I have a question about this also...Is this a one-time use camcorder or can it be re-used?I am thinking the latter, just by virrtue of the selling price...Many thanks in advance!

Any chance you are using Roxio and Windows Vista? That is combo that we have as we're considering this camcorder.

The camera package provides a cord that will allow you to hook it up to your tv. Look at this I Pod cord here : Brand New Video/Photo AV (Audio/Video) Cable For Apple iPodthis allows you to hook up a video Ipod to your TV. A cord just like that is included to allow you to hook up the camera to a tv.

Yes you can. Format, depends on what you use and save after you edit. I use Roxio and save as WMV. I also burn to DVD and play on a 50" plasma. Video is better than our old VHS-C and close to MiniDV.

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

Can you transfer the video from the computer to a TV and, if so, how? V. Moore

Oh, it can be re-used as many times as needed. I originally made this post before I received mine. It can record up to 60 minutes. If you need more than 60 minutes, simply plug it into your usb port and store the video file on your computer and then delete it off of the camera. Video files are in AVI format

According to the manual, "The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. The maximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time is more than 20 minutes or a video file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video file is created automatically." This is probably to allow use of video from this camera with older DOS FAT-16 and FAT-32 file size limitations.

Are you asking how to download the video even though it is in segments? If so, I would say, rather than let the computer do the automatic download, try and grab all the individual video clips and put them in a place where you can view them. The video will only record 10 minute segments... if you have a clip longer than 10 minutes, it will automatically be broken into pieces. You will need to use something like Windows Movie Maker to stitch the clips together back into a single long video. Thanks! Good luck!

Regarding your question: Can the end user save specific video? No ....however, I purchased a second 32GB card to swap when an event is recorded that I want to keep & upload the specific video to my PC. I keep the spare in my car so that I can swap cards at my next stop following an event. Just remember, let you camera power-down before you remove the card if you decide to use this solution. Hope this helps you !!

I've taken short vids. I've not tried long ones. There are two things limiting videos - battery and SD cardsize. My 8 gb card gives stores about 30 minutes at the default. The battery dies fairly quickly as well. As far as action or POV, if you can figure out how to mount it, why not? The camera has a 1/4-20 mounting thread. Or there's always duct tape :)

This is a NO BRAINER......... If you look at the size of the video file ??? then play the video ????? you can figure this out....example.....video size is 40gb ----- play time is 100 min... 40/100=.4gb per min ... so 4gb = 10 min... Got it????

The video recorder will continue to overwrite data once it runs out of storage. Exception: there is a built in sensor when it senses a crash it will keep I believe 5 minutes before and after the event "marking" it as do not erase. I believe so you can use for insurance purposes. There is also a manual button you can use to "mark" video. I am using a 16GB card and I get 2 hours on best - so you should get about 4 hours.

Greetings! I think that if you have a large enough memory card (SD XC) you will be able to shoot for that long. Actually if you set the video quality lower you can likely go much longer than 90 minutes, as the file size would be reduced. Hope this is helpful!

I have a PC, but I can tell you that when I went online to download the software for modifying the videos I could choose either PC or MAC version of the software. But frankly I don't use their software. The camcorder saves the videos on the SD memory chip and you can just put that into your computer and modify it with your favorite software. I hope that helps.

Yes you will be able to record video for up to 19 minutes that I know that's only the longest I've taped anything. And you can even upload videos to YouTube straight from your device. You can also put your AS card from your phone and use it for your table. If you don't have an SD card that's fine. You can use your table with put an SD card. Or you van go to your local Walmart and get a (16 GB SD card) for about 20 dollars. Or you can get an (32 GB SD card) from Amazon for no more then 28 dollars but I'm not sure but they have great prices on a huge selection of things.

The manual says 320 minutes for 1080, 480 minutes at 720/60 and 620 minutes at 720/30. I would go with what the manufacturer says (60 minutes). It records in cycles of 1 minute or 5 minutes, now keep in mind this is continuous in a sense. I keep my cycles to 1 minute, this way it won't take forever to upload to YouTube. Now I play them all back at once on my PC, the one minute clips let me cycle through a trip a lot faster. Searching through 5 minutes at a time could prove more tedious. My advice is to set and on one minute and leave it. I do delete my micro sd each day, even though it's not necessary, since it will cycle back around and over you oldest clips first.

There are multiple variables that you have to take into account. Are you using 16 cameras or less. Obviously with fewer cameras there is less video being recored. Next are you recording in the highest video clarity... 960 vs. 480. What size hdd do you have installed and do you also use an external? Finally I am not sure if you can only record 16 hours and then just record motion only for the other 8 or not. Unfortunately your question can't be answered easily with out more information. I would look at worse case when you do it though to figure out if its going to last long enough for you.

It depends on the size of the hard drive you are using on the PC you are recording with. You can use the included software or any off the shelf IP Camera software. This is just a camera and does not record to itself. Usually you can estimate about 1GB per hour of recording on just about any camera with average quality settings. I would suggest adding a secondary hard drive dedicated to storing your video.

Thanks Dale --That sounds great! Almost too easy to be true? I guess the big hang up with those old camcorders was getting the video onto a PC, connections, storage space, firewire's, etc.... I just want to put them on a dvd so this sounds like it would work for me. It is just home video of the kids growing up so top image quality isn't really a concern. The only other question is, what do you think the 'playability' of the recorded disc would be on devices going forward, meaning our PC, parents PC, whatever dvd player we have, etc.....? Any special type of disc to ensure compatability with multiple devices?If I spend hours converting but then can't watch, I haven't really accomplished anything. Thanks Dale --That sounds great!

We have a 24 hour time grid that you can click through and fast forward at different speed to find the video footage you are looking for. Please note that you are required to have an hard drive in order to record video footage. Thank you

There is a six hour mode, but you lose quality at that level. I prefer to record at no more than three hours for videos I plan to keep and replay more than once.

Don't know what problem you're having. I tested this for about an hour of continuous recording. I plugged the device into a PC and it played ten minutes (9:59 to be exact) of video. What you need to do is to go into the removable drive )my computer/ removable drive (E) or what ever letter it may show) and open the folder. You will see a number of ten minute clips (depending on how long you recorded for). Also, you may need to see what types of files your media player is set to play. It may not have TIF chosen.
