I am trying to record a short video on my camera to send to my nephew. I can record it but can find no instructions for getting it into my computer. Has anyone done this and how did you do it?
Jim,
Is there not an :SD card" in your camera??. Just place that into a card reader and and copy/import the file to Picasa or any other photo management program from which you can then e-mail,

PS: Or connect directly camera to computer via the cable that came with the camera
Jim, I have a WP… and agree with Marcos suggestions.

Thanks guys. The USB cord only downloads the still pictures but my brother has a card reader i can borrow.
Jim,
Unless you own a very old computer, there is usually a built in card readed. I bought a reader and then looked closer at my laptop and sure as heck…

I have the same problem, no worrys with geting pics off but can’t work out how to get the video clips on to a computer. Not sure about an sd card reader being any better, my buddy works in video and tv editing and could not get the movie off even on his pro suite. I can plug the camera in to my TV and view it on that, but not on a computer.
Funny how the camera has instructions for everything except how to download a video clip.
All the best.

I was able to download the video by using the card reader in my copier/scanner. That put the video in a file in my pictures. I then had to download the Quicktime player from Apple to play the video.
Try VLC to view videos.
I have a card reader, and I can snag videos just fine. If the baby lets me, I’ll try and plug in the camera and see if I can download the video via camera plugged in tonight.

I got the video off the camera and into my computer. I then found that the file was too big to E-mail. If anyone else tries do this I found that I could put the video on photobucket and send my brother a link to it. I hope that he can download it from there and include it in the larger video for my nephews birthday.
Windows uploads the videos just fine into the windows photo library. You have to access them just by clicking on them. You can edit them in Window Live Movie Maker.
