Can I capture video in MP4. My other blackmagic devise only captures AVI through Media Express. Any software I can get that captures smaller files.

Media Express cannot do MP4 like you said and the Intensity seems to be limited when it comes to things not directly stated in the manual/on the box. It is possible to have software that would read the Intensity and save the output as MP4 but I have not found any already made. You could convert the AVI it gives you into an MP4 with little effort using your favorite media editing software. Also as a side note, This works on any computer, if you don't have the Renasas chipset you simply need to download the correct driver, which is unstable on Windows 8 and requires reinstallation often.

First, you should be very careful that the computer you are attaching this to has a particular motherboard. If not, nothing will work. If so, then maybe the specification they gave you will work. I did not find out until after I purchased. I was solving a problem for a customer that grew into a bigger problem because of this unit. They sent my money back. This product needs to be pulled from amazon completely.

Hi Mohammad, you can record videos in 8cm discs, not mini DVDs. Thanks_Mitch

there is a free small download that will do all your video capture needs. Everyone look up CaptureFlux! Its free and very easy to use! and I have no idea if the button serves a purpose! but this should fix the problem of 0 camera capturing ability!

I had difficulty playing MP4 files on my computer but I was able to convert them (with no loss of information) to MOV files, which play without a problem using SUPER. Only problem is that it took overnight to convert the files! I'm surprised that for a device that is supposed to be easy to use, it was so difficult to see the files.

It has to be a compatible capture device. The key question is what is considered compatible? That I do not know as they refuse to release a compatibility list :( I have ran against the same issue with 1/2 my devices.

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

Thank you very much for the tip. I have a question though. Vimeo allows to e-mail up to 500Mb which is about 1 min of video. Is there a way to e-mail larger files (3 min of video is about 800Mb)? Is there any good way to compress a video and keep a half-decent quality? (I tried Windows movie maker and the result is below poor).Thank you very much

There is desktop software for the Macintosh. You need to remove the SD card from the BlackVue and connect it to your Mac. There is a BlackVue app for the iPhone and iPad that allows you to live view your BlackVue video and recorded files. Right now you can only physically transport your files to your Macintosh.

Compelled,What is a .m2Ts file? How do I load it to my PC? Do I open ImageMixer first? I am doing something wrong because after hours of working at it I finally got some video transferred to DVD but it will not play in my DVD player. When I use ImageMixer Player it plays back choppy and with horizontal lines running through the whole thing. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

None, you need an SD card, and however big your SD card is is the amount of video.

I have not been able to see video in WMM. Only video. I have WMM that came installed in my vista machine purchased in Dec. 08. Can anyone tell me how to make the video show up?

Actually, I hooked up my little AipTek video camera to my eMac last night--it's true that iPhoto doesn't recognize videos recorded on it, but if you open its icon on the desktop and go to the video folder, and double-click on the file icon, Quicktime will play it. Good enough for me.

There are a couple of popular 3rd party software platforms that can be used for recording video. Blue Iris and Ispy come to mind. Disk utilization varies depending on the frames per second you require. 7 meg per minute would probably be the max.

Thanks for the great information. How do you know which files to convert off your camera (when using without iMovie). The files I see are .MOD, .MOI, and .PGI. Thanks for the help!

B. Pinker's info worked for me to view video (after some trial and error with numbers in device names) but I was unable to record successfully from VLC. I tried Convert option under Capture Device and also the toolbar record button. My computer may be too slow. I had success with ffmpeg on command line:ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i hw:2:0 -target ntsc-dvd ouptutfile.mpg
