As much as I can remember, this camera I've tested is the PAL standard video that is used in Singapore. The video clip I've uploaded is the unedited, untouched and original ".MOD" file.
Youtube will auto-recognize the widescreen 'key' and readjust to fit the screen. Not sure about the NTSC standard cameras that are sold in the US as I've not tested them the same way before...
So this is the raw MOD file straight from the Camera? When I tried the same thing it squeezed the widescreen image into 4:3 and I'm running the same camera and specs.
Yup it's from the original MOD file from a PAL camera. I've found out that NTSC cameras which most YouTube users have have problems with their video fitting into full 16:9 mode, due to the missing widescreen 'key' (as I mentioned in my previous reply a few weeks ago).
Search "how to convert widescreen" on YouTube and find the solution that suits you most (there are many out there, using various programs)
Hi! I really like this camera, thanks for the demo! I've been told this camera cuts single records into multiple files with seperate audio, does this mean you can't play your videos on the pc without using the software? Also, it sounds like editting could be very difficult this way?
This is what i've read so too on camcorderinfo, but it does not seem to be the case when I view it from my recorded SD card. I guess maybe it's due to the short recording time & no editing done in-camera, thus it remains as a full .MOD file.
Another surprise is that when you rename the extension "*****.MOD" to "*****.MPG", it is able to play on most video players like Windows Media Player. Editing depends on video-editing software to be frank...
But my camera is PAL. I think Youtube must have made changes since last year.

I agree too... I'm too slow to keep up with the changes in YouTube... yup.
