Audio is AAC

I still use PD6 but I have been trying to see if I can use the camera as an HD player for edited movies. This would involve writing back the file to the SD card and using playback. Maybe its me

but I cannot find a combination of formats, codecs etc that will work using PD6, Super c or whatever. Two possibilities arise - I haven't hit on the right combination (maybe PD7 does it straight away) or the file system on the camera doesn't like written/modified files - it just doesn't see them. It does work if its own files are copied off, deleted and then written back without modification. Any thoughts, suggestions etc. gratefully received.

Hi Vn800rider,

I am not aware that PD6 can import MPEG-4, PD7 can

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your reply. PD6 doesn't seem to have any problem importing MPEG-4s and I've been able to produce some reasonably complex video. This problem is a bit more of a "hobby" just to see if I can get it to work. I have now got the camera to see a file but not play it (other than display a large yellow question mark) The manual indicates this means the image was not recorded on the camera. Maybe the camera puts some ID marker on its files? Also there seems to be a naming protocol that the camera needs. Maybe an email to Sanyo technical support might give me the answer, particularly if its in the guts of the camera rather than in the file format etc.

Thanks again.
