O.K, I finally used the camcorder on my DINC yesterday and all seemed to go well until I downloaded it to my computer and tried to play it using Windows media player.
I used the MPEG 4 format to make the video because I had no idea what the other two formats were ie.(H.263 & H.264). Now when I play it using Windows media player I see the Video but there is no sound. It does however work fine (Video & Sound) using Quick Time. Verizons Media Manager will not accept the Video either which is disappointing because I want to be able to show the video on my T.V.
So my questions are:
1) What is the difference between the 3 video formats (H.263, H.264, MPEG4).
2) How can I get the Video to play with sound using Windows Media player and get it to download to Verizons Media Manager. I assume (yes I know what happens when you assume) that the problem is with the MPEG 4 format so can it be converted to a format that Windows accepts.
