| First of all, thank you for reading my topic.
This camcorder is supposed to record HD video, take pictures, etc. This it does fine. Here are the specs: http://www.insignia-products.com/pc-384-52-insignia-50mp-high-def ... creen.aspx However, I want to use this as a video playback device. On the page it states that videos are recorded in MPEG4 (H.264) in AVI wrapper. Here are what it actually records in: Resolution: 1280 x 720 or 640 x 480 Container: AVI Video: H264 Frame Rate: 30 FPS Audio: MS ADPCM Here's what it can do: Resolution: Any? Even widescreen videos work. Container: AVI only. Also name must be CLIP0001.AVI, CLIP00002.AVI, etc. sequentially Video: XVID, DIVX - when I convert to H264 myself, it won't play anything back. Frame Rate: 30 FPS only, even if you set it as 25 or 29.976, etc. it will play it back at 30 Audio: MP3 even MP2. I couldn't get MS ADPCM to work when I converted to it. Folder: [Drive Letter]:\DCIM\200MOVIE When I try putting it into H264, MS ADPCM 30 FPS video, the unit shuts down. I tried using SUPER and a bunch of other converters, taking a one minute clip and converting it to a multitude of formats. The problem is that after about 20 seconds the screen turns green in patches and wont go away. The audio works fine when converted to 30 FPS. I even checked the output videos from the camera using vlc, and gspot. They are what they say they are. I just want to be able to watch House on the go. :D If you can help in anyway, that would be great. Let me know if you need more information. | ||||

| Did you ask Insigna?
There are many ways they can prevent you from doing this. | ||||

Insignia is Best Buy's house brand. The camera could be made by anyone and I doubt Best Buy requires them to provide much support, other than a working machine. bucsboy, they sell this as a camcorder and I doubt you are going to get the video playback performance you want. | ||||

It would be logical to ask first (channeling Spock). Insignia does have a support number even if they are a virtual company. Reverse engineering is an honorable hobby and even OK with the patent office. | ||||

Amen to that. |
