Finally, the aspect ratio setting in a MOD file may not be correct for WideScreen format. Quicktime on the Mac had no problem playing the file, although you may need to download the MPEG-2 Playback Component. This will confuse some Windows programs which expect the audio in a separate file, so use Media Player Classic. I just record and dump to the hard drive and edit with Final Cut.Ī MOD file (not to be confused with the music format file) is just an mpeg2 file with audio included. The short answer is, toss the MOI files - assuming you are not using the on-camera editing features. I use Final Cut on the Mac, not iMovie, so my first concern was, What is a MOD file and an MOI file? That is what you're left with after you copy your card.
#Canon fs100 video camera manual#
If you wish to mess with iMovie and other specialized software, then I suppose you'll have to keep your file structure proper and follow the manual more closely.
then, after I dismount the USB drive, how do I unplug the camera :) The manual gives a clue to disconnect the USB first, then power off.īy the way, it's just much, much less hassle to purchase an SDHC/MMC card reader and copy the folders off. Then, the camera warned NOT to change modes, or disconnect the USB cable, or disconnect the power. I did that, too and simply copied them to the local hard drive (more on that in a minute). The manual warns not to access the folders directly. Once I did that the camera came right up as a disk drive.
I connected Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder to my MAC running OS-X 10.4 and a warning came on the screen to plug in the AC adapter. There's a cute warning attached to the USB cable which warns NOT to connect Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder without first installing the drivers. My suggestion is to ignore most of the instructions which Canon provides and keep the software CD's in the box. The camera will do 9 mb/s, but I don't recommend Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder if your final format is DVD since some players will have problems keeping up. By contrast, a 4gig SDHC card in this camera can store an hour and 20 minutes at 6 mb/s. To transfer video from a DV recorder takes a lot of patience, gigabytes of storage, and hours of work. But, this flash camcorder caught my eye since the price of SD cards has become amazingly inexpensive.

I've been looking to update my old Sony Digital8 camcorder and have been looking primarily at Mini-DV.
