mpg ,,,,,, when i view the thumbnails under the footage in the album and click on the directory,,,, both have the name of the file followed by""" dot mpg"""

something else i tried was to download it on the windows movie maker thats part of the laptops programmes,,,, it cant find the source..... even tho its loaded on the darn thing

i'll play further later tonite,,,, even if i delete the existing programmes and download another from th web,,,,

Hi choppo, thats good it's an mpg file.

when viewing the file in album can you right click over the file and get an option to "convert to mpeg"?

Is so then do that and convert it to a folder where you can access it again. The reason i say this is because other programs will not recognize the file if it was recorded by sony mpg. Thus using the sony software imagemixer needs to convert it to mpeg.

then any other burning program will be able to use that mpg file.

worst case scenario you can send it to me and i will send it back on DVD for you.

nah,,,, unfortunately when i right click it gives me the following,,,

copy thumbnail
delete thumbnail
view/play
export within the album as a new picture
export within the album as a new movie
print
send source file as an email
isert image as a cover of album,,,

heres 2 others that are "dimmed"" meaning i can't activate

paste,,, and edit

time for a scotch,,,, then i'll toss a coin,,,,

thanks choppa

hmmm.... thats a bugger. how big is the file?

i use this site often to send large files to someone and it works well http://www.yousendit.com/

if you want to send it to me that way just PM me and i will give you my email to sendit to.

i would then convert it for to at least normal mpeg hopefully and sendit back to you to use.

just thinking out load.

thanks mate,,,, i did that to mrs choppa's email yesterday,,,,, 5 hours later it through the towel in by saying that an error had occured,, file size is 274,874 kb's

i'm going to uninstall and try a different program,,,,, as even with the ""sample"" footage on this program that runs for 4-5 seconds wont download to disc???

as normal,,,,, theres probably 1 button that i haven't clicked

lol,,,,,,,,,,choppa

just noticed,,,, that when i saved the clips to my desktop,,,, the icon shows the name of the file,,, and under it is shows MPEG?????

Hi choppa, yes mpeg is normal as is mpeg2 and mpg all the same.

the sendit website is a file upload system rather than sending it via email which most ISP's will time out on large files. what sendit does is send the link to the other person to download the file so it doesn't actually go through he email system.

just finished reading the introduction section of sendit,,,,,, now they tell me,,,,lol

currently downloading movie edit pro 14,,,,,, dunno why,,, has to be better than 13 tho'

i'll keep ya posted

choppa,,,, still cant work out why widows media wont accept the program,,,, the camera i've got is a jvc mini dv,,, and of course the ""experts in the household"" are now telling me all about how "you tube" is an easy way to solve the problem,,,,time for a scotch,,, the download is slow,, its up to 65%,,, should just about be done by the end of the glass

waste of time once more,,,, the download created no hiccups,,, and although once i connected the camera to the laptop,,,, no device can be found occured again,,,,albeit,,, i transferred the footage from the saved file on the desktop and all looked and sounded great,,,,, started to burn it to disk and got 99% through when,,,,,

yep you guessed it,,,, error code appeared from drop down box and it aborted,,,,

time for bed,,,,
