Sony PMB Video Import Issue: Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
541930
Hi - video importing doesn't work for me. I'm using Win 7 pro....not home premium. I'm using the latest version of PMB (5.2), it simply does not recognize the camera connection at all. I've tried connecting it to 2 computers and used different USB ports. I'm out of ideas.

Probably not. I've had two Sony camcorders, and both have come with software and cables for importing video from the camera onto a computer. Using the appropriate software and connection that Sony provided will be much faster for importing video, as this device is only capturing the signal as fast as it is played (like a VCR). My older camcorder connected to a firewire port (also known as IEEE 1394) which is not always found in newer laptops/pcs, so if you were desperate, you could use the ION. My newer one uses PMB software and the camera connects to a USB 2.0 port. In some cases, you can save to a memory stick and then use a card reader on your pc for the memory stick.

I'm not familiar with your editing software, but I'm guessing it's probably a file sharing problem, i.e. the editor doesn't recognize the file type? Both these cameras generate the same kind of compressed files, so any problem you had with one you would have with the other. I would recommend a good video file converting program. That way you can convert your .mts files from the camera to .avi or .mov., etc, something your editor will recognize.You can find file converters free on the net, or for a relatively small price, much less than and editing program would cost you.

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

Try using Real Player, that is the only program that I have used that will play the Olympus .mov files with out a problem.

What I did was converted anything I wanted to watch to avi. Thru a program called format factory. N make sure ur usb flash drive is no bigger than 4GB. Or else it won't work.

iSkysoft also has a file converter than will convert these avi to .mov. With the latest QT update, I guess they view avi as an antiquated format so don't support it. A workaround is loading QT 7 which will still play the files but make sure you also have flip mac and get a Divx codec while your'e at it. The setout tool is only available for PC which makes no sense to me whatsoever but all in all a great little camera once you get past all the pain in the butt conversion issue.s

I bought two of these as christmas presents for my children and I have the same problem with one of them. I checked NTSC, but that should not have anything to do with the problem. NTSC/PAL is a regional setting when it comes to the video format. I am going to file a complaint and request either a new replacement or a refund for the bad item.

ive had .avi and mp4 files uploaded but received error messages until i downloaded a free video converter program called "Any Video Convertor". Its a great program to use and its FREE.

The other responses are correct. Download Sony File Manager at Google Play.

I haven't used MM as I'm a Linux guy but I had the same problem: mplayer was no audio, vlc would sometimes play them, sometimes would hang, sometimes with repeating audio and Parole was fine. But the root of the problem is the Quicktime format MOV files. It's a hack, but there's a way to put the ROAM2 firmware on the ROAM (basically rename the ROAM2 firmware filename). They now use MP4. As a bonus you get 60fps and a LOT of options. It's like having a ROAM2 without the lock switch basically.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply. The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.
