Page 1 of Digital camera video help

I have taken pictures & video with my digital camera. I have managed to view the video on my computer using QuickTime Player because windows media player wouldn`t play them. I have put the pics onto cd and im able to view these on my dvd player. The problem im having is getting the video onto cd, when I try to transfer the video I keep getting the message cant read video file. Is there some way of converting the video files so that I can get them onto cd and play them on my dvd player along with the pictures.

you can try using nero to make a vcd with your avi files.
if you had a dvd recorder you could just connect camera to recorder and copy it straight to disc or hard drive.
hope this helps you.

If it only plays in quicktime the files are probably MP4 or 3GP so you would need a piece of software that can convert that. The best (and initially the most confusing) place to get help is http://www.videohelp.com/.

You should be able to find guides and software for converting these files and how to make a DVD/VCD from it.

fcmcd... can you tell us the file type. Is it `MOV` or another.

sorry paul i dont know the file type ,you will have to ask Edi that question as he is the original poster and he should know the file type.

Sorry `fcmd` right question wrong person.

My son has borrowed the camera to take some pics of his house and has also got the manual. I have looked on ebuyer where I got it from and it says: Video Format QuickTime MPEG-4. Compression Type JPEG. I don`t know if this helps. The camera is a Sanyo Xacti E6. I might find more info when I get the manual back.

But when you click on the file, what is the extention type?
