Does the video loop? Can I immediately stop and save the file? Can I view the file on a mac? Does it play back on camera? Record Audio?

It has loop recording, once it uses up all available space it will start to overwrite the old recording starting with the oldest file. You can save the video file by pressing the hazard button, but you have to do it right away. it will save the file into a different folder that can't be deleted or overwritten from the camera, but can be done from a pc. its in MOV format so i don't see a problem for not viewing it on a mac, but i don't have a mac to confirm it. yes, you can playback video on the camera screen. but its a little more complicated. it also records audio by default but you can change the setting to have it not record audio.

The recorded files are stored securely. To view them, go to "Video Player", press "OK", the unit should show "No files!". Hold down on the two "VOL" buttons (VOL-/&lt;&lt;I and VOL+&gt;&gt;I) for more than 3 seconds, the unit will read recorded videos and a list of videos will show up. Use the two VOL buttons to select the one you want to play. Please let us know if this helps. Thank you.

Yes, but it takes some effort. I am still investigating other approaches. Using QuicktimePro ($30) with additional "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback" ($20) and "MPEG Streamclip" (free but requires the Quicktime MPEG2 extension to read MPEG2 files), I can use iMovie/iDVD. Last night I copied 5.6 GB of video ( ~90 minutes of best quality recording on the camera) in 139 files to the Mac (~8 minutes to copy), then used MPEG_Streamclip in batch mode to export them all to .DV format. This just takes a 5-10 minutes to initiate but the actual conversion took a little under 3 hours on 1.5 Ghz G4 Powerbook. I used the "No Interlace" and "split for iMovie" settings. This resulted in 139 .DV files using ~17 GB. I created a iMovie project then quit iMovie. I then dragged all the DV files into the Media directory within the project. I then start iMovie and it tells me it found 139 files and asks me if I want to move them to the Clips. I say Yes and from then on it's the no different than if I had imported the video using more conventional means. I am still using iMovie5 so the procedure may be different with later versions. iMovie08 has direct support for this camera, though I haven't tried it and there are some complaints about iMovie08. It's reportedly easier to use but with less capabilities than iMovie06. It also won't run on G4 processors. Is it worth the hassle? It's a little early to tell, but this camera is replacing a Digital8 for which media is harder to find, and I liked the capability to record more than 60 minutes. PS - Using just QT Pro and the MPEG2 extension, it is possible to play the video files directly on the Mac. The conversion to DV format is necessary only if you want to edit them using iMovie. You can play them directly off the camera if the camera is mounted as an external HD.

The red button starts and stops recording. Each clip is saved as a separate file. There is no pause. It's very easy to stitch them together in a video editing program on your computer.

Files are saved with an AVI extension. Can a Mac play AVI files? Can a Mac play AVI files with the right software?

Subject: Re: Y. Callewaert commented on your answer to the question "Being a Mac user, will this camera work with my Mac and iMovie program?"if you want a sample from the camera, you can go to facebook's Hot SpringsJazz Society and look at the u-tube videos of our Vocal-Rama event .... all6 or so of the u=tubes were taken by the camera and attached mic. Theacoustics in the Garvan Gardens Chapel aren't the best, but I thought thesounds came through reasonably well....Dave

The audio is only active when the individual camera is on not the quad mode. Yes each camera will save in separate files. When you view the video files it will be listed by day, hour, and in the hour folder each active camera will have it's own file with the time and length of the recording. I have had my system active for almost 1 year. I set my cameras up the first week of July 2014. I would give this a 4 out of 5 star rating. Well worth it for the price. I trust that helps you. Good luck.

This camera uses a micro sd card and records standard video files which can be played on MAC or PC, with any media player. Beware of China sellers that sell cheaper knockoff versions of this model and if anything goes wrong with the camera it will cost you $60+ to ship it back to them with tracking, and they may not even be around then or provide warranty support!

Don't know what problem you're having. I tested this for about an hour of continuous recording. I plugged the device into a PC and it played ten minutes (9:59 to be exact) of video. What you need to do is to go into the removable drive )my computer/ removable drive (E) or what ever letter it may show) and open the folder. You will see a number of ten minute clips (depending on how long you recorded for). Also, you may need to see what types of files your media player is set to play. It may not have TIF chosen.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

I'm not sure about a video because I have never tried it, but I have 300+ photo inspirational quotes loaded and they do loop over and over during the course of the day, plus I also loaded some MP3 music files that also play and loop. I would think that a video files would also loop.

need a little more info. What did you use for a player? What were the Samsung settings you used to make the video? how big is the file? ..... Try VLC, A very good (and free) player that runs on PCs. .....Oh, one more question, what type of computer are you using, PC,Mac, Android chromebook....?

I had no problem with transferring video. Sound came through fine.I went back and looked as I have only one video on my phone. I could not find the file on my laptop but it is in my Dropbox and it has sound. Tried to transfer again with cable and you are right, it had no sound. I cannot remember how I got it into my Dropbox.

David; I really don't know about the Mac, but I can tell you that I love that camera. It is always on whenever I drive, it is mounted behind my rearview mirror, so I don't even know it's there, and once you learn how the software works it's pretty simple to save any important scenes on an SD card. My only criticism would be of the users manual. It is not especially well done. But it can be figured out.

Well I think it's ok but it freezes. My other cam froze too . I think it's the Mac mini not the cam; I have a mini , so I think the cam is ok. I read a bit and people say it's the card in the mini that causes it. I don't know, but u Cannot change the card in the mini. If u know a cam that works better, let me know, thx
