HD Home move editor

[Richard Shaw]

My new camera takes 720p clips (AVCHD) and I wanted to do a little
editing, but after installing Kino which I've used in the past, I
found it downgraded it to 480p DV video. Are that any full video
editors that handle HD movies correctly?

Thanks,
Richard

Thanks, I knew it as ffvhuff, the name you see when "ffmpeg -codecs" is used. 
Grep didn't match it spelled with a single f.

Well, I have no idea what yuv422p is, so I couldn't say :-).

Hufyuv is what I call the result of running mencoder with:

   mencoder -ovc lavc -lavcopts format=422p:vcodec=huffyuv
            -o <outfile>.avi <infile>.avi

It is large, but not as large as uncompressed video, and it
is a lossless compression.

What is hufyuv? Is that another name for yuv422p? Or another format completely?

I hate to bring it up, but if you have a PS3, the latest update brings 
some decent video editing and sharing capabilities.  Just saying ...

If you have an infinite amount of disk space and patience
you can convert pretty much anything to a lossless
hufyuv avi file with mencoder, then use avidemux on
it and encode the edited result in any of the formats
avidemux supports.

Yeah, I already use it for some simple splitting, splicing and the
such. I'm looking for a full featured editor with transitions, text
effects, etc
