There are several ways to play the .asf video files on the computer. First, media player in my windows vista does not play these files. It keeps saying there is an audio codec missing. from Amazon.com It is a triple wire connector Video out, Sound out and USB to camera. The port is smaller than a Mini USB 'B', so I'm not sure if it proprietary or some obscure standard. My laptop doesn't have a built-in SD card reader, so it has become a seriously inconvenient to transfer files. Only replacement I could find is at Aiptek.com I'm going to look at Creative Vado or a Kodak brand budget camcorder next. from Amazon.com Model number: MPVR Hardware resolution: 2848 x 2136 (6MP); 2048 x 1536 (3MP) 1280 x 960 (1MP) Sensor effective resolution: 2048 x 1536 (3MP) from Amazon.com I am a teacher and bought this camera for my classroom. Almost on cue, all four of my cameras stopped working at month 3. I sent them back and Aiptek was nice enough to replace them, but again, on cue, the cameras all stopped working after 3 months. As well, the quality of the photos is not good enough for us to use in our high-quality yearbook because they are slightly blurry. from Amazon.com IF you can manage to get one that works out of the packaging this is not a bad little camera. I take it hiking; kayaking etc. Target has a very laid back return policy...so I had no problem(hassle though it is!)returning this camera till I got one that did not have some kind of glich in function. I go by there often; I liked the idea of the camera so I figured I would try to get a working one! from Amazon.com Lets face it this camera is a piece of junk. Obviously I wouldn't expect this camera to give me high quality recordings, but it would be nice to be able to see what you record. If you try to record in anything other than very sunny and bright conditions, the recording doesn't look very good, and often times it is very grainy. from Amazon.com Aiptek MPVR 8MP MPEG4 Digital Camcorder with 4x Digital ZoomGREAT, THIS IS A BRILLIANT CAMCORDER, THAT CAN BE USED BY REMOTE CONTROL,IT'S LIGHT EASY TO CARRY. from Amazon.com I ordered one for him, and now he and his wife are enjoying it. (Their's is silver and came in the manufacturer's box as well.) There are three more people that I know of who will be ordering this camera...maybe Aiptek and/or Amazon should give me a sales commission!!!! from Amazon.com I bought this camcorder strictly for video but wasn't expecting stellar results, just because of the low price. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that not only is the video great, it takes excellent still photos as well. from Amazon.com It's not a pro-quality camera/camcorder. But it's pretty good. I was cautious about buying this Aiptek at first because of some of the reviews that I had read and video reviews that I have watched. But I ordered it, and for what I want it for (mostly sending video and posting video online) it seems to be just the thing. from Amazon.com
