Download the VLC media player from VideoLAN here: www.videolan.org/vlc/index.htmlAn easy install of a respected product, will play just about anything, including these vids.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've tried changing resolution, using Quicktime and Real Player and get the same results.

I have an older computer with an XP operating system. I needed a simple way to load files without burning DVDs. I then took the flashdrive to my new computer, with a Windows 7 operating system and uploaded the files to the new computer. It was a piece of cake to use. I know your question involved using it on a DELL computer, but the brand name is actually a secondary to the operating system, i.e. Windows XP. I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase, and think you will too. PS - I also loved the price. Hope this helps Sarah! Enjoy Spring!

I play the videos using Windows Media Player. I have a Windows 7 computer. I download the videos from the XTC-200 using Windows Explorer. I then can edit the videos using Windows Live Movie Maker. I have been very pleased with the movies I have been able to create.

I am having issues also. WMP doesn't recognize the files, KMPlayer plays audio and video but they are out of sync (video is too slow), Quicktime plays audio and video but the video is "jerky" and not as smooth as it should be, VLC was only playing the audio. I'm running out of things to try. -_-

Hi! I tried an a couple of .avi files, and had the same issue with only getting the sound portion on one, and nothing on the other (they had been written by different programs.) Then I tried using the DivX converter on one and it ran fine (though to be honest, the picture was pretty bad!) I haven't bought the converter software, just a 15 day free trial of it, and plan to try the Xvid freeware first. Does anyone know where to get free divX downloads?

It "supports" divx. WMP 11 will convert divx to wmv and actually, if you change the extension on your divx file to avi, if they are not already that way, you should have no problems at all. But, unfortunately, the player itself will not play divx without going through conversion. Also, unlike what the guy above said, you should download WMP 11 as it is much much better than 10 and even though its in beta any bugs that are there are very minor. Toshiba is almost there with a near perfect product. A few additions and this would have destroyed anything else, now its just better than the ipod and as good as the vision m. It "supports" divx.

I had no problems importing videos to my pc. You probably need to download a Sony driver.

I still use XP Pro. I expect my Capture will work on newer versions of windows. 8.* is supposed to have touch screen capabilities.

What do you mean? It has a sad card so if your computer has a slot it will read the data from the card. Movies are created in mp4 format. I had an issues using this format with moviemaker software on windows 7 . Have not tried it on windows8

OK, please forgive this question as I'm new to digital recording; I just got this product and the instruction booklet does not talk about installing drivers for my machine which is Windows 7. Are the drivers on the included disk compatible with Windows 7? Or should I track down a Windows 7 only driver. If so, where can I find one I can safely (without risk of malware/virus) download one. Thanks

Hi Mike and Oscar, I'm having the same problem in trying to get my .avi file captured from a Flip Video Camera; Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 only has a black screen with sound. I had to send the .avi file to a friend with a Mac, who had a program to convert it to an .mpeg file; then it works. I'm searching for a solution that I can solve on my own with my PC.

Yes, as a DRIVER for playing a CD it works great...the only issue I have with it is I thought that it would include some built in software that would enable me to copy my Windows Movie Videos I made on Windows 8, and copy them to a CD using this item, and voila, I could play it in a DVD. Shows what I get for thinking. I have to find some kind of software that will convert it from WMV Movie Maker Project to AVI or MP4, something like that. Easier said than done. If you know what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Other people said this was a cheap item, but I didn't see it that way at all. The cord is a little short, so if your tower sits to the side of your computer, you may have to put it up on a couple of books, or a small box to get the height up tall enough to reach your port. Mine are on the front. Good Luck and Merry Christmas

Hi emkp. The Elgato box says only for Windows 7 and later. HOWEVER - years ago I bought a similar (almost identical) product made by Belkin which worked with the Windows versions of that time including XP. I still have a laptop with XP and this Belkin USB VideoBus with its earlier software (FSU208) works with it. Do a web search and you may find someone who still sells version I or version II of this product. Belkin.com still offers downloads of the drivers. I had been waiting for Belkin to come out with a Win7 update but I found Elgato which works with PC and Mac so I bought it. If you find the older products just make sure the software offered works with XP. Check this page out to see what I mean - http://www.belkin.com/it/support/download.asp?lang=1&download=F5U208&mode= Because Belkin did not get a "seal of approval" from Microsoft for its software I recall that I sometimes had trouble and had to reload the drivers a few times. But the product did work. Good Luck.

It probably is because most drivers are given to Microsoft so their automatic updating can supply everything. However, make it clear to the seller who is too lazy to spend an hour of so going through the Toshiba website. It's like my camcorder. It was made while XP was still an option for operating systems. It wouldn't work with windows 7 but after I hooked it up to my laptop, windows found it & the next time windows updated, a couple of framework updates & there, was my camcorder listed among the other updates. Just make sure that you can return it if it doesn't. Remember, you have the upper hand because the seller hasn't done the homework for the buyers.

If you have a memory card adapter or slots on your PC or printer (connected to PC) you can put the memory card in the slot and it should bring up the auto-play menu thing on Windows. If it does, hit the folder button then you can copy/paste them where you want. If it doesn't show up or autoplay does not start, wait a minute after inserting the card so it can plug-and-play install (you can see the little icons at the bottom of your screen, it should say something about installing something) then go to My Computer; there should be a new drive letter that isn't associated with your stuff. That'll be your memory card and you can find your files to do as you please with them. If you aren't using a memory card, you'll have to hook your camera up via USB directly to your computer and access the files through there. I know I"m not too detailed on explaining; though I hope it helps. :/

My unit just arrived a couple days ago and I am unable to play video using Windows Media Center as well. I tried downloading the "latest" video drivers from Asus, which were months old - even more outdated than what was already installed! "Updating" (downdating?) the video drivers did nothing to improve the problem. The video files play perfectly on the PC using Windows Media Player; but not Windows Media Center. I get audio and a motionless garbled or black picture only.

I don't know. I found this program more difficult to use that the one I had before - "Creative Media Source". I went back to it. It is on my Wiin XP computer and came with the sound card, and I cannot find any place to buy it. Now that XP is no longer supported, I am using the old computer off-line, just for for copying my old recordings, and off-line activities, etc. That way I can use the Creative Media Source for my sound work.
