ok its a great camera. while i was opening the darn memory card thing, i sliced my thumb wide open bc of the mother ***** god ** packaging at 3am LOL ... *which i got a video of the after effect ;)*

i like to transfer pics via USB and no software. i like the drag and drop w/o 2ndary software. so i pull my stuff from my camera then i decided i wanted to put the video back on as well as a few of the pics so i could show them to my friend on our TV with the AV ability. it gave me the circle with a slash thru it, why wont it let me write to my camera memory card? i could do this with my old camera.

also .... whats a good video compressor that compresses audio as well? years ago i used virtualdub and encoded in divx but not everyone has divx and the other comrpession utilities it had didnt really compress that much. is there a good somewhat-universal codec prog that also allows for audio compression?

i love that this camera has avi format vids. the zoom rocks as well. ill post some stuff asap
 
Whoa that plastic killed your thumb! :eek:

What camera do you have? And are you on Win XP or 2K?

The easy solution would be to buy a CF Card Adapter (Reader/Writer) to write files to the CF card. Or maybe there is a camera setting regarding communication protocols that lets it be detected as a Mass Storage Device that you can write to it?


As for A/V compression, Virtual Dub w/ XVID/DIVX & an audio compressor such as LAME or others should reduce filesize a lot. I usually find uncompressed Audio to take up a lot of space, so compressing it to MP3 in the AVI file helps a lot.

edit: the plastic didnt cut me .... my right hand slipped while holding a serated(sp?) edge knife and stabbed into my left hand. it was almost like fishing .... thers a nice groovy non-linear cave in my left thumb now ;)
