video camera formatting problem HELP !

(1/4) > >>

Richard Boyd:
A few months back I bought a Lumix FZ35 camera with combined video camera, I loved the little beauty,
Now from my trip to Mt. Leinster I have been having problems with the videos !!!!!!!!!!!!
Adobe and Picaso see the still pictures but the videos donot show on my PC !
This problem has just started, and I am miffed as to the cause and to the solution.
I read some were about codec and that XP windows/ windows movie maker, sony vega does not recognise AVCHD Lite files, but I can assure you my PC and Sony vega recognised them 2 weeks ago.

IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT KNOWS ABOUT THESE THING PLEASE CAN THEY HELP.

Hi Richard,
Thats a nice camera you have both.
Could you specifie what you mean with ... "but the videos do not show on my PC ! " You mean that you can play them OR that they dont show up in the explorer when you browse the SDcard?
First check your baby what format is she recording in.. is it AVCHD or the Motion jpeg (xxxxxxx.MOV). I have Panasonic my self and it uses Motion Jpeg format . In this case u will have to instal a Quick Time Video codec otherwise it wont play. And XP moviemaker doesnt support .MOV files, so you will have to get video converter to convert it to either .avi or .mpeg files.
AVCHD files are using mpeg-4 decoding and XP Mediaplayer should handel this files easy.

I thing that the .MOV files are your problem :?:  but well, I could be wrong.

Richard Boyd:
Hi Peter, thanks for the reply.
I have the recording mode set at AVCHD Lite, I also tried motion JPEG but when I try to get the video footage from the card it now appears as an unreadable file.

Previously I used Picaso to get the videos and photos from the camera and it was working perfectly.

I can watch the videos on the camera, I can watch the videos using VLC video player which I downloaded last nite.
The problem is that Sony vega does not recognise the file either so I cannot edit the footage or add music etc.

This is a video I took at Lithuania championchips and I had no problems.
I wonder what I have done wrong or what has changed in my camera.

shamanisko:
Thats the footage from your new camera?And you edited it just recently in Sony Vegas without problems?....hmmm :?:
I dont thing its your camera...more likely its the software :?: Does sony vegas give you an Error Message when you are trying to open/add video the file???could you post a "Print Screen" of it?
Did you instal any software meanwhile??

Richard Boyd:
Hi Peter, the file will load into Sony Vega but it has only sound and no motion picture.

I only have had one download and that was adobe flash player 10 activeX

This is the file I open

PRIVATE_

AVCHD_

AVCHDTH-

THUMB.TDT this file shows as unreadable !

The error reads;

 error 2048. Couldn't open the file THUMB.TD because it is not a file that quicktime understands

As you have gathered I know nothing about computors, so your kind help is really appreciated.

Richard
