Hi I just got a Panasonic HC-V720 to replace my 10 year old Canon MVX3i mini DV camcorder.
With my old Camcorder transferring my video to my PC was as easy as plugging in the firewire cable and letting windows download from the mini DV tape.
The question I have is:
What are all the files/file types that are written to the SD card and which ones do I need to download/transfer/keep, which ones do i need to leave and which can i delete from the SD card??
Some if the files i know - such as the .jpgs and .mts files but the others i don't know - here is whats on the card right now:
The card has 2 folders DCIM and PRIVATE,
The DCIM folder has 2 sub folders which contain the photos i have taken on 2 different occasions ( no problem with this)
And also 3 files BACKUP.HST, BACKUP.TMP and INDEX.DAT
The PRIATE folder contains a sub folder AVCHD which in turn contains 3 folders AVCHDTN, BDMV and PANA_EXT
The AVCHDTN folder contains 2 files THUMB.TDT and THUMB.TID
The BDVM folder contains 3 sub folders:
CLIPINF - containing 2 files 00000.CPI and 00001.CPI
PLAYLIST - containing 3 files 00000.MTS, 00001.MTS and 00000MPL
STREAM - empty folder
and 2 files INDEX.BDM and MOVIEOBJ.BDM
The PANA_EXT folder contains 3 files; BACKUP.CPI, BAK-S00.PDI and BAK-S01.PDI
Thanks,
Kev
