I'm sure it's well established that I know nothing about anything so please be patient if I don't explain this well. ...actually I'm just going to grab the post I posted elsewhere - brb
smart people i need your help, don't make me have to start a thread in vorsprung
I have my camera connected to the laptop and have used the windows photo gallery to import pics and videos. the photo gallery said it couldn't play the videos so I moved them to winamp - they are showing as mp.4s and while the audio will play in winamp I don't know how to get the video to play.
help please
hey liz,
you need to download quicktime to watch those videos. It's apple/itunes proprietary format...i e mp4.
winamp wont see that format.
weird my laptop froze, doouble post.
can't I change the format or something? why would it go to mp4?
so, you recorded video off ur camera and that's the format it initially showed up as?
if you want to change the format to WMV u need a converter... I think this is a free one here: WUGNET - AVS Video Tools - Windows Vista XP Shareware)
fuck off
nah, i think i'm gonna go watch some .mp4 vids on my macbook pro instead.
This has already been pretty thoroughly explored, but I'll throw my suggestions in the pot:
Solutions:
1. Obvious solution: download Quicktime or iTunes to play the movie in.
2. Techie solution: download eRightSoft's Super Video Converter to convert the movie to a different file type.
3. Complicated solution: upload the video to YouTube. This will convert it to a flv file that you can watch via the site. If your chosen programs play flv files too, you could then use keepvid.com to download the flv file of the video, to play it in your program.
I've never used winamp, so I don't know much about it. But now, with the right codecs, you can play almost everything in Windows Media Player. I downloaded an extensive codec pack free some time ago. I can find the link of anyone wants it.
