Title: DVD on camera
Post by: bat on 2006-02-16, 06:38:07 PM

hey, i had the idea to put a short DVD cartoon on a camera memory card, in AVI format, thus being able to watch it portable-ly.  I used a DVD ripper and a .vob to .ani converter, but the camera seems to not reconise the format, still.  do i need a codec of the exact .ani file the camera writes in????

its a samsung, digimax 530

I'm not sure if you actually mean .ani or if you mean .avi but just typed it wrong.  .ani files are animated cursor icons for your mouse.  I don't know of cameras that can read that.  However, if you actually meant avi (or are now going to get a converter to convert it from VOB to AVI instead) then it will have to use a codec that the camera can understand.  I couldn't find any info on what codec that particular camera uses, but MPEG is a good bet, since most cameras that create movie files directly are either MPEG or uncompressed AVI.
