you can play recorded video files in your laptop, go to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ , your IP will display, then click Check your port. If your setup is corrected, Success: I can see your service on 108.XX.XX.XX on port (80) Your ISP is not blocking port 80

Looks like it uses h.264 which is a quicktime format. Do you have quicktime installed? I'm a mac user and never use AVI's so I hope I'm correct in this assumption.

I play music and videos fine from the internal memory. Mp3 for songs and mpeg2 works for videos hope this helps!

I suppose you can. It delivers AVCHD 1920x1080 files, so any modern software should be able to handle it. I know when I preview video, the windows player opens and plays it easily.

You could try finding a codec for media player if you search around for one. The preferred (and easy) way is to use the AVI conversion tool in gsurf. Go to the "Manage tool" menu and select the AVI conversion tool from the list. On the AVI tool window, click the "Add" button and browse for the location where the h264 file(s) were saved at. Select the file(s) in the browser window and click the "Open" button to add the files to the list (to be converted to avi). At the bottom of the AVI tool window, select a location to save the converted file(s). Now click the "Start" button on AVI tool window and the process of converting the file(s) will begin. After it is finished, go to the location where you saved the converted file(s) and click on a converted file. Media player will now play the file. My advice towards gsurf in general is to keep trying with it. Its fairly powerful and it took some time for me to understand how to get the most from it. I still learn new things about it from time to time as well. If you need help with it, let me know and I can help out.

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

My unit just arrived a couple days ago and I am unable to play video using Windows Media Center as well. I tried downloading the "latest" video drivers from Asus, which were months old - even more outdated than what was already installed! "Updating" (downdating?) the video drivers did nothing to improve the problem. The video files play perfectly on the PC using Windows Media Player; but not Windows Media Center. I get audio and a motionless garbled or black picture only.

The recorded files are stored securely. To view them, go to "Video Player", press "OK", the unit should show "No files!". Hold down on the two "VOL" buttons (VOL-/&lt;&lt;I and VOL+&gt;&gt;I) for more than 3 seconds, the unit will read recorded videos and a list of videos will show up. Use the two VOL buttons to select the one you want to play. Please let us know if this helps. Thank you.

iSkysoft also has a file converter than will convert these avi to .mov. With the latest QT update, I guess they view avi as an antiquated format so don't support it. A workaround is loading QT 7 which will still play the files but make sure you also have flip mac and get a Divx codec while your'e at it. The setout tool is only available for PC which makes no sense to me whatsoever but all in all a great little camera once you get past all the pain in the butt conversion issue.s

I couldn't play them on the device either, so I hooked it up to my computer, found the videos folder (for the camera) & double clicked on the video file and it plays.

I am pretty sure that the WD player I have plays Avi files. WMV files didn't play though. Do a search for a program that converts mp4, mpeg, wmv, etc to avi or a file that you know the WD plays. The conversion programs are generally free. Good luck.

I've enjoyed this player since my purchase. On video, a cautionary tale though. I believe you need to encoded in 320x240 for it to work at all on the player, otherwise it will say "file format unrecognized" or something similar. I used Jodix's free iPod video converter, and set it to that resolution and the videos like xvid convert into fully playable files.

I really don't know. Make sure your using the vga cable and hdmi. Play with the laptop screen resolution. Sorry I can't help more.

You MUST have an SD memory card installed, not bigger than 32 Geg. Press "Menu", then either "Vol" button until you see "Video Player", press and hold Both Vol up and Vol Down, 3 seconds. Should get a second menu, scroll to "DV" press "OK". you will see what the camera is looking at for 10 sec., then it goes into record (blue dot in upper right corner). Hope that helps. Jack
