I was messing with settings and had the same thing happened to me with it stopping and not recording constantly. I just reset it to default and after restart I picked English again. The default settings work best for me. I have used class 4 and class 10 microSDHC successfully with camera. If your computer doesn't read the videos on the memory card just plug camera into tv and or monitor with hdmi to verify that it is being recorded. I view and import videos with adapter card inserted into front of computer and realplayer program.

I have a JVC mg555, and I just changed a vid file ext to .mpg.WMM imports it, but is not reading the video part only audio. Weird. I am still working on it.

Does the recorded video transfer onto the computer in one file? I have a spy camera that breaks the video into 7 minute files. I need something (does not need to be a spy camera) that has a time stamp and keeps the recording in one continuous file. Will this camera do this? If it doesn't any suggestions on another camera to consider?

I've been wondering the same thing. When i try to import videos from the camera to windows movie maker it says they are in the wrong format.

What do you mean? It has a sad card so if your computer has a slot it will read the data from the card. Movies are created in mp4 format. I had an issues using this format with moviemaker software on windows 7 . Have not tried it on windows8

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj

The editing software from Sony does not have the capability to create time laps video. You will have to use a competitors video editing software.

Thanks for the reply.Yes, as I know of now, each clip can NOT contain more than 99 chapters. Now, even if I join all of my 130 clips(meaning I get ONE clip) still, I can't write into one DVD (MovieFactory 5.6 doesn't allow this). So, I have to have a clip of max 99. Again, I am not sure how to merge the chapters recorded in my camcorder. May be there can some option while doing recording ??

It was a long time ago that my unit broke but as I recall you can NOT edit video with it. Do you have a computer? That would be better for editing. I recommend that you look at other options. :-)

I'll check it out, I've been trying to use Windows Movie Maker, not as bad as I thought, but looking for better, thanks, Woody

From the other answers, my understanding is that this does NOT allow the use of a program guide (like many others) to record things in the next couple weeks or as a series. I rarely want to set a recording within 6 hours of the actual time. It sounds like most of my recordings would need to be set by time slot and channel like an old VCR. Is this right?

When you hit record the first time, it goes into flashing pause mode. Then you hit record again and it records. After that it stays recording until you hit stop. That's not a defective, that just shows you certain settings on the screen before you hit record the second time. Mine has been working great.

B. Pinker's info worked for me to view video (after some trial and error with numbers in device names) but I was unable to record successfully from VLC. I tried Convert option under Capture Device and also the toolbar record button. My computer may be too slow. I had success with ffmpeg on command line:ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i hw:2:0 -target ntsc-dvd ouptutfile.mpg

Hi, Karl hear. All I can say is... when I do a time lapse clip, I end up, 'most of the time' - reducing it: TWICE -to get the effect I want, with: Video Studio Ultimate X6 ... which does slo-mo too...

Thank you but I don't have a problem with my new camcorder, the problem is the DVM60 tapes which go with an older camcorder that won't power up.
