I desperately need help. I have a SANYO camera that I use to take videos. It's not a video camera. It's a picture camera that does take videos as well.Anyway, when I'm finished taking the video, I put the SD card that was in the camera into the card reader. The card reader was made by Targus, if that helps. Anyway, if I bring up My Computer and look into the drive and try to watch the video, it's full of lots of colors. There's no distinct images or anything. Just a lot of red, green, blue, purple, orange, etc. Like static. The audio work fine, though. I use my videos so I can edit them with Adobe After Effects. But when I put it into Ae (After Effects), it only shows the first frame, as if I had frozen it.But-- I recently download QuickTime player. If I open the video in QuickTime, it works fine. Before I downloaded QuickTime, I could watch the movie. Please help. It's very important.Info:Operating System: Windows Vista Home Basic
Firstly, this is NOT a problem with the SD card or reader. They are digital devices, as long as the device shows up in Computer and you can see the files, then the card and the reader are fine. The problem sounds more like a codec issue. A codec is used to decode and playback the movie. It sounds like Quicktime has taken over and installed a codec for that type of movie your camera captures. You just need to re-install the software that came with the camera, or un-install Quicktime. Quicktime is an obnoxious program, it infiltrates your system and attempts to be the single point of all media playback. Its intrusive and sometimes hard to get uninstalled. Its only advantage is, there are a few Apple videos that are Quicktime format that won't play in anything else. Other than that, there is no real need to have Quicktime installed. Unless you have a Mac, that is, and then its installed by default, I believe.
have you ever checked to ensure in the journey that your pictures have honestly been MOVEd onto your new I-Mac ? it could be that the sequence in which you coupled the cardboard reader to the MAC and the sequence in which you placed the SD card into the reader could have tripped a pre-set education set meaning that the MAC became programmed to flow / replica / delete the records on the exterior source (i.e. the cardboard reader). in case you have deleted the pictures from the SD card do not use it till you have tried between the innovations restoration classes that have been pronounced via others.
The sd card probably wasnt made to run on vista, you might need to get one that does
