Quicktime Pro IS available for Windows too (same link as I gave you), and there are many other solutions out their for PC: Go to www.download.com and search "avi rotate" & you'll find several freeware/shareware solutions (none of which I can vouch for personally tho!). The software you find there probably doesn't come with much in the way of support though (since the developers are usually individuals or tiny companies). Quicktime certainly comes with tons of online support from Apple, but actual live phone tech support (as with most companies) is almost never FREE. But if all you want to do is rotate your AVIs and re-save, you shouldn't have any trouble... it either will work, or not work.Good luck! -Ken Quicktime Pro IS available for Windows too (same link as I gave you), and there are many other solutions out their for PC: Go to www.download.com and search "avi rotate" & you'll find several freeware/shareware solutions (none of which I can vouch for personally tho!).

The easiest solution (besides NOT taking vertical videos!) is to upgrade your Quicktime player to Quicktime Pro (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/). I assume that since you want to convert to AVI, you're a Mac user, but this is available for Windows folks as well. There are likely some cheaper shareware solutions out there too, but I've found that the upgrade to Quicktime Pro is well worth the 30 bucks, since it allows you to edit, rotate, and export to a variety of formats and file sizes. Hope this helps!

Thanks, Ken. I'll certainly keep your recommendations in mind and really appreciate your feedback. Ann

Thank you for your response. I don't have a Mac. I wanted to convert to AVI for two reasons: I need to rotate video taken on vacation recently (now I know not to rotate my camera for video) and my new digital frame takes video in AVI only. I'm looking for a conversion program that will give me phone tech support. Apple will not since I don't have a Mac. Anyway, thanks again for your comments ... any other suggestions will be appreciated. Happy New Year, Ann

Ken - update! I took your advice and went to www.download.com, searched "avi rotate" and had success with Prism Video Converter! Thank you so much! And by the way, in the process, found out I can convert the mp4 format in Windows Live Photo Gallery, not to be confused with Windows Photo Gallery, which I had tried before. After the conversion, the instructions said to go to this site to rotate and I accidentally clicked on the mp4 photo ...and there it was ... rotated! But as I said before, I need AVI for uploading to my digital frame so I've had a good day ... thanks to you! You're my hero...take care. Ann Ken - update!

How do I even get the video onto a dvd? When I play it in Quicktime, it plays sound but no movie. When I use Windows Media Player, I get video but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

The file format recommended by Roku is the MP4 or M4V format. The preferred conversion tool recommended by Roku is HANDBRAKE. I personally prefer the XD/S for playing video files, as you don't have to be connected to the internet as you do with the newer Roku2 XS. Connecting a 1TB hard drive with converted movies works very well on the older XD/S model. The newer Roku2 XS still has a problem sorting file names Alpha/Numeric just like your PC. As for support by Roku that has been answered in other posts.

I order for one of my friend..he toldthat this device will not support MP4 file We should not rename the file from MP4 to AVI. We should convert the file from MP4 to AVI..Many converters are available online.

I just read that the .MOD extension of the JVC can be changed to .MPG for recognition by Windows Media Player and should work with other software since it is a standard format. (You can do this by copying the file onto your PC, right clicking and renaming. With this extension you should be able to burn to a DVD. I am interested in purchasing this camcorder but will NOT do so if I have to purchase extra software. If someone tries this, please let me know if you are successful. JVC appears to receive much better reviews than Sony other than the burning issues. The article I read can be found at http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2006-12-06-camcorder-hard-drives_x.htm.

Not sure I understand the question. I have no issues with the video it records. The files are AVI type files and all I do is copy them from the SD card to the computer, and play them using Windows Media Player. Have not had to convert the files to any other type of video file type.

The format the camera uses for video is different than that used on DVDs (ones playable in a DVD player), so conversion is necessary. GREAT Freeware (NOT trial, totaly free forever!) is DVDStyler. Allows creation of DVDs with custom menus from many different video file formats - search "DVDStyler" online.

Thanks B. Wickens!I've continued my research and it turns out the problem is not the brand of the camera but the AVCHD codec itself. Most video editing applications don't support it yet. So indeed you can copy the files to your hard drive in a Mac but you need a program that can read them.Turns out the latest Final Cut Pro does indeed support AVCHD and also the iMovie '08 (not '06).My favorite recoding application is VisualHub but I haven't been able to determine yet if it will read AVCHD and convert it to something else.

I have not been able to view any a AVCHD formatted videos. I have read this is for burning directly to DVD but I have not used this feature. The MP4 works fine for me so that's what I use.

The file format the camera uses is .MOD It is nothing more than a .mpeg file. When you find the camera and it's SD files tagged .MOD in "My Computer", change the file type from .MOD to .mpeg and import it into an editing program that accepts .mpeg files and start editing...OR....you could download and try/use "MPEG Video Wizard DVD". Been using it for quite sometime. Excellent editor and it doesn't care if the camera files are named .MOD....it will import them and output them without recoding so there is no quality loss. Try either method above but do not use the software that came with the camera....it is NFG. The file format the camera uses is .MOD It is nothing more than a .mpeg file.

Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.

The short answer is no. The longer answer is this frame (quoting from the manual) "only supports JPEG and Motion JPEG files taken from a digital camera". That means most video formats, especially high definition formats, would not play unless converted to Motion JPEG. It displays JPEG photos beautifully but is not the right choice for video.

This question was forward by Amazon - apologies the for delay if not already answered - 3D Images with an *.mpo* file extension can be veiwed as well as movies with out glasses - I use the Fuji 3d camera for both movies and stills with success and plug a USB reader into the micro for playback- I can watch movies in 3d via file downloads save to USB reader - streaming con be done - do not save file to tablet - it uses too much space

Most computers have a difficult time processing AVCHD. This mode is meant for direct play back on your HDTV. But you can you can use a video editor like Freemake and it will convert the files for viewing on your computer and other sites like You Tube. I have a Panasonic FZ-150 and I have to record in FSH at 24fps instead of PSH at 50fps otherwise it produces glitches in playback mode.

I can see no mention of recording format in the instruction manual. I have had good luck using the Olympus Tech Support for a different technical question. There are many format translation programs for free online that can translate to .avi, flv, etc.

Or if you have a number of avi files that require conversion to the MP4 format .seek out the free and easy to use Handbrake app

V1 Viewer is really really bad, I've got one, it's useless. V3 Viewer is nice (I've got one too), with better resolution, its quality looks like the 3D screen on the back of the camera Fuji W3. It can play 3D photos AND 3D videos ! Don't buy a V1, you will be disappointed. Sorry, my english is very poor (I'm french)
