This camera can record AVCHD files, intended for disc production, or MP4 files, which are intended for internet videos.

I have Windows 7, and all of the movies and videos I've downloaded to the computer are MP4 format. They play just fine. Hope this helps.

They are mp4 .avi files. You can copy straight from the card to computer and view them

You can choose AVCHD or MP4 format for filming movies. AVCHD is 1080 60i (interlaced), and MP4 is 30p (progressive). In MP4 you can select 1080, 720 or VGA mode.

Hello Lin C. The simple answer is......neither. The camera records in AVCHD. The AVCHD format has been developed for high-definition digital video cameras when recording an HD (High-Definition) signal at the 1080i*1 or 720p*2 specification using high-efficiency compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high definition video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on 8 cm DVD discs, hard disk drive, flash memory, memory card, etc. Recording and playback on the camera Based on the AVCHD format, your camera records with the high definition image quality (HD) mentioned below. Video signal*3: 1080 60i-compatible device MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 19201080/60i, 19201080/60p, 14401080/60i 1080 50i-compatible device MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 19201080/50i, 19201080/50p, 14401080/50i Audio signal: Dolby Digital 2ch Recording media: Memory card *1 1080i specification A high definition specification which utilizes 1,080 effective scanning lines and the interlace system. *2 720p specification A high definition specification which utilizes 720 effective scanning lines and the progressive system. *3 Data recorded in AVCHD format other than the above mentioned cannot be played on your camera. You can play your movies straight from your camera, or whichever device you have downloaded it onto, on most TVs. I have used mine on both US and UK TVs without any problems. If push comes to shove you can always play it through your PC, Laptop or whatever, which in turn is connected to your TV. Go on, buy the camera, you will not regret it and don't forget to buy an IV filter to protect that lens.

The movies need to be in Xvid format. There are many formats that can be stored in a AVI container. Most avi movies available for download are saved as x264, h264, or Xvid. Your other problem could be that the ED8850B doesn't support SDHC cards, only standard SD cards are supported. I use the USB input with a flash drive.

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."

Records .avi files, something a bunch of MAC video players can handle easily. Playback is simple IMO.

I've never tried it, but I'm sur you could using the right software. The file output is .avi. Which is a movie file. Maybe if you could open the file in something like movie maker. I'll try it and let you know how it works.

Proprietary file format for security purpose, but it cat be exported to a standard format (avi) with player.

You can use MPEG Streamclip to edit the mp4 files directly, without re-encoding. It's much more convenient than iMovie.

Thanks for the great information. How do you know which files to convert off your camera (when using without iMovie). The files I see are .MOD, .MOI, and .PGI. Thanks for the help!

I'm using MP4 and not having a problem, but they are large files. Running windows 8.1, 12 GB memory.

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.

the file extension is .mts I use VLC Video player to play the file which has an android app

No limit on the screen capture as I have capture entire films for later conversion to mp4 and .wav format. However, I don't see that codec format H264... I know it has various presets .avi, .mov., .mp4, .wav, and many others...I sometimes export to WAV and import into Premiere for serious video editing.

They record in .MOV format, but you can very easily copy the video's off the glasses and then convert them to almost any format; I use FreeMake Video Converter it's a free download and does an excellent job converting the videos to any format. With no quality loss as long as you make the appropriate selections.
