Video computer/Problems

[Beaudee]

Bud has my Ennis video from Sony camera but we cant get it to play/e-mail.Only works when you put disk in computer and play it.Anyone know a program to run to get it to play orsomething we can do on the computer to get windows media player to work.

[ZeusSVT]

What type file is it. Some sony's record in mpg format and some have to be converted over. Either way, see what type of file it is and let us know. If it is a different file format, a small codec off the internet might even solve the problem.

If you have a fire wire connection on your camera and on your puter, just plug em together. Windows movie maker (free) will tell you what to do from there. If you don't have windows movie maker...which you should, it came with my puter, go to Microsoft and download it...did I mention it's free?:D

:tu: :tu:True true, use this and it works great and is user friendly for people not familiar with video editing. If it's not on your menus, which it is not when default XP settings are applied. Just do a search for Window movie maker, it comes with all editions. Hope we have helped out.

unfortunately the BUP file is NOT what you want

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BUP


BUP (Back UP) is the filename extension (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename_extension) of some files stored on video DVDs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD).
The BUP file (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File) is a backup of the IFO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFO) file on a DVD, which contains the information about the organization of tracks, menus, chapters, subtitles on the disc. The BUP files are used in the event that the corresponding IFO file is unreadable, perhaps due to a scratch on the surface of the disc.

[Beaudee]

The disk is not scratched.Its one of them little ones that was in the camera.It plays on my computer fine but none of the movie/computer programs will let me save it or e-mail it.:tex

[Silver_2000]

make sure you have view all files selected on your PC

go to my computer and see how much data is on the disk

the file you sent was too small to be a video

[Beaudee]

When i put the disk in i opened the folder,i can e-mail you the contents but it was taking forever when i emailed em to myself.I never let it finish wasnt sure what was taking so long.Will this do any good?The video is only 5 min. long.

[Beaudee]

The camera is a disk camera,not a digital.This disk has smoked every computer guru i know.It plays on the computer but thats it.Make sure you buy a digital if you buy a camera.:stupidc:gatling:

Yes the disc cameras can be tricky if not tech savy on how to transfer them the easy way. Try to do what doug was saying about showing all files and maybe this option will work for you. Make sure your computer is displaying all files, even the hidden ones. It is under Tools, Folder Options, and then click on the "VIEW" tab. There is an option in there to show hidden files, and also a selection to unhide system protected files. Make sure both of those are chosen so that you are able to look at ALL the files. After that, with some luck, maybe you can spot the video file out of all the files that are on the disc. Try showing thumbnails as well to see if the video file appears out of any of them, if your not sure of the formats that the camera outputs in.

Hope this helps. :stupidc

I can create an FTP account for you you can ftp the contents of the disk to the server - a video will take a long time - let me know if you want to try

I just saw the answer to my question.

Movie Maker didnt recognize the file the way it was sent,and i didnt see an option to start a new project from a cd from movie maker which i have.:texIts one of them little cds and i only have the cd not the camera.Only option i saw was for a 3 1/2 floppy.Ill work on it later.

Put the Toyota cd into your computer. Open up Windows Movie Maker. Click on file. Scroll down to "IMPORT INTO COLLECTIONS". Click that. Then a window will open up that will allow you to go to the CD, which should be in your "D" drive. You should see the video there. Select it and and click import. It will do some funky sh!t and you will then be able to save it out of Windows movie maker. It will now be a WMV file.

[Silver_2000]

[Beaudee]

That sucks. Weird deal for sure. It sure seems like if it could be played, it could be recorded. It isn't copyright protected is it. I noticed my DVD recorder gives me an option to protect the disk...I always choose no. Maybe your bud chose yes...:tex.

[Silver_2000]

the disk has a 400+ mb vob file which is the DVD video file

Movie maker wont read that - Im not sure his PC has DVD drive


A VOB file (Video Object) is a container format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_format_%28digital%29) contained in DVD-Video (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video) media. It contains the actual Video (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video), Audio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound), Subtitle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtitle_%28captioning%29) (VobSubs (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=VobSubs&action=edit)) and Menu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu) contents in stream form.
VOB files are encoded very much like standard MPEG-2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-2) files. If the extension is changed from .vob to .mpg or .mpeg, the file is still readable and continues to hold all information, although most MPEG-2-capable players don't support subtitle tracks.


try that

copy it to your PC and then change the extension

I deleted the bup files and compessed zipped the others,video plays by clicking on IFO files. Tried to email em,computer said not enough memory.My comp. is 256.I work on it again later.Next time i go fishin,buds camera is going swimming.

[Silver_2000]

you CANT email a 400 mb file most emails stop at 10 mb

you are trying to send a file 2x the size of all the ram you have on your PC
