What type of video files does this camera produce .. what is the file extension? I think that my computer plays only .AVI video files.

The video file extension is MTS, and my laptop plays them with Windows Media Player.

This camera records in AVCHD Ver2.0/ MP4hopefully your computer can play an MP4. The video and audio for such a small camera is truly amazing!

My geeyacam files are AVI video clip files. They open with MS Media Player. I am not aware of the file type specified in this question.

I don't know what you mean. Specifically what are you trying to do? I have videos on my computer (Windows 7) and can watch them without a problem but they were orginally downloaded on a Windows XP machine and then transferred when I bought a new computer.

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.

I've never tried it, but I'm sur you could using the right software. The file output is .avi. Which is a movie file. Maybe if you could open the file in something like movie maker. I'll try it and let you know how it works.

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?

Good Evening,I checked softpoint.com and it does not mention avi files. I haven't ventured into the avi arena yet so I cannot really answer your question. I am not sure what type of file is used to display the skin or art of the avi.If I find something, I'll post it.Cheers!Danbo

The camera converts the video to an AVI file upon completion of recording. That file is then downloaded. If you have software running on the Mac that can play that file format you should be all set. Also it must have either a USB connection or the ability to read an SD card to download the file. The manual does not mention Macs.

Hi there, Jennifer. Are you using Windows or Mac? Do you have a program that can convert video files into different movie files into .mov .mp4 .flv .avi etc. Basically, you just have to connect this Video Camera Sunglass via USB cable that was provided to you when you bought it. If you have a program that corresponds to the movie file generated by this product - I don't remember whether it was .mov or .avi file then you will be able to see it. If not, then you will have to transfer the file onto your desktop or wherever you choose to as long as you remember where it is and then open a program that can convert this file that corresponds to your media and then you will be able to see it. Let me know if it helps or if there is something that you do not understand with my answer.

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 the encoding of the .avi file, but in general it does play .avi files. Avi files encoded using DivX will definitely work, others are hit or miss.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply. The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

Hi Mike and Oscar, I'm having the same problem in trying to get my .avi file captured from a Flip Video Camera; Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 only has a black screen with sound. I had to send the .avi file to a friend with a Mac, who had a program to convert it to an .mpeg file; then it works. I'm searching for a solution that I can solve on my own with my PC.

Sounds like a problem with the computer, not the camera. Some computers have problems playing full HD video. I would suggest trying to play the videos on different computers, to help determine if the issue lies with your specific computer.

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.

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.
