mini sports camera question.

I need the help of a computer wizard!

I’ve brought a small “Sports” video cam. You know the type I mean, eBay has gallons of them for sale. Hers’ a picie of it. (sitting on the tail of a brightly coloured foamy so you can see it better.)
.........

The seller only speaks classic mandarin. Unless you ask him “How to pay for the purchase” then, miraculously, he is able to understand English.

So what’s my problem?....... I don’t speak Mandarin! Oh, :shock:  and ………….
When I down load the video file from the camera to my pc, I get a very annoying date & time displayed in the bottom of the screen. :!:

I suspect that there is a way to remove this unwanted intrusion,…..but I have no idea how! :?:

I don’t know if this is relevant or not, but written in part of the instruction manual is a piece about setting the correct time & date.

Quote:

4．Time set
There is a CD with the product which contains a file named time synchronization file. Please copy it to TF card. When connect D001 with computer, whose time will be displayed with computer synchronously.
The detail as following:
1.   build a text called TAG.TXT under root directory of card.
2.   open TAG.TXT,write synchronous date according to enclosure stricktly.
Details as following:
[date]   need space with newline
2009/07/22  need space with newline
12：00：00
Power on the machine everytime, system will check and analyse TAG.TXT, then set system time according to file time. After that the text will be deleted by system automatically.

Like I said, I don’t know if the above is relevant to the complete removal of the time & date from the screen image.

Anyone got any ideas on what I should do? :)

Hi Erwan,

Thanks for your advise.

I have tried to remove the time & date file but when I come to close the window it tells me that it is “read only” and can not be removed just by clearing the numbers.
Do you have any other ideas please?

Merci

Keith

erwan:
Look files property ,right clic on file maybe ut look like read only. Unactivate it and retry.

Happy Days:
Thank you for your advise Erwan. :D

I am going to return this camera to the seller because it will not work properly. (Sometimes it will not turn off and only stops working when the battery is empty! :( )

 I will try and change it for one that does not show the time and date. :)

Once again, thanks for your help :clap:

Keith
