The SD1400IS takes movies in .MOV format. Can you load then to youtube? Will I have to convert movies to load to youtube or to view on my PC?

Exact quote from Youtube: Here's the list of some well-known formats which YouTube supports: WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec) -MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files - (typically supporting h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec) -AVI (Many cameras output this format - typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM) -MPEGPS (Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio) -WMV -FLV (Adobe - FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio) Tips and notes: -You should always upload your video in the original format in the highest quality possible. -We prefer de-interlaced files. -If your file is using h264 encoding we prefer files without PAFF/MBAFF encoding. -Audio and video lengths should be the same and audio should start at the same time as the video. "MOV /MP4 /3GPP files are index based. Simply put, this means that there is an index in the file that tells us the specific location of where in the file the video and audio frames are present. Without the index, it is almost impossible to know where the data for a specific video or audio frame is. This index is contained in what is called a 'moov' atom in the file. Now, if the index is at the beginning of the file, it will enable processing of the video as and when successive bytes of the file are uploaded. On the other hand, if the index is at the end, processing the video cannot begin until the entire upload is complete - since the index is needed to interpret the file. Hence, for MOV / MP4 / 3gpp files, we prefer the "moov" atom in the beginning of the file - also known as "fast start" or a "flattened" MP4 / MOV file. There are tools available on the web to flatten your MOV file. Usually the video editing/export software will have options to create your files with the moov atom in the beginning rather than the end of your file. If you are using Apple editing tools, then see this article on how to produce files with moov atom in the beginning of the file."

Yes you can. This camera records in two formats. .MOV is easier to import but not 100% full-HD. The other format, you have to download a specific player. Do a little research on google and you will get a lot of good tips online. Thanks.

No Im afraid it doesnt Convert Video Formats. Its Playback Not Editing Software.

Yes. You can play stored movie files directly from the sd card or transfer it to the internal memory. I would keep it on the sd card, though.

I had difficulty playing MP4 files on my computer but I was able to convert them (with no loss of information) to MOV files, which play without a problem using SUPER. Only problem is that it took overnight to convert the files! I'm surprised that for a device that is supposed to be easy to use, it was so difficult to see the files.

10-4 on that divx info.There is DivX, which is a later take-off on XVID. (play on the name---inverting it) A lot of the available movies "out there" are XVID and appear to play fine on tthe Coby 7377. It's hard to tell because they almost all come "parckaged" in a dot avi file. Whats actually in there is hard to deciper- to my mind anyway. So the avi file that comes off my camera is WAY different than the avi file which contains a feature-release movie (as a DivX or XVID) But I believe that both of those popular formats will play on the unit.OK- get back to work! Me too. 10-4 on that divx info.There is DivX, which is a later take-off on XVID.

Not sure I understand the question. I have no issues with the video it records. The files are AVI type files and all I do is copy them from the SD card to the computer, and play them using Windows Media Player. Have not had to convert the files to any other type of video file type.

I have a Mac Mini and I'm able to import the videos without problem. Besides, the software will reside in the SD card, not your Mac

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.

This camera makes mp4 videos. A format that will cause you no problems with any system. The files are on the SD card in the DCIM folder under 100Media. And you just drag them to your desired folder on your computer. Super simple. Newer camcorders record in "avchd", which is fine if you run windows, but Macs still make you jump through hoops in order to import the footage. The Files are in the Folder Private. Then the Folder AVCHD. Then the folder BDMV. The the folder Stream. If you are running windows you can just drag the footage from the Stream folder to your desired folder. But if you are using a MAC you need to drag the entire BDMV folder over. But the Toshiba Camileo X200 records mp4's. This camera makes mp4 videos.

You wont see any videos on the sd card. Just double click on the video player to open it and you will see a list of all the videos. Then you can save any directly to your pc.

I am serving files via a Synology NAS, model # DS210J. I could not view or play .MKV or M4V video files on the BD player. My solution (after many hours of hair-pulling) was to change the video file name extension from .MKV to .MPG and the 720P video files would be recognized by the Sony and play correctly. I hope this helps.

I never try loading movies from USB and SD card, I always watch movie from DVD. My model is 4 years old so it does not have SD card slot.

Thanks for the great information. How do you know which files to convert off your camera (when using without iMovie). The files I see are .MOD, .MOI, and .PGI. Thanks for the help!

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

I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine. For some reason the high def MP4s won't play on mine but the standard size MP4 plays just fine. I have settled on using the VOB format for most of my video and they look fine on my 55" screen. I haven't tried the surround sound with the videos yet. For some videos (kids movies) I rip the DVD to the standard MP4 because the videos digitize fast and the file size is small, about 1 to 2 GB, compared to the VOB file size of 3 to 5 GB. This could be one of the coolest electronic things I have purchased. I haven't tried all of the formats they claim to work but just about everything I have tried does work fine.
