I have a question about this also...Is this a one-time use camcorder or can it be re-used?I am thinking the latter, just by virrtue of the selling price...Many thanks in advance!

Any chance you are using Roxio and Windows Vista? That is combo that we have as we're considering this camcorder.

The camera package provides a cord that will allow you to hook it up to your tv. Look at this I Pod cord here : Brand New Video/Photo AV (Audio/Video) Cable For Apple iPodthis allows you to hook up a video Ipod to your TV. A cord just like that is included to allow you to hook up the camera to a tv.

Yes you can. Format, depends on what you use and save after you edit. I use Roxio and save as WMV. I also burn to DVD and play on a 50" plasma. Video is better than our old VHS-C and close to MiniDV.

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

Can you transfer the video from the computer to a TV and, if so, how? V. Moore

Oh, it can be re-used as many times as needed. I originally made this post before I received mine. It can record up to 60 minutes. If you need more than 60 minutes, simply plug it into your usb port and store the video file on your computer and then delete it off of the camera. Video files are in AVI format

Good Morning Thomas! I was so happy to read your post on Amazon. I just purchased a 1 Gig XD Fujifilm card. I have precious Christmas video on the card and can't get it off. Now, I understand that I'm not alone. Did you ever find a way to transfer your video to your pc - or burn it to a disk? I'm leary of "erasing" the video until I'm sure that I can't retrieve it. Thanks so much and Happy New Year!Lauri

I see your question was answered. I just wanted to add that I do believe the max size is 32 gb and the recommended speed is class 4. So that's what I got and it works great. I think that loops for 8 hours or so, which is plenty of time to download the video if needed to keep them.

We haven't recorded past 5 min at one time..but throught out the day couple min at a time..it adds up to anywhere from15-20 min..so what they mean is that you cant record more then 10 min straight I guess..anyway hope this helps..super clear pics and vids

Hello Cole,How much video you can store on your DVR's hard drive depends on several factors. Please follow this link to determine how many days of footage you can get based on your resolution settings: http://qsee.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14/kw/how%20long%20will%20my%20dvr%20record%3F

Yes there is a 30 minute limit on video length and then yes, you have to press record again to do up to 30 minutes more. By then you'll need to swap batteries. Batteries last a maximum of a bit over an hour at 1080p. Aftermarket batteries often last more like 45 minutes. The 30 minute limit exists no matter what quality of video you choose to record in, even the lowest which is 480p. The limit is there because this camera only accepts SD cards that are formatted FAT32, and FAT32 has a max file size limit of 4GB, in which it can get close at the 1080p setting. I think they were lazy to keep the limit on lower qualities and to not support NTFS for that matter.

Exact quote from Youtube: Here's the list of some well-known formats which YouTube supports: WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec) -MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files - (typically supporting h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec) -AVI (Many cameras output this format - typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM) -MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio) -WMV -FLV (Adobe - FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio) Tips and notes: -You should always upload your video in the original format in the highest quality possible. -We prefer de-interlaced files. -If your file is using h264 encoding we prefer files without PAFF/MBAFF encoding. -Audio and video lengths should be the same and audio should start at the same time as the video. "MOV /MP4 /3GPP files are index based. Simply put, this means that there is an index in the file that tells us the specific location of where in the file the video and audio frames are present. Without the index, it is almost impossible to know where the data for a specific video or audio frame is. This index is contained in what is called a 'moov' atom in the file. Now, if the index is at the beginning of the file, it will enable processing of the video as and when successive bytes of the file are uploaded. On the other hand, if the index is at the end, processing the video cannot begin until the entire upload is complete - since the index is needed to interpret the file. Hence, for MOV / MP4 / 3gpp files, we prefer the "moov" atom in the beginning of the file - also known as "fast start" or a "flattened" MP4 / MOV file. There are tools available on the web to flatten your MOV file. Usually the video editing/export software will have options to create your files with the moov atom in the beginning rather than the end of your file. If you are using Apple editing tools, then see this article on how to produce files with moov atom in the beginning of the file."

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.

Does the recorded video transfer onto the computer in one file? I have a spy camera that breaks the video into 7 minute files. I need something (does not need to be a spy camera) that has a time stamp and keeps the recording in one continuous file. Will this camera do this? If it doesn't any suggestions on another camera to consider?

Just taking a stab here and guessing he meant an uploader to sites like YouTube. I don't have one but it can't be that difficult to upload from a pc if it doesn't have one.

This camera makes mp4 videos. A format that will cause you no problems with any system. The files are on the SD card in the DCIM folder under 100Media. And you just drag them to your desired folder on your computer. Super simple. Newer camcorders record in "avchd", which is fine if you run windows, but Macs still make you jump through hoops in order to import the footage. The Files are in the Folder Private. Then the Folder AVCHD. Then the folder BDMV. The the folder Stream. If you are running windows you can just drag the footage from the Stream folder to your desired folder. But if you are using a MAC you need to drag the entire BDMV folder over. But the Toshiba Camileo X200 records mp4's. This camera makes mp4 videos.

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. It depends on how long you wish to save the footage.

The time limit depends on the size of your SD card. I download the video to my computer via iTunes on a Mac, but I am sure PC will also download the video to your pictures. This is a great camera! I am loving the speed of taking pictures w/o lag between shots. Get a fast digital card from Amazon if you buy this. I bought the 95MB/s SD Sandisk Extreme Pro.

Everyone it tells me that its full i always refirmat card. takes less than 20 second to format and I'm making sure its recorded properly. If i wad u i would firmat it once a week if u get alot of recording. Tried it b4 and it didn't record over anyway. Told me it e was full and i reformatted its simple and if u really need the video then just grab the card and recorded into ur pc, just put the card into the pc, make a folder and copy over. Great camera though. Hoe that helps
