    Hi there,

    I just got a Panasonic Lumix LX5 and I'm really happy with the quality of the pics. The only problem I have is I can't get the videos out of the memory card. I tried with my card reader, and wouldn't even read the card at all. So I tried with the cable directly from the camera. I could then get the pics out ok, but the videos were no where to be seen... I'm not a great techy :o, could anyone give a few tips as to how to do it?

    Thanks a mill!!

    Eva

    Welcome to the forum.

    Can you play the videos on the camera?

    You may need to install a program to read the type of video file that your camera has. Check your camera software disc.
    "That brings us to movie editing. The Lumix DMC-LX5 records 720p video in two formats: AVCHD Lite and Motion JPEG (M-JPEG). The former looks great when you plug your camera into your HDTV, but it's a pain to edit on your PC. Heck, just finding the MTS files on your memory card isn't easy (here's a hint: /PRIVATE/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/). AVCHD Lite also allows for unlimited recording time (outside of Europe) and higher frame rates (sort of) than M-JPEG. Motion JPEG files have limited recording times and huge file sizes, but they're easier to edit and share on your PC."
