Phil May Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Can anyone shine a light on a problem I have with this camera. It is one of the 1280x720,30fps key fob cameras, when I plug into my PC it says it does not recognise the file type, when plugged into my laptop it plays the file but it is very jerky both in picture and sound. Any ideas on this one please. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Mine records in .mov format 0 which is basically apple quick time type.If you haven't quicktime installed on your PC then the PC wont know what programme to "open" it with. VLC ( free media player ) will also handle .movs incidentally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete B Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 If it isn't one of the issues referred to above, it may be the write speed of the card, Phil. I've found I needed a Class 6 card to record on my keyfob cams without jerkiness. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Thats a good piunt Pete.... must check the class of mine. It was supplied with the cam, and seem to think its class 4.Of course, the jerkiness may just be down to the PC simply being unable to process the data...I know my old machine struggles - CPU is working at 95+ % when watching 720 HD Edited By Tim Mackey on 13/11/2011 21:57:07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil May Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks all, I've uploaded VLC and it is playing. My card is a class 4, so I will look into a 6. I'll try to piece a few bits together later to get some opinion on quality Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas on this one please. Phil VLC is a much smoother runner than windows media player as it is not heavy on resouces. also if you download and install mp4cam2avi software it will repackage the mov file as an avi with no quality loss. it will then play in almost any player. i'm using a kingston 8gb sdhc class 4 no problems. some cards are not compatible with this camera see the website link below for lots of info from developers and users. its very important to install the latest camera firmware which fixes known bugs. all info is on the site. note this post refers to 808#16 only it is not applicable to 808#11 or any other! 808#16 info http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1556994 freeware mp4cam2avi http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp4cam2avi/ Edited By foamidable on 10/04/2012 19:05:47 Edited By foamidable on 10/04/2012 19:08:21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
