Hiya,
I've known of .mpg files being spat out, and some only after installing
some third party software that converts the camera's format.
Some cameras will only mount with that third party software, others play
nice and mount as an additional drive.
Some brands even differ in their output format depending on the camera
media: HD, miniDVD, cards or whatever. I suppose the media might
influence the output format due to compression versus storage speed.
Cheers,
Luis.

I am working on a Rev project which manipulates video from a digital
camcorder. I am testing with one brand of camcorder, but would like to
know if my assumptions hold true for most modern digital camcorders.
1. Do most store their video in .avi format or is some other format more
prevalent?
2. When the typical camcorder is attached to a computer, is there any
fairly standard way Rev can access the video files on it automatically
through scripting without requiring the user to identify the camcorder
(presumably by specifying its volume or perhaps using the answer file
command)? For example, can I use the registry to quickly identify most
camcorders without knowing the brand in advance?
3. Is most of the video on the camcorder already well compressed? If so,
is there a standard codec being used these days?
Any help with these questions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Richard Miller
