Can this camera save videos using mpeg4 format, I mean, save the videos clips to .mp4 file. Because .mov file is huge.

Seems like only the MOV format is supported. The manual only references MOV file extensions and there is no option to change movie formats.

We use AVI format, our MP4 movies would not play. We love ours and use them on long road trips!

Actually, the camera can only record in the crappy .mts file format. You have to convert the file yourself using third-party software (I use Prism) to be able to make some use out of .mts files.

It may be just me, but I rarely upload raw, straight video from camera to Youtube. I think every video could use a little clean up and editing before posting. Unless you have something earth shattering, take the time to make it look good. That said, I'm not sure if YouTube will take the native file format of this camera or not. The files are large - reason two for making edits and 'right-sizing' the files. You can make the files the best they need to be for whatever service you upload them to. Finally, I can confirm, without a doubt that this camera does not have the ability to do a wireless file transfer. Good luck!

They record in .MOV format, but you can very easily copy the video's off the glasses and then convert them to almost any format; I use FreeMake Video Converter it's a free download and does an excellent job converting the videos to any format. With no quality loss as long as you make the appropriate selections.

I have recorded video on my panasonic digital camera from time to time, but I primarily take stills so I cannot attest to the hd video......but the stills come out great.

Sorry, this won't be the complete answer because I actually haven't used this camera much, but I can at least tell you that you'll more than likely be limited by storage capacity for the 1000fps. I routinely fill up my 32gb (it might be 64) card with several 1-2 minute clips. You really have to re-encode them to get the file size down while still maintaining quality image (google handbrake - fairly easy, powerful, and free!). The 480 can easily do much longer (5, 10+? Minutes), but again I haven't used it much. Sorry again it's not as detailed as you're looking for, hopefully it helps some. Good luck!

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj

Dear Windy,To be honest, I cannot give you an answer because I have never been able to download info into the MP4 referenced. I tried several times when I first received the MP4 but was unsuccessful. Since then I have mothballed the device. I am tech challenged but, thanks to your inquiry, will try to use the MP4 again.Thanks,Richard S.

That being a longer video, and If I remember correctly, it will record 4gb and then start another movie as a safety save type of thing. It will be seamless when edited. Do you have LOOP on or off? The answer may be there too.

Its all of the camera companies. Apparently the .mov format has better quality and compression.

If you are wanting to use this product for video I would highly recommend you rethink that. For stills it is fine, but I literally went through 8 different formats from mpeg4 to avi to avi with their codec and still no luck (and I am not new to formatting video). Garbage.

I've been wondering the same thing. When i try to import videos from the camera to windows movie maker it says they are in the wrong format.

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.

I don't own one myself, but I bough it for a close friend of mine and I played a lot with it, and tried everything extensively with photos and videos. I bought an SD1200 not long ago for another one, and I think the 940 takes some better pictures, but has many more features plus HD video. But can still not understand why they switched to MOV format. Is it related to HD format?

I never use the format MP4. I just use to play the BD and standard DVD. I wish I could help you more.

Hi. There are various MP4 file formats. If our unit does not read or recognize the file you would like to play, we recommend converting or downloading file as a AVI, DVIX or M4V.
