Does anyone know of a free video encoding program? I'm having trouble tring to put some videos onto my computer, and I'm wondering what programs you guys use. Mine says that the camcorder that I am using is not compatible with the program, yet I used the same fucking program last year to do this! What shall I use to do this?

I use something called "ImageMixer" that came with my camcorder. Also on other occasions, I use "Ulead VideoStudio" which came with my Firewire PC Card. Both have been pretty good, but VideoStudio is very unstable if you decide to use USB.

Also sometimes use Windows MovieMaker. Not as good as the above 2, but it works.
