Can I load the AVI files for video?

Per the FAQ area of the website, it only appears to support AVIs with DivX compression - so be careful there! They do have a link to a free video converter if needed.

If you are wanting to use this product for video I would highly recommend you rethink that. For stills it is fine, but I literally went through 8 different formats from mpeg4 to avi to avi with their codec and still no luck (and I am not new to formatting video). Garbage.

As far as I could tell, the only files it would accept were jpgs. I accidentally loaded some tif and png files and they displayed as a blank box with a red X inside it (on the screen) So, I am not positive, but I really doubt it.

If you can download it to your computer you should be able to. My concern would be how big the movie file is.

YES! You must buy a micro SD memory card/stick to use in the camera. Preferably a "class 10" type I used a Sandisk 32 GB) which is fast which video cameras need. You can remove the memory stick from the camera and if you have a memory stick reader dock on your computer or an add on one attached via USB port (you can buy them on amazon too), you can off load them that way and access it on your computer through Windows by bringing up "my computer" and then scroll down and find the memory stick listed that's plugged into your computer. Open up the files and choose the menu where the pictures are stored and open it to see you videos. They're in MP4 format and if you have Windows Media player or another video player that plays MP4 that will play the video as soon as you double click to open the file. The files are all in 10 minute segments only and they overlap.

OldAmazonian doesn't know what s/he's talking about. Yes yes and yes. It's seen as a mass storage device, just open the folder and drag the .avi files to your hard drive. Same on Win and Mac, the included software for those OSes is just bloatware in my opinion, don't need to install it.

Yes you can. This camera records in two formats. .MOV is easier to import but not 100% full-HD. The other format, you have to download a specific player. Do a little research on google and you will get a lot of good tips online. Thanks.

Avi yes, mkv and mp4 no, however the movie clips must be small to view ok, otherwise is working with stopage.

No, DVDs have to be structured according to spec and contain only MP2 video with AC23, DTS, or MPEG audio. However, you can play your AVI files via the USB port, using a thumb drive. By the way, my Phillips DVD player failed the other day and I'm no longer recommending this brand.

No I didn't. There are many format options for .avi and .mp4 videos. I used a video converter to try to find what was compatible; now I can't remember, as I lost interest soon after. I only display photo images now, and for that it's fine.You can have multiple 'albums' by placing each on a separate flash card. Using a typical USB multi-format reader with a card in each of 4 or more slots, plus the DP's own slots, you can select collections from quite a few sources.

You can download the video after you convert the mpeg files into another format. I don't believe it automatically saves it as AVI. I've tried making a CD with it before, but the quality of the video is a little grainy on a regular sized tv set. They might have improved this with the new HD flip video. I cannot say. My flip video just broke after 3 years so I'm thinking of upgrading and getting the new one. Overall, this camera is pretty good and last long if your sole purpose is conveniance and quick videos. If you are looking to do anything fancy, then maybe not.

Plug the video mini card using usb adapter into your PC. Click on MY Computer and open the removable device. There should be three folders, Pictures, Video, and the logo. Double click the video file and you should see the video that was recorder. Click on the video file and it should open as an AVI video using windows media.

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

Not that I know of. If you're looking for programs to convert videos, try either VLC or iWsoft Free Video Converter (if you haven't already). Of the two, I prefer VLC, but since they're both free, they're worth trying out. A tutorial for how to do this on VLC can be found here: http://www.ehow.com/how_5934797_convert-flv-wmv-using-vlc.html (obviously, the source file can be any file supported by vlc, it doesn't have to be flv).

I don't believe that you can...NO.However, saying that; the video recording always produces a jpeg from the first frame or so of the video, that appears when you download the video to your computer.

And the answer is: yeah, sorta, kinda, maybe. Being curious, I tried to do it. First you have to save the video into a format VideoStudio 11.5+ can recognize. I initially tried saving as .avi through Zamzar but VS 11.5+ couldn't read it. Adobe Premiere Elements could read it. I then tried saving in .mov format and VS 11.5+ could open and read it but when I tried to burn a regular DVD, it produced a glitchy video. The opening and closing sections were good. It probably would work, just have to experiment a little.

Yes you can, it came preinstalled with xbmc which can play .mkv files natively. Or if you choose you can download an app like MX player from the okay store which can play .mkv files

If I remember correctly, it comes with a CD to install a video converter. I think this turns them into .avi files, but my memory is a bit fuzzy, so I can't guarantee it.
