Yes. The predecessor SD950 IS movies are recorded as AVI files, which are compatible with Windows Movie Maker. The SD990 IS movies are recorded as MOV files, the Apple QuickTime format. I purchased QuickTime Pro ($29.95) to convert the MOV files to AVI files.

Yes but son used this weekend. Would not take video and would only take four pics and would freeze up. Not something I would recommend

I don't know? It is not identified on the camera itself. Our issue was taking a quick sequence of pictures which is accomplished by this camera by using the sports mode (which is really the movie function)

I think you would want such a function with the video editing software not the camera itself.Think of it as recording a master film and then making a copy of it with the format / effects you want to be modified or added.This way you always have an original backup.

No, not to my knowledge and I have gone through the manual and have not seen anything in it either. There is software that allows images from movies to be pulled though and that may suit what you're looking for. Here is a link to the manual for this camera. Nikon is good about making these available and it helped me in deciding to purchase this cameral. I hope this helps.http://www.nikonusa.com/E986CE29-1660-4352-BAF4-B0679C103862/FinalDownload/DownloadId-9A618DE8CDB47497A41DFD37F0170752/E986CE29-1660-4352-BAF4-B0679C103862/pdf/manuals/kie88335f7869dfuejdl=-cww2/AW100EN.pdf No, not to my knowledge and I have gone through the manual and have not seen anything in it either.

The manual says it can record 24 min. 45 sec. of 1080p (highest resolution) video on a 4 GB memory card. I briefly tested the function and the videos looked really good.

D. Barnes is correct. Although I'm very new with the camera, I am amazed at how well the stability worked with telephoto movie. When photographing our grandson's football game, the camera was set to full zoom, and the view finder shown the movie as shaking terribly. I was certain it would be unviewable (a word?). But after downloading, it was quite amazing how steady the movie appeared. Impressive.

I have not yet tested that feature unfortunately. The camera was a gift to my mom and I am still at the level of teaching her how to use the basic features before moving to the next level

Yes, I took pictures and video. Sometimes tapping the screen works better than others. I ended up pressing down on the volume as the shutter as it was more reliable.

I'm not sure I never got mine to work. Wish I was more help. the camera may be ok but they sent it with third party software that didn't work. I googled for an answer and found lots of issues with the same problem and other people. I downloaded it from the mfg site and installed it. Still didn't work and after investigation it is a cloud type software that I felt was a security risk. I would buy from a reputable company.

Sorry-previously answered-yes it does take movies-I never knew how to do it-just downloaded directions and tried it-pretty cool

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.

I have not. Be sure to check the specs on the Cam. Some take specific cards. My cam uses any Micro SD Card and this one works great in it.

Brandon, We did get it to work with my camera, but it did not work for video which is why I bought it in the first place. So, I can't recommend it.

I believe it has a built in protocol that takes images from the bottom camera and compares the most current image to the previous frame. This unfortunately causes some drift over time. Playing around some you should be able to have it use an initial image and use that one as a reference for all other frames taken and later time points.

I did not do anything special. Of course the manual only gives a hint.Send the manual through Google Translate helps a bit.I have used it for more about 6 months or so without problems.The cam has lots of features that can be accessed via the menu. Two issues: The manual is cryptic but one can experiment to figure it out.The record file format is mov which may work well for some users but I would prefer a different format.

Yes. In my case I was never able get the camera working properly. Spent a couple of months at it even , purchashed Blue Iris for software control. Finely gaveup and wrote the camera off as a bad purchase. I refer you to my original reviewI wrote shortly after purchase.
