Which file type to use for editing

I recently filmed a school talent show to create DVDs for the parents. I'll be using PrE 9 to edit. I understand the output for the movie will need to be MPEG2 for the DVD. We used three different cameras (I know this is a bad thing to do with PrE), but we used what we have available. Though, we did use a GoPro Hero2 mounted on the piano to give a unique perspective. Consequently I need to convert the video files into a common format for editing. Is there a "best" file format to edit in or is there a file format that is easiest to work with in Premiere Elements while maintaining the best quality for the DVD output?
Here is what we used:
Camera 1 (with the audio track from the sound board) was a Canon Vixia HF300. It exported in the dreaded .mts format (half the show at 24mbps and half at 17mbps)
Camera 2 was a Nikon 5100 as .mov files, 1920x1080, H.264, Linear PCM, Total bit rate 19k
Camera 3 was a GoPro Hero 2 recorded .mp4 1280x780 H.264 Total bit Rate 15k
Since the aspect ratios are not equivalent, I plan on using black bars as opposed to cropping.
I'm editting on an Apple MacBookPro 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8gb RAM running OSX 10.7
Also, should I use Quicktime to convert these files into the common format I choose? Ironically, all this footage is editable in iMovie, but iMovie is horrible for multi-camera.
Thanks,
Ed

Over on the Windows side of the aisle where I am, I would say convert all to DV AVI since the end will be a DVD, not a BluRay
For Mac, I guess the SD version of DV AVI in the MOV wrapper
I have some saved discussions & links, but have NO idea if any of these places have Mac versions
Tools to Convert to DV-AVI http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317
Convert http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:How_do_I_convert_my_files%3F
Convert your HD files to DV-AVI Type II with 48KHz 16-bit Audio
As well as the links just above, use Google to find conversion software
I have NOT used the products below, I only forward due to other mentions... so YMMV and all the usual disclaimers... check the links and read to find out if one of the products listed below will rip or convert the files you have to something you need for editing

  • Need Help regarding which Material Type to use for the Scenario

    Hi,
    Here we are configuring the service scenario.
    Suppose Electric Switch of customer flat is not working.
    Here in this case I will purchase the switch. And along with service order
    I will do the delivery of the Material. Then will raise the Invoice to the customer
    with service charge as well as material cost.
    Here I will have to run the MRP also for that material  to raise the PR if stock goes below
    the reorder point.
    So I will have to maintain the Purchase view, Sales View & MRP view to that Material.
    So in this case which standard material Type can I use for this material? Or I have to create
    our own material Type for this material.
    Regards,
    Pradip

    ROH is usually a material type that is supposed to be consumed in production.
    HALB is a semifinished good, own produced and meant to consumed in production.
    Both are usually not forseen to be sold.
    A material that you buy yourself and sell to a customer is a trading good, which is HAWA in SAP.

  • Which service type to use for Proxy Service

    I have a question regarding a Proxy service.
    I have a need for a local (transport local) Proxy service which is called by another proxy service.
    It is a synchronous service which has an XML incoming message and an XML outgoing message.
    I have the following questions:
    - Does it make a difference in performance when I choose a WSDL webservice or a Messaging service?
    - Which one would you choose and why?
    Thanx

    Does it make a difference in performance when I choose a WSDL webservice or a Messaging service?Hardly there would be any difference.
    Which one would you choose and why?I would choose XML type messaging type proxy because input and output are XML messages. I won't choose WSDL web-service because it should be used in case of SOAP packagaing only (in web-service context, to enable SOAP and WS support) to mock a web-service which has a WSDL (and a XSD) associated with it.

  • Which file type should I use and how I use it?

    Hello!
    I need to create a file with some data that has been inserted manually.
    In this file, for example, there are:
    ProjectName1: string1, string7… string10, date1
    ProjectName2: string11, string15… string20, date2
    ProjectNamek: string 100, string 116 … string 140, date1
    I know only one thing: one of the strings.
    What I need to find in the file:
    I need to find the string at one of these rows and get its ProjectName and date.
    For example: if I have string15,
    I should find string15 in the file, and get its ProjectName and date:
    ProjectName2, date2
    Which file type should I use and how I use it? What is the best solution?
    Thanks!

    (ie:
    1. ProjectName always starts the line and ends with a ':'.
    2. The rest of the strings on the line are separated by ", " and will never contain ", "
    you might also want to have a look at String.split().

  • How to set up set which NIC card to use for multicast?..

              I just downloaded Rolling Patch 1 for WLS6.0SP2.

              Thanks Kumar, I'll try this.
              Does this -Dweblogic.interfaceAddress used only for multicast. Or this is also
              used to talk to AdminServer?.
              The other problem I am facing is when I restart the AdminServer in recovery mode
              it's not finding my WebApp servers, because my webapp servers are on public network
              and my admin (management) server is on private network.
              please look at http://newsgroups.bea.com/cgi-bin/dnewsweb?cmd=article&group=weblogic.developer.interest.management&item=1217&utag=

  • Controlling which email address is used for group members?

    Howdy Folks,
    Is there a way to control which email address is used for contacts that you have put into a group in Address Book?
    For example, say John Smith is a member of an Address Book group I have created. John's Address Book entry contains two email addresses for him, one for work and one for home.
    When I send an email to the group I want to have it sent to John's work email address.
    I have experimented by editing the entry and making sure the desired address is the first one listed for the individual in question, but that doesn't do the trick.
    Thanks in advance for any tips!
    --gordon
    15" PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Launch Address Book, choose Help > Address Book Help and type "group addresses" in the search box. Read the article titled "Selecting which addresses to use for members of a group". Does that solve your problem?

  • Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing?

    Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing? I recently had a crash of CS5 Bridge. It seems to have caused a problem with Aperture. So, I reinstalled both CS5 and Aperture. Before installing CS5 I uploaded NEF (Nikon RAW) files to Aperture. Now I have reinstalled CS5 I want to use it to edit the same photos from Aperture, as I know more about editing in CS5 than Aperture. I tried to export to CS5 but, Aperture would not give me  that option. At least I could not find it.

    You can set an external editor in the "Aperture Preferences -> Export " settings.
    Just set this to CS5.
    The resullt of your external edit will create a new version of your image.
