Even their so-called MPEG-2 conversion creates an equally useless file, unable to be read by most editors. It stands to reason that if they&#8217;re going to force their users to use a propietary format, then ATI should at least offer their own editing software, so one can at least <i>do<\/i> something with the videos one records.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Jesu Christo, I can&#8217;t believe how long it took to make this entry!
