Video Problems. Q 500

[Wigs]

I've done a little more research and found that the problem I was having was due to the Windows Media Player and so far not with the camera. I have only tested it indoors. In the post above, Eagle's Eye suggested a new media player. I think I'm going to do this and give it a shot. The problem seems to be with the resolution. I am able to see the video in the lowest Res settings but not in the higher ones. I can do my editing in Photoshop and it's player but was unable to watch it with my present Windows player. I'm sure that there are upgrades to this player and I just haven't got around to upgrading it.. So there you have it. From reading above, I think some might benefit from what I have found, but others might be experiencing different issues. Please keep this thread going until we have a handle on the problem. Thanks.

mp3 is audio... mp4 is video.

try something other than the standard windows media player, such as MPC-HC

Home · MPC-HC

or VLC

VideoLAN - Download official VLC media player for Windows

Got the player and it works great on all file. Thanks!

hey guys, I just recorded flight video approximately 4 minutes worth. When I take the SD card and open on my laptop.
It shows an MP4 format. When I play the video I get no pictures. Perhaps it is the wrong format for my player?

I downloaded VLC media Player and it works fine.

VLC Player is the all in one player for most video formats and will allow you to capture snapshots from your videos. Plus, it's free
