How old is your PC? AVCHD files take a lot of CPU power to decompress and your machine may not be able to handle it.

If you have Windows 7, the Windows Media Player should play them. If you have an older version of Windows, you'll probably need to convert them, or you can upload them to YouTube (can leave them set to Private or Unlisted if you don't want the world to see them) and let YouTube convert them for you (though I've found that it doesn't do a perfect job of rendering them for you, they seem to be a little choppier when uploaded straight from AVCHD format vs. rendering them to .wmv first). To convert/render them yourself, a good program is Sony's Vegas Studio HD. About $90, but at that it's a lot cheaper than something like Adobe Premier and it does a good job of handling HD video.

I have no problems playing the video on Windows 7. The included viewer software is ok, but it's not great. I downloaded a free viewer called Registrator (http://www.registratorviewer.com/download_en.html) that is 1000 times better. It allows you to view the GPS track on a map beside the video along with G-sensor data etc. I highly recommend it. The cam does have a very small amount of internal storage, but not very much (I don't remember the amount). It's not enough to record more than a few minutes of video probably. You'll need a SD card for any decent recording times. I've been using mine for about 7 months now and I love it. I have no problems playing the video on Windows 7.

Hello D,I just changed also one MOD file (made with JVC Everio) into MPG, but I get an error message in Windows Media Player ('Error downloading codec'). It shows correctly (so picutre oke), but no sound...I tried to load the renamed mod file into Ulead VideoStudio 8, but here I get a message 'File format mismatch' and nothing is loaded.Any hints?All the best,Victor

Marsha:I am working with Windows 7, 64 bits and works fine; however, I am a photography fan, and I got a strong frustration with the quality of the converted files. It is something like 5 Mega pixels.For that reason, I bought a 20MP converter. I will receive it next week. If you have any question, please do not hesitate in contacting me, I'll be glad to share my experiences.Best regards, Ricardo

My workflow is as follows:1.Dump files to computer2.Use SDCopy to very quickly make the mod files Mpg's , and flag them as 16:93.Open Premiere Elements 7, and edit as needed.4.Allow PE7 to burn a dvd.5.Good results

I am having issues also. WMP doesn't recognize the files, KMPlayer plays audio and video but they are out of sync (video is too slow), Quicktime plays audio and video but the video is "jerky" and not as smooth as it should be, VLC was only playing the audio. I'm running out of things to try. -_-

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.

If you are looking at the video on the unit that's not unusual because of limited (aka "slow.) playback memory. What the skipping usually is, is that the playback stops to take time to load more video, play, stop to load more video. That's usually the source of the problem and is not actually on the video that way but rather just how the playback works. Have you downloaded the video to your computer and assuming that your is relatively new and fast, you may (should) find that the video runs normally.

I don't know what you mean. Specifically what are you trying to do? I have videos on my computer (Windows 7) and can watch them without a problem but they were orginally downloaded on a Windows XP machine and then transferred when I bought a new computer.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply. The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

7.0 is Exynos.Exynos are very good at decoding, so you don't need to change file in to like .mp4

yes, i had this problem. i noticed that the playback looked fine on the camera, but when i transferred to my computer, it was jerky. turns out the problem was the kind of application I was using to view it. I found the free GOM player, and this solved the problem nicely.

I use Windows Movie Maker exclusively with my camera, and have had NO issues whatsoever with importing the files, or editing of the files using this software. It may not show up in the folder as a "media" file, but if you check all files, then you are able to import the raw video and edit away. Took me maybe 15 minutes to edit my first video with this camera and software.

Hi! I tried an a couple of .avi files, and had the same issue with only getting the sound portion on one, and nothing on the other (they had been written by different programs.) Then I tried using the DivX converter on one and it ran fine (though to be honest, the picture was pretty bad!) I haven't bought the converter software, just a 15 day free trial of it, and plan to try the Xvid freeware first. Does anyone know where to get free divX downloads?

To tell you the truth i don't know sorry i never had that problem you can try completely erasing everything from it and re-importing it hope it helps

Try using Real Player, that is the only program that I have used that will play the Olympus .mov files with out a problem.
