is there a way to shorten videos on your digital camera?

Posted on Dec 30, 2009 under Digital news and reports |

okay i know u can use windows movie maker to shorten videos, and i do know how to use that, but here’s my problem. i have all these videos on my digital camera and not much space left to record more. a lot of the videos have boring parts that i usually skip over when i’m watching them, so they’re jus taking up memory on my camera, but i don’t want to downright delete any of the videos jus to create more space, cuz they have their good parts too that i’d like to be able to jus pick up my camera and watch. so i tried using windows movie maker to split up the videos, delete the boring parts, put it all together into one video, and then "publish" the shortened video to my computer in avi format (apparently the format my camera uses). that all worked fine, but when i tried dragging it over to my digital camera it said the file was too big. first of all, how would it be too big if it’s shorter than the original (i didn’t use any transitions or special effects or anything, jus split videos), and second, does anyone know if there is even a way i could just delete parts of a video without making the file any bigger than it already is so i could transfer the shortened version back to my camera, delete the longer version and have MORE room for new videos? thanks for your help! :)

    There is a way but you need a camera remover. It shortens vids that you can only see the interesting parts. you can get it at frys/best buy/any store like that

    You know…its kinda kool to know somebody has my name(srry if that was kinda stalkerish to u lol)

  3. You have two issues going on here, and no good solution to either.

    The main point is that you camera is not designed to store your pictures/videos forever. Nor is it designed to be a media player. The camera is very picky about placement of files, and will refuse to even see anything it doesn’t like. Very few camera will show edited videos. Not a thing you can do about it.

    You could add more memory cards, which would be the cheapest way to get more room. Cards are cheap, unless you need Smartmedia or XD. Even memory stick prices have come down.

  4. If you format the card, all the files will be null.

    p.s. It erases everything.
