MSC vs. MTP? Can someone describe the difference between MSC and MTP? I know the "iriver plus 3" software requires MSC, and Windows Media Player 11 requires MTP, but other than that, why would I choose MSC or MTP? MSC vs. MTP?

From what I understand MSC (Mass Storage Class) is where you can drag and drop items into a removable hard drive (ex. flash drive, connected phone). While MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) is where you sync items to a hard drive (ex. using windows media play to sync music to an mp3 player). So far that is all I've figured out about it.

this unit does not download normal mpe3 file such as wma files; thus, limiting your file choices. i did not have to load software

For Multimedia I added the following, because the player that comes with 08 leaves somewhat to be desired:1 - UKMPlayer (UKMP)2 - Kagu Media Player3 - MPlayer (required for other players to play video)4 - MediaBox Media Center5 - Maemo Music Player Client (for streaming audio)6 - Video Center - for viewing and storing streaming video7 - Quiver Image ViewerAll those players because some play filetypes others do not.For PIM I added:1 - GPE Suite (contacts, to-do list, calendar, etc)Utilities1 - Password SafeA/V Capture1 - Maemo Recorder2 - CameraThat's it, so far.

Install Windows Media Player 11. I have this installed in my PC, and it works great.

.TS or MPEG 2 file. The files are very large and I found it makes little sense trying convert them to another format to watch on another video player.

I contacted Sony customer support, here is the question and response: Model : bdp-s570 Question: When will you offer firmware that will allow more video file formats mkv, m4v, mp4, m2ts, etc... to be streamed over the network connection from a DLNA media server? At this point it plays very few file types. one of the main reasons I purchased this product was to stream video over my network. Thank You Response: Thank you for contacting Sony Support. I'm sorry, but there is no update available to support the additional file formats via DLNA. I've provided a link with the information on the file types that are supported when using the DLNA feature: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1017936 Thank you for your time.

That is a completely fair point, especially for the present. My contention was mainly that 20 years down the line, the software and formats will likely be very different from today, and those which are tied to a particular player (such as WMV or WMA) are in fact more likely to die out. However, you are correct that Windows is not likely to go anywhere, even in that time frame, and thus it's probably a pretty safe bet.It remains that the native format of these AVCHD files are not by default playable in WMP, though they probably will be in the future as it looks like the MTS format used for AVCHD files will become a standard for all camera brands.

There were several versions of MS Office 2007 - this is the simplest, but by no means is it lacking. As an experienced user, I've found no features lacking. However, one thing you should be aware of- it only allows you to load up the program 3 times. So if you have Windows crash twice (it's happened to me), you've used up the license.

All I used it with was .ts files [MPEG], recorded on my computer with NPVR [http://www.nextpvr.com/], which is a free, open source video scheduler and recorder. I didn't even try it with anything else. I can only assume that it would handle the WMC formats fine.

It supports most all of them EXCEPT WMV. For some reason they excluded Windows Media Player files from their list. I have to convert My WMV videos into AVI or something. Other than that it has been a great little DVR, and digital converter (my original need for it), for the money.

I have no problems playing the video on Windows 7. The included viewer software is ok, but it's not great. I downloaded a free viewer called Registrator (http://www.registratorviewer.com/download_en.html) that is 1000 times better. It allows you to view the GPS track on a map beside the video along with G-sensor data etc. I highly recommend it. The cam does have a very small amount of internal storage, but not very much (I don't remember the amount). It's not enough to record more than a few minutes of video probably. You'll need a SD card for any decent recording times. I've been using mine for about 7 months now and I love it.

Ah...I see. I had the Shark007 32-bit drivers installed but didn't yet have the 64-bit drivers installed. I installed the 64-bit drivers and then rebooted. I opened WMP12; however, all my mkv's are still in the "Other Media" list in WMP12. Do you know how to make WMP12 re-categorize the mkv's from "Other Media" into "Videos"?

I found this online and thought of our previous discussion. Figured that I'd pass it along to ya..."Player can be put in UMS/MSC mode via a startup hack:Let it boot up up, put the hold switch on. Hold down the left side of the scroll wheel and plug the usb cable in at the same time. Keep holding it until a drive appears."

Fine. I am using VLC media player on Linux Mint though. Maybe Win8 has higher demands. I haven't tried it.

I bought the disk (DVD -- note) and loaded the software to my PC... installed it to the hard disk; I prefer the disk as when I change or upgrade PCs I can reload the software -- after telling Microsoft what I am doing so they don't think I am installing a single-license version on 2 PCs. Please note that it is a DVD and does not load thru a CD-ROM. MS Word 2010 is also the last version of Word that runs on XP SP3.. Be sure of what you are buying -- disk or download; see seller's comments on whether the box/package was opened or not -- that means disk. the Word 2013 version needs Windows 7 or 8 .... Jay

With the Sony players, you can use Windows Media if you want...it's compatible. However, it doesn't force you to. If you prefer, you can also use a simple drag-and-drop with folders, like a mass storage device.

if you dont mind spending the money,premiere pro cs4 is excellent,final cut is also pretty good,and toast 10 pro will burn your discs from mts files too.sony vegas is another one to consider for a windows machine.
