connected via a USB cable to the PC. This additional drive will appear in
Media Pool.

Hint: The listed options and procedures reflect our experience with what works. Still,
we recommend you read the camera's manual for the exact sequence of actions and
contact the manufacturer in case of problems.
