I don't know what you mean. Specifically what are you trying to do? I have videos on my computer (Windows 7) and can watch them without a problem but they were orginally downloaded on a Windows XP machine and then transferred when I bought a new computer.

It requires very precise formatting. Mine all came up as "not supported" until I downloaded the file converter free plug in and followed their tutorial http://content.miccastore.com/sites/default/files/Micca%20Standard%20Video%20Recode%20Tutorial.pdfOnce you do that (and it is easy) the video should play on the device

If you have Windows 7, the Windows Media Player should play them. If you have an older version of Windows, you'll probably need to convert them, or you can upload them to YouTube (can leave them set to Private or Unlisted if you don't want the world to see them) and let YouTube convert them for you (though I've found that it doesn't do a perfect job of rendering them for you, they seem to be a little choppier when uploaded straight from AVCHD format vs. rendering them to .wmv first).To convert/render them yourself, a good program is Sony's Vegas Studio HD. About $90, but at that it's a lot cheaper than something like Adobe Premier and it does a good job of handling HD video. If you have Windows 7, the Windows Media Player should play them.

The poster above is incorrect. The USB port can play any video file, provided it is the right audio codec, either AC3 or or MPEG-audio. All you have to do is find a converter. MP42MKVac3 is what I use. This program will convert any video file with AAC audio (which is unplayable on the USB port), to AC3 audio. Use MediaInfo to determine what audio codec the file uses. Good luck!

Hi. There are various MP4 file formats. If our unit does not read or recognize the file you would like to play, we recommend converting or downloading file as a AVI, DVIX or M4V.

You wont see any videos on the sd card. Just double click on the video player to open it and you will see a list of all the videos. Then you can save any directly to your pc.

I couldn't play them on the device either, so I hooked it up to my computer, found the videos folder (for the camera) & double clicked on the video file and it plays.

Good Question, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out. I'm not sure if the file type will be support. I'll test it and send out an update. Bobby

We use AVI format, our MP4 movies would not play. We love ours and use them on long road trips!

Yes it will play videos from USB. Not sure of the formats, but I think it plays the standards.

Use another player that supports Samba,such as NPlayer. You can play almost any format. Just click on network options and choose SMB and connect the app to the media server. User ID is admin and password blank as default. Enjoy

Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.

Hi : I recived no answers to this post from November, however, I did a quick survey of the "Compatible with list". I want to stick with Win XP, so there are not many choices, and the ones I surveyed all looked, well, less easy than my trusty VCR.However, I am ready to look again and share info.Regards

Carolyn, VLC media player will play the files without any problems. I have been using the camera for 1 week and it works fine. Also, Windows live movie maker can splice and edit videos.

I have the same problem and it can be resolved by connecting the camcorder to the computer using usb. It will enable more features including video (AVCHD). It works both on XP and Windows 7 x64.
