I backed up some security footage to my USB drive but I can't seem to figure out how to replay the file back on my computer. What codec do I need for playback?

Use the software on the disc that came with the unit. There is a playback application on the installation disk along with other applications.

It depends on how long you wish to save the footage. Generally the hard drive is adequate since once there is not an incident there is no need to save the footage and it can be written over. You can download footage of interest to the through the USB onto a flash drive, etc. The drive space can also be extended using the motion sensor feature in that only if there is motion the footage is recorded. I don't use this feature and the drive can store almost 30 days of footage. The only limitation is when it begins to record over old footage it erases the entire drive and begins again so old footage is lost.

I haven't been using the still feature mode. I just record video AVI's. There is no USB connector on the TLC200. The files are stored on an SD card and you use a card reader to read the files on your computer. If being able to read the files on a SD reader counts.... then yes????

As previously answered you can use a usb thumb drive to recod to. The unitg does no have any internal memory for recording. I use a 1T external hard drive. I find the the quality of rcording to be indistinguishable from the original.

same problam. no solution. even no replay from sandiskLook like that is a fatal bug in Sansa. If file transfer disturb in the middle (USB cable disconnect, etc..) that create corrupted files in the memory and player could not recognize those files. (very common thing with any USB device). But this player instead of skipping the file, keep on loop over same function.This product must recall.

On the back of the recorder is a slide button. When you slide that down, a USB connection emerges from the bottom of the recorder. Just plug that into the USB port of a computer, and the recorder will show up in your computer files as if it were a thumb drive. You can then access the files (they are listed by date if you have set the date/time on the recorder), and you can rename them, and drop and drag them (or just save them) to folders on the computer. It's really a neat feature of this recorder, and one of the reasons I bought it. It's worked great for me.David

no software needed, just play the tape, press record and music will go on the usb memory stick

Click the home button on your remote control. There should be a widget called smartshare, all of the movies that are available from the USB will be located here. I believe the supported formats are listed in the user manual. Note: If you try to access the movie by selecting input-USB, some movies will not be able to access the proper codec (will not stream the video, but you may hear sound)

I am not a tech guy, but I have been unable to play 4k content using USB. Toshiba said that the USB drive can only recognize flash (Fat32) and that only holds up to 4 gigs. A 30 second clip is about 4 gigs. I believe you can loop it though.

I think the.usb is only for backing up or downloading videos. It requires an internal hard drive

You're original footage is perfectly safe and is only copied. The Recorder might be able to pause/play the source, but there is no way it can erase anything from the source.

It has loop recording, once it uses up all available space it will start to overwrite the old recording starting with the oldest file. You can save the video file by pressing the hazard button, but you have to do it right away. it will save the file into a different folder that can't be deleted or overwritten from the camera, but can be done from a pc. its in MOV format so i don't see a problem for not viewing it on a mac, but i don't have a mac to confirm it. yes, you can playback video on the camera screen. but its a little more complicated. it also records audio by default but you can change the setting to have it not record audio.

I tried couple of times,it acts like is recording like the countdown and REC mode on display , but when you want to replay what you recorded said " error format " or something like that.

Yes pretty much anything USB or SD will work. However I tried hooking up my external hard drive and it took so long to load I gave up. Although my HD is like 400gb so that's most likely why. But I've never had issues putting like 20 movies on a flash drive and playing them. Watch out for the file type tho, MKV files won't work

I purchased one and installed on my DVR box (SA Explore 8300HDC). The DVR recognized the drive and prompted for formatting the drive. Another reboot of the DVR and every thing works. I did not lose my previously recorded video. Thanks,--CY

Darrell. That I know of, it doesn't function as a recorder. Play back only. Great multiregion playback of dvds and blus.

You most likely need to transcode it using a machine on which the Geovision codecs are installed. You can do this with software such as VirtualDub. Alternatively, you can use the backup feature of the log viewer to transfer the desired video and the viewer itself to an external hard drive or DVD. You can then play the video through the viewer without the need to install additional software.
