To keep up with the increasing prevalence of low cost, high definition camcorders, developers are continually creating easy-to-use software tools to streamline the transcoding process. AMD's own Avivo Video Converter or Cyberlink's Media Espresso make converting videos a snap.

Video editing tools, such as Adobe's Premiere Elements, help budding videographers design and edit professional-looking videos. AMD Radeon GPUs accelerate transitions and some filters, enabling speedier editing and quicker previews.

With video hardware cheaper than ever, and AMD Radeon GPU technology and software enabling fast conversion of video formats, you can easily preserve your video memories on YouTube, on your mobile device, or even on old fashioned, disc-based media. So what are you waiting for? There are loads of dancing babies, singing cats, and flailing skateboarders out there just begging to be immortalized.
