Mpeg2 File Format? I think I saw somewhere that the Canon FS100 will be supporting the Mpeg2 file format; can anybody confirm that?

Well, gee whiz. I know they are mod because I purchased the camera on April 14 and I've been playing with it for a week. I did not know what .mod files were until I tried to access the video I had taken.

Actually, the camera can only record in the crappy .mts file format. You have to convert the file yourself using third-party software (I use Prism) to be able to make some use out of .mts files.

Unfortunately, I don't believe the R200 has that capability. It wasn't introduced by Canon until the HF G10 (at least according to their website *search for simultaneous on the following link http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/about_canon?pageKeyCode=pressreldetail&docId=0901e0248025bf68 * The R200 is very limited in it's use but I've never had an issue with a video file's integrity. It's a good camera depending on what you need to do with it. But then again, I'm no professional. Google is your friend, buddy. Hope you can make it work. (I also checked my manual and it doesn't mention the capability either).

Any non-linear editor that supports .mts files. Even if they don't, there are tools you can find to convert MTS to AVI or whatever.

Exact quote from Youtube: Here's the list of some well-known formats which YouTube supports: WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec) -MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files - (typically supporting h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec) -AVI (Many cameras output this format - typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM) -MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio) -WMV -FLV (Adobe - FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio) Tips and notes: -You should always upload your video in the original format in the highest quality possible. -We prefer de-interlaced files. -If your file is using h264 encoding we prefer files without PAFF/MBAFF encoding. -Audio and video lengths should be the same and audio should start at the same time as the video. "MOV /MP4 /3GPP files are index based. Simply put, this means that there is an index in the file that tells us the specific location of where in the file the video and audio frames are present. Without the index, it is almost impossible to know where the data for a specific video or audio frame is. This index is contained in what is called a 'moov' atom in the file. Now, if the index is at the beginning of the file, it will enable processing of the video as and when successive bytes of the file are uploaded. On the other hand, if the index is at the end, processing the video cannot begin until the entire upload is complete - since the index is needed to interpret the file. Hence, for MOV / MP4 / 3gpp files, we prefer the "moov" atom in the beginning of the file - also known as "fast start" or a "flattened" MP4 / MOV file. There are tools available on the web to flatten your MOV file. Usually the video editing/export software will have options to create your files with the moov atom in the beginning rather than the end of your file. If you are using Apple editing tools, then see this article on how to produce files with moov atom in the beginning of the file."

Vaboo! Good topic.I've got a box of *everything* -- 110, 35mm and 126 negatives. The problem is the software doesn't really allow for this film format . . . I'm going to see if they have a SDK or something to hack that.Any suggestions for the 110s?Also, can someone suggest a good (cheap) negative viewer? That pana-vue #2 looks perfect except it's for slides.Thanks in advance!

I have the XDS and I can tell you that even for the supported file types it only works about 30% of the time and will almost certainly require re-encoding to work. It only supports a very limited range of settings and even people with a decent knowledge of video encoding have trouble getting videos to work.

I have an HP w/Movie maker, but I thought you simply stuck the memory sticks into the laptop to download? I figured it would come with software like all my Canon cameras have and then you could burn to DVD. Did your fs200 not include this? Perhaps I'm not reading the description correctly.If it is truly that complicated (I also don't know what an 'extension' is) I may skip this one. Still, what about the picture quality? Is there a better alternative in the general price range? ($300 or so?).

I have a Canon HF 200, and have been trying to find some way to play my HD files on the BD-60. So far, no luck. I've emailed and called customer service to ask what formats are supported - waste of time. The customer rep said this was only available on the BD-80 (despite what the manual states) Good luck.

J. Brody, the FZ35 does save in JPEG. It can also do RAW (which is an advantage over the Canon), or both at the same time (though the JPEG image quality is reduced if you go that route). But if you just want JPEG, you can have just that, without ever venturing into RAW territory. That reviewer you are talking about must have been using RAW format, which is often later converted to TIFF.

Do you need to use sdcopy to get it onto your computer? If I used the imagemixer software to get it on my computer, how can I convert it to another file type? I have such simple requirements - my in laws want a copy of a video that I took. I don't want to have to install my image mixer software just so that they can watch it. It just doesn't make sense. I need more instruction. Can someone spell it out with little baby steps?

The short answer is no. The longer answer is this frame (quoting from the manual) "only supports JPEG and Motion JPEG files taken from a digital camera". That means most video formats, especially high definition formats, would not play unless converted to Motion JPEG. It displays JPEG photos beautifully but is not the right choice for video.

I'm wondering the same thing... i cannot even upload the file from my camera onto my Mac.. i'm confused because my Sony T90 uploaded video without any problem. Please can someone answer this question

I'd be curious about this as well. I bought a standard definition FS200 which had really grainy, poor video quality. I'm ready to pay extra for the HD version but would like to know how you like the video quality of of the HF200 so far.

WOW! 25 doesn't handle RAW? My HS10, my very first camera I've been using professionally (haha...yes!) does do RAW, and I love it. It is now going on the fritz...so I'm looking to upgrade. Thanks for all the great info. I'm stunned...with all the great new info and I'm really helped here. THANKS! Jinn

The canon web site lists both recording formats as MPEG4-AVC / H.264I think they are the same camera (except for the audio and IR features of the handle and the internal memory). Any other differences?
