This unit has a Ram to processing quotiant ratio that is barely on level with the Atari 2600 (Yes; of aprox. 30 years ago) It can copy Jpg.s but quicktime is a whole other issue. This device is primarily a music player and it does well at that. It also records sound however that has proven to be a bit un-predictable. The general rule of thumb with more 'economic priced' gadgets it that anything that plays video of any quality is going to cost around $50 at min. And NO it does not have to be from Apple or Andriod.Jim

I wish I had an answer for u, I haven't used mine for a few years now , I bought a smart phone and put all my music on that , I never added videos. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful maybe contact the manufacturer , I hope u find an answer I'm sure it's frustrating. Good luck

make sure it is connected to a video source, yellow plug. other than that i dont know. maybe defective? i would try a few different things before sending it back. turn it off then on, letting it warm up, etc

You need to install a DVD player for video.You might get it from the DVD driver maker.Try downloading realplayer reaplayer.com

I want to watch videos on mine, too, so I had the same question. I found a discussion on http: / / tinyurl . com / 6zzv6y (sorry for the weird link, when I tried it before, Amazon wouldn't let me post it.) Apparently, out-of-the-box, videos stutter a little but with some tweaking, it can be smoothed out but maybe not perfectly.

You should first try the HDMI button first. If not then try the VIDEO button that should work.

I think I had a hard time as well. I tried to view the video from the camera and it didn't work, so I fooled around with it to transfer the video onto my computer and it did work. It took a long time. I couldn't tell you how, I just saved under a bunch files and found one that worked. Hope this helps.

Use one of the audio inputs. Try it on each one until you get the audio on the right video feed. You may have to use the menu to turn on the audio recording.

I have the flicker with mine with YouTube and other video sources as well. Not sure what the problem is yet but I'm looking into it.

Actually hold off, there may be a problem with video video output with the adopter. I'll look into it tonight at work and get back to you later tonight.

Try mp4 movies, also AVI. I've got a few of each type downloaded to my skytex alpha and they both work great. Good luck.

Try using a power supply of 2000mA+. And it may be your video/power cable. Use the largest cable you can find. You may have too much resistance for the length traveled. It fixed my issue. I too thought it was the camera going bad. Its just a power hog!

If the unit you got is good and it was installed correctly, then try burning dvds using the mp4 format and cds as regular audio or data cds. This works for me. If these do not work have the unit checked out

Try using some other video editing program other than the Movie Maker. If you can't find any other program, try changing the mp4 file format to avi format and see if that works.
