What file format are the videos in? Can they be viewed anywhere else besides this unit?

.TS or MPEG 2 file. The files are very large and I found it makes little sense trying convert them to another format to watch on another video player.

If you record off a HD over the air feed, it will record in a .ts format. There are various videos players (check the web) that you can download to view this format. Otherwise, you need a video editing software to convert the .ts file to something more mainstream such as .mp4 or mpeg-2. I found a way to record off my Dish as well but even though it's a HD Dish channel, it records in analog and the format is mpeg-2.

Records as .ts (transport stream) You can watch these on a computer with numerous players available. More interestingly, though, is that what's actually in the stream is mpeg 2. If the recording is SD, I find that the mpeg inside is already DVD-compliant, meaning the DVD authoring software on my computer can make it into a dvd with no re-encoding, no loss in quality. It comes out to about 1 hour of video per GB of file size, so I can put a double or sometimes triple feature of old movies on one DVD, for example, and it looks exactly like the digital broadcast. But this is only for stuff I want to save; for simply viewing someplace else I recommend a computer based software player.

There is no software needed to view it. I've had two of these for about one month. I've looked at the video twice. I believe I have a 32G chip and only store about 4 hours of video, but really good quality video. I recall seeing the coordinates and believe (but not sure without looking, sorry) the coordinates are across the bottom of the screen. These are the best available. I first bought the junky ones that are sold fairly commonplace online and junked them.

This worked for me. Can you tell me what file types I should load if I want to play my own videos? Thanks!

Yes - the video is standard MP4 format which can be viewed by Quicktime or other apps like VLC.

If you have a cell phone/tablet that has a micro sd card slot you can plug in, with a video player app, Then you can view them. Otherwise you can't.

Yes, there is a USB port attached to the unit for you to connect a USB hard drive to. Obviously, the videos need to be in the supported format.

They should be here, but I don't see this specific model. Maybe you can contact JVC support to ask them. This camcorder saves files into a format that was foreign to me. But, after I downloaded them to my PC, I changed the dot + 3 letters (format) to something different, and then I was able to manipulate them with my own software -- I think I changed them to .mov. I did not like the software that comes with this camcorder at all. When the new year started, I couldn't find a way to display files from the previous year -- very strange and scary! Good thing I back up all of my files. Good luck, but BTW, there are many more and better camcorders out there, even my iPad videos shoot at higher resolution and look better.

Sorry, I don't know if the videos are Mac compatible, they are AVI's that are stored on a micro-SD card.

I´m storing the videos in a local FTP server (Filezilla). With yoics firmware ver 3.47, I can see each camera on my phone and store the videos configuring the ftp access under the motion detection tab.

The video file is in .mov (QuickTime) format. Please turn on the camera before connecting the usb cable. Then the camera is mounted as a removable disk. Here is a beta version of the player software: https://www.ojocam.com/content/ojocam_player_0318_beta.zip Thank you.

If you can get the thing to work, then yes, the videos and stills should be in a standard format. However, as noted in my review I found the thing to be a non-working, poorly made, piece of junk; not worth the clam shell package it came in.

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.

Hi Philip, the videos are created in market standard mpeg4 format, as you supposed.

Mine has a video out, but I haven't used it, so I can't confirm the quality (I usually take the micro-sd out to transfer files if there's any I want to save or review). Per my experience with the rest of the unit, there's no reason to expect it wouldn't work fine, though.

I'm not into video functions, but when I did a search for the app, it was not found. Hope this helps
