i am no computer, or camera "wiz" -- to tell you the truth, i am uncertain what format the camera uses, but, when i downloaded the few video's i took, my computer "processed" them to video player.

If you need to change it to a different format, try Super video converter, also free.

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.

MP4 video format, I had to use handbrake. I ended up returning this product, I was not happy with the app that runs it. I upgrade to the Areo Patriot, much better product.

My above answer said "wav" format but I can't remember for sure. I have played 720p MP4 format both on USB and on a DVD-R.

It plays flv files.. I have a few videos I got from YouTube that saved as flv files and they work. If by the off chance they don't work there is a free program called handbrake that will convert them to almost any file format you want.

None, you need an SD card, and however big your SD card is is the amount of video.

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

Yes!! Very well actually. I've never had a problem with any video format. I've used mp4, m4v, avi, iso and a few others. I'm literally in love with this thing haha

.TS or MPEG 2 file. The files are very large and I found it makes little sense trying convert them to another format to watch on another video player.

You can store those videos into camera memory. It is a flash drive. (No playback feature).

Yes, you can search and save specific sections of recorded video with this unit. You can save it to your hard drive or a flash drive.

I called Canon and they confirmed it's mpeg2 format. In my video editing software (Vegas Movie Studio 8) mpeg2 is ALWAYS re-encoded every time there is a rendering, and hence a small quality loss. AVI is not re-encoded in VMS8, so this may be a problem for me if I decide to buy the FS100.

It looks like the only recording file types are AVCHD and MP4. You would have to convert one of these file types to .mov

It was NTSC formatted. If you want to use it with both Windows and Mac then format it with ExFAT file system.

the video is .MP4 so I am guessing that the audio would either be MP3 or AAC. I don't know how to check. I have never had trouble playing .MP4 with anything, it is the most commonly used format.
