camera

Hello
I have a Flip camera and Win 7 x64, i5, 1T. Ciscois droping Flip and I think I know why. Their original Flipshare software has already had to be upgraded to 5.12 due to issues.
When I involve the camera with WMP 12 which I think is part of Win 7 WMP becomes corrupted in both pcs.
I run the trouble shooter and confirms this. I then uncorrupt both.
I have learned one fact that Win dvd maker won't work with Flip MP4 files.
I insert the camera , usb, and if the WMP gets involved, it becomes corrupt,.
Flip tech (except for one girl)swear there should be no issue But I have read that 64 byte needs a special codec and that others on the web are having trouble too. If I Google the hot terms, I find others with issues.
If I insert the camera, I think it loads the files. If I can create dvd within the Flipware perhaps I would not corrupt the WMP.
Either exporting to desktop or creating the dvd within the software and not involving the WMP12 would allow me to make the dvd.I think if I play the dvd the WMP would not get corrupted but don't know. I think it is only with raw files.
Perhaps there is another player out there like Quicktime thaat would work with MP4.
I can't believe I am the only one jumping through hoops to make a dvd from a camera.
Do you have any suggetions?

 

I have finally resolved my issue.
I am not using any of the software that came with the camera.
I simply plug the usb in to he pc and go to Comouter where i find the DCIM entry. i ciopy and paste it to the desktop and use Roxio to burn thedvd. once it is done, i use WMP to play the mp4 files which when raw corrupt the WMP.
Hope this helps someone with a camera issue.

 

>>I have to correct my post. I go to Computer and double click DCIM etc until I see 100 video. It is the 100 video I copy and paste. Another easy way to create a dvd you can play on your pc is to dowmnload Ashampoo as it converts and burns Flip's mp4 files to dvd.

 

>>Thank you,sir. Nice comliments come from nice people.
