Camera advice needed please - Panasonic Lumix TZ25

Hi, I have recently upgraded from the Panasonic Lumix TZ5 to the TZ25, great camera so far except for one problem - I can't seem to get the movies I've recorded off the SD card and onto my PC, can anyone help me please?
Thanks

    How are you importing them and have you got quicktime on your PC?
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • Depends what format you set the camera to record in. Panasonic can record in a very high quality format. Dig around the net for info on AVCHD.

    E.g. http://www.winxdvd.com/resource/avchd-video.htm

    If you have VLC you can watch them without converting. The easiest option is to change the camera settings to record in MP4

    On my TZ7 the HD AVCHD files are in a seperate folder to the jpeg and mjpeg files.

    Such as: G:\PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM and there are all my AVCHD files
