rlade Posted December 17, 2010 Share #1 Posted December 17, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK, I'm going to be embarrassed here I'm sure, but I tried the video on my D-Lux 5 tonight for the first time at my Grandson's chorus show, and now I can't seem to get anything off the card. The videos play in the camera, but nothing shows up that I can transfer to the computer. Anybody want to make me look like an idiot and tell me the simple thing that I'm missing here? In my defense, I never use the video modes in my still cameras, I have a camcorder for that.....except for tonight....I let my son borrow it!!!! Any ideas on this????

Rusted Chrome Posted December 17, 2010 Share #2 Posted December 17, 2010 I'm not at home with my camera at the moment but I can tell you that the files are not in the folder with the still pictures. They are buried in several subfolders and have the .mts extension. I'll look into it tomorrow if you haven't gotten it figured out by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPJMP Posted December 17, 2010 Share #3 Posted December 17, 2010 Don't feel bad. It's not as simple as it seems. The default video format is AVCHD. You need to have some software on your computer that will read and play AVCHD video files. It will usually be some kind of video editing software. If you have a Mac, then iMovie will recognize and import the files. If you don't want to mess with that and want the simplicity of viewing the movies immediately, you might be better off going into your menu and changing the video format to Motion-JPEG. That format will play on just about anything, but takes up a lot more space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPJMP Posted December 18, 2010 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2010 Come t think of it, unless you plan on taking a lot of video where the more advanced compression of AVCHD would mean not filling up your SD card prematurely, you might be better off just shooting M-JPEG. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think there will be a quality difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderswi Posted December 19, 2010 Share #5 Posted December 19, 2010 Hello! I have no problem with the AVCHD videofiles. I am using VLC mediaplayer. It is a free download. Google, and you find it. Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitom Posted December 19, 2010 Share #6 Posted December 19, 2010 A question in addition: how can I put some video sequences together to one scene? Is there a program available for that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
