Retain your memory of 2010 FIFA World Cup – make short film and DVD from your HD footages





This summer will definitely be different. From the 11 June to 11 July, the world's largest, most-watched football extravaganza keeps moving on in South Africa. Never before has an African country been afforded the opportunity to host such a prestigious sporting event, and almost half-a-million visitors are expected to experience the spectacle firsthand, while a worldwide, a television audience of between 35 and 40 billion "cumulative" viewers will witness the action and drama on screen.



Now the countdown of the 2010 FIFA World Cup is coming to an end. Finally the grand tournament is within reach. Although a number of greatest players will miss this moment, like Totti and Ronaldinho, still we have Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Iker Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon... Probably one of them will win the Golden Boot for most goals scored in the 2010 World Cup. And new stars are expected to emerge from out of nowhere.

If you have been fortunately enough winning a vacation and tickets for the World Cup, and are now heading for South Africa, I would say congratulations to you. Nothing beats following your team away from home. And I’m sure you won’t forget to bring your camcorder and keep it charged. Apart from the most exciting football games, most famous star players, enthusiastic soccer fans and fevered atmosphere, there are many historical attractions you should not miss. For instance, if you are going to Johannesburg for the final, the Addo National Park, the Boardwalk Casino and the main beachfront area along the Marine Drive are the top three places worth a visit.







When you take the wonderful football matches, grand stadiums and beautiful sceneries, have you ever thought of making those footages into short film and burn the HD video clips to blu-ray disc or DVD for collection? Yet the footages (especially AVCHD clips) produced by camcorders are not accepted by most editing software. For example, the Canon cams and video products on the market today save to .mov files. And almost every mov file format is different. Some you can import into Adobe Premiere Pro while other mov files no audio or the video is scrambled. Now Pavtube provides you perfect solution by converting the HD footages (MOD, TOD, MTS, MOV files generated by Canon, Sony, JVC and Panasonic cameras and camcorders to compatible and editable video files for Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Avid, Pinnacle Studio, Magix Movie Edit Pro, etc to work with. Pavtube gives you best video quality and perfect synchronization. Besides, you can also convert the above mentioned video footages for burning with Windows DVD Maker on PC and iDVD on Mac.
