There is a little red arrow on the back of the camera that plays back video or reviews photos. You can save or delete as you would with any digital camera. You can, of course, also plug the cAMERA into a laptop and playback video and save to a folder.

Only way I could see to accomplish this would be to plug it into hdmi out into a capture card on a PC, and stream from that. But, I'm not sure if that mode can be used for live video or just playback.

We stand corrected by Robert Sax and desire to amend the answer to the above question. This unit does in fact play back audio discs as well as record.I have never used the play back feature , so my wife who replied to the question misunderstood my reply . SORRY

You press "Menu" on the back of the camera just above the garbage can icon. This brings up choices - "Basic, Video, Picture," etc. You want the second choice, "Video." You select "Video" by moving the miniature joystick [located in the center of the recording/playback/definition (STandarD or High D)] down and then pressing it in, it takes you to Page 1 of 2 pages under the Video category. Using the joystick, move past the last choice at the bottom ("Mic Level"), which will take you to Page 2. On Page 2 of "Video" you will find AGS which you can turn On or Off by using the joystick.

Hello, Recording is rather simple with this machine. Once turned on , press record, let it initialize, press record,,again. You have to hit the stop button twice for it to stop recording. to play back hit play. Your recording should play back. I have several of these recorders and one does not playback through the recorder only through the computer. I had no problem getting the company to send a replacement.

If your camera can be hooked up to a TV and you can play back video from it, then yes. But it's not as simple as downloading, you have to capture the video with the software, basically playing it back using the included software on your computer and recording that. The resulting file can be edited and burned to DVD.

Yes you can, for different formats you might have to download a different video player. But I haven't run into any that can't be played yet

Yes, you can rewind and play back just like most other audio recorders. It has the same type of functions, i.e. record, pause, play, rewind & fast forward. It also gives you a very clear audio playback for it's size.

They are stored away now as I used them at Halloween, but as I recall you push the back switch to RECORD and hold the big top button down the whole time you record. When you release the top button it stops recording. Then turn the back button to ON push the top big button to play back.

You can play back directly fron the device but the speakers are not very good and the screen is small so it is sometimes hard to see exactly what you got. This doesn't bother me because this device is really easy to put on your computer or tv (with an HDMI not included). It comes with a 4 gig memory card which holds about 2 hours of video. It does come with a car mounting attatchment but the one it comes with has a sticky adhesive that would stick to your dash or windsheild and be a pain to get off! We opted for a suction cup type mound instead so it can be moved from vehicle to vehicle w/o a problem.

There are two options for playback. The included HDMI cable can hook up the camcorder to any TV or monitor with an HDMI input. Use the menu on the camcorder LCD to navigate to playback and select the video you want to play. Alternatively, you can connect the camcorder to your computer via the USB cable and transfer the files to the computer. From there, you can play them in Windows Media Player or whatever the media player is on your computer.

If you have Windows 7, the Windows Media Player should play them. If you have an older version of Windows, you'll probably need to convert them, or you can upload them to YouTube (can leave them set to Private or Unlisted if you don't want the world to see them) and let YouTube convert them for you (though I've found that it doesn't do a perfect job of rendering them for you, they seem to be a little choppier when uploaded straight from AVCHD format vs. rendering them to .wmv first).To convert/render them yourself, a good program is Sony's Vegas Studio HD. About $90, but at that it's a lot cheaper than something like Adobe Premier and it does a good job of handling HD video. If you have Windows 7, the Windows Media Player should play them.
