Hoyt03 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 My trail cam takes the 10 second video clips, but how in the heck do you play them? Everything gets stored on an sd card do I have to upload them into a media player or something? Appreciate the help. By the way its alot easier getting pictures when you throw a little food down for them. I had trouble getting 20 pictures on trails all year long, got 200 in the last week with a little food. Why didnt you tell me earlier haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytman26 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Playing video clips from trail cam? I went to radio shack and got an SD card player. It plugs into the usb connection on the front of my computer. If there are any videos on my sd card it automatically plays them in real player. The sd player is like 10 bucks or so. When you plug your card player into your computer. Go to start, my computer, then double click onto the local E. drive. It should open a folder where the videos are stored. Then just double click the video you want to play and it will play in real player or media player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Playing video clips from trail cam? You have to have a card reader to view the pics on your computer, either that or pull your camera each time and transfer the pics from the camera to the computer.

You need to see what software you have for viewing video clips. Got several on my computer. Usually my video from memory sticks will open in windows media player.

wtnhunt Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Playing video clips from trail cam? have you tried reformatting the smaller card recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Playing video clips from trail cam? This was a new card first time being used. Do you think there is something that can be done to make it work? It works fine in my regular digital camera just not my trail camera, but the 1 gig does fine.

[/ QUOTE ] Guess that would depend on your camera and the instructions it provides. Quite simple with the leaf river to re format a card.
