The SD1400IS takes movies in .MOV format. Can you load then to youtube? Will I have to convert movies to load to youtube or to view on my PC?

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."

Should work fine on mac and I believe that you can play .mov files through it. On my pc I have to convert the file from .mov to mp4 or other playable list. Downloaded software and have no issues.

Yes. For a tutorial Google "can nero 2014 burn video_ts files" Select the first youtube choice.

yes, but be aware that they will be in .avi format, so if you are trying to view on a tablet or apple device, you might have to convert to mp4. If you are saving a movie on movie maker, then it'll convert on its own.

I use a SD card with FAT 32 and the video format i use is XVID AVI (MP4) or DIVX seems to work best.

I did not try .iso files, however it has had no problem playing .mov,avi,MP4,mkv or divx files. For the price the unit works really nice.

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

I simply renamed my xvid movie which usually has a .avi file extension to a .mpg file extension. Low and behold, the blu-ray player played it just fine with no conversion necessary. Surprise! (rolls eyes...)

I might be a little slow - What about expandable memory - can I load music movie and content onto the sd card? or are you all saying it can only read and save content pulled over from another device like my laptop.

.mov is a very common format that has been around forever.Download VLC and forget about it.

I use the H264 Bluray format. The quality of the image depends of the parameters that you choose in the H264 code. This format can be easily uploaded to YouTube.

No new info. I purchased the Sony, but I cannot find how to define the file format. however, hi def looks reasonable on 50" plasma. Haven't really played with it much. no video LED lamp, and won't play SD directly in a Panasonic TV. Otherwise, small and light.

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.

Compelled,What is a .m2Ts file? How do I load it to my PC? Do I open ImageMixer first? I am doing something wrong because after hours of working at it I finally got some video transferred to DVD but it will not play in my DVD player. When I use ImageMixer Player it plays back choppy and with horizontal lines running through the whole thing. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

I don't have the mini, but I've read all over that i will play .ISO files just like if it were in a DVD player. I have the regular WDTV and it will play .ISO files, but will only play the main movie (or the longest file, i.e. when I select The Aristocrats .ISO file, it plays the extra un-edited joke video and not the main movie)

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want)

I have a Mac Mini and I'm able to import the videos without problem. Besides, the software will reside in the SD card, not your Mac
