Thank you for this video very simple and straight to the point it helps me a lot because I am a professional videographer and I’m always hiring people to help me fill different events unfortunately most of these guys don’t understand the difference between 8MTS file and 8 MP four file I have difficulty myself trying to convert the videos back to MP4 readable files for my editing software now I’m simply going to send them this link and we are good to go thank you once again
I think it's just a separate option to enable or disable the MP4 conversion on the fly. I went ahead and disabled it cause I prefer the higher quality XAVC S (up to 50 mbps) and record at 50 fps (the option is only available if you shoot at 25 or 30). I actually only just got this camera and I really like it, it's like the perfect middle ground of simple, yet customizable and being able to record at 1080p 50 in high bitrate is all I need. I'd have prefered if there was an option to switch regions but I guess it's too niche of a function.
thank you for this informational video, i have the same video camera however i realize that when i record long videos of 2 hours or event 45 minutes, when i export the files on my computer, the video files are precisely cut into 17 min clips one after the other which i find confusing and annoying when you want one long video. could this be a setting? i would appreciate any help i could find. thank you
I am also confused about the SD card. My camera gives a message that “the memory card does not support recording of XAVC S movies”. What is the specific name of the memory card you use? Thanks for the helpful video
XAVC S HD is a great format to film and it's in mp4, but the file size is LARGE as hell...depending if you're filming for football, baseball, etc etc like long periods of recording the file size is really large...we're talking about 50GB-100GB large. I use AVCHD and MP4 dual rec with MP4 on editing phrase then replace it with AVCHD footage to get better quality.
The .MTS file format is a business-decision DISASTER. I have a pretty new Sony camera. By default the video is saved as .MTS Here's what I found. MP4 is recognized widely. MTS is like an unwanted stepchild. IF you can find a video file converter that will even open an .MTS file, it drops the audio. THIS IS A *_WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM_* apparently. I dug into it -here's what I found: 1) Sony bought a company that developed the .MTS file format in 2006. THAT'S 18 (eighteen) YEARS AGO. And to this day, Sony cameras still produce this USELESS video file format that no file format converters or video editors recognize. 2) thank you for your video - I'm going to see if my Sony camera has this option. Rest assured, I'm never, never never EVER buying a Sony camera for video again. Apparently, Panasonic and Canon also got looped in to this .MTS file format disaster, and I'm never buying any of their gear either for video. If the video recording device FAILS to save in MP4, do not buy it. XplainD's video here may be a solution. I'm now looking for a video recording device that records, by default, in MP4. NOTE: the popular VLC media player will playback .MTS video. It also has a converter to MP4. But again, there is no audio if you convert an .MTS file to .MP4 in VLC. THANKS XplainD! .
Windows is notorious at hiding downloads. I would first look in the "Download" folder. Failing that, I would search my hard drive for *.mp4 You should find them then

Thank you for this

@@XplainD Just a trick I taught myself :) you're welcome!
@@PWezuProductions I didn't get the trick please explain it
@@Newyorkcitycricket Eh, I use a different method now since the files were huge. I take AVCHD footage by exporting it from Quicktime
@@PWezuProductions is that better quality ?
thank .saw your video just now .

Great video
You are a kind person. Thank you. Do you own these?

Windows is notorious at hiding downloads. I would first look in the "Download" folder. Failing that, I would search my hard drive for *.mp4 You should find them then
I got a DCR-SX45 and haven’t find the way, help 😢

Which ia the beat setings for the save memory because i am record the footbal games and i need more memory
👍🏿
Hooray! a comment! Thank you!
Cooking Videos Using this camera link?
sure! ua-cam.com/video/xU1EWV1LHIM/v-deo.html
I believe you can convert it with the program you get for free from Sony.
Really?! What is the name of that program?
@@XplainD I forget I'm not in front of my computer but I am returning the camera because. It has horrible Quality indoors
@@TheBrettMizer Years!. What are you buying instead?
@@XplainD I do not know. I am just starting out my channel. I might stick with this instead of dishing out the extra money
@@TheBrettMizer what is your channel about?
Probably good but you keep moving it and it blurs.
I appreciate your constructive criticism. Thank you for your honesty. This will help me going forward. Have a great day.
i can’t do it on my pj200e
It uses like double the memory.
Agreed
@@XplainD I am thinking about returning the camera. It's very pixelated indoors, it really only works outside.
Use this to get 30fps
