So, here's the issue;
the only 'working' camera in my house is my GE W1000, and I need to record video I can download to my computer for an upcoming event.
However, here's the issue;
whenever I attempt to download a video I've recorded, once it saves on my computer, the file os audio-only, despite being marked as a .MOV file.
I have no idea how to fix this, and I would really like to have this answered as soon as possible. Thank-you!!
Answer
My research shows that the GE W1000 does shoot video.
Quick Time Motion JPEG, Audio: G.711 [Monaural]
Movie Recording - 640x480pixels: 20fps/15fps, 320x240pixels: 20fps/15fps
Max. Recording Resolution - 640 x 480
As you can see, NONE of the video recording resolutions are standard (30 fps for NTSC video) and there is NO HD video option
Your statement "... upcoming event .." makes me think that your shooting video of the event is important. Frankly you do not have the correct tools to do that
If you plan to shoot video of events in the future, think about buying an actual video camera or at least a P&S camera made by a reputable camera company, like Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Sony, Olympus, etc. GE is NOT known as a camera maker, but rather for making excellent kitchen appliances and jet engines

Why does the audio keep breaking when I record a video on my camera?

I have just bought a Casio Exilim EX-H5. When I take a video on the camera, the sound keeps disappearing every couple of seconds.
I thought that this was probably happening because I was filming an HD movie on a normal SD memory card, however, this also happens when I record a standard movie.
Do you know why this is happening? Or is it neccessary for me to use an SDHC memory card even for recording movies which are not high definition?
Answer
Hi Fateha:
Unfortunately, most still cameras shooting video are a compromise to start with. Examining the Casio official page for the EX-H5, it even lists "SDHC" as the spec for this model, so the bigger & faster the card, the better. Also, regular SD cards are typically formatted in FAT-16, whereas SDHC cards typically use FAT-32 due to the larger memory size. Make sure you have used that CAMERA and not a PC or another device to format the card with. (Try saving all your old pictures/videos onto a computer, then erase & re-format in your Casio.)
Test your camera with the video set to "LP: 320 x 240". This only records at 15 frames-per-second. The HD (720p @ 24fps) and "Standard" (480i @ 30fps) both require a higher # of pictures-per-second, not just higher resolution. If your sound records normally at the LP setting, then you know it's your SD Card.
Also, it's not only just SDHC (High Capacity) that is the issue, it is also speed rating of the card (a/k/a Class #). Some cheap SD Class 4 and Class 6 cards can't even handle video well. If you can afford Class 10, try that with your HD setting. If you still have problems, return your camera.
See the excellent section on SD card Class/Speed ratings at Wikipedia's SD Card article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card#Speed_Class_Rating
Stick with the major SDHC brands such as SanDisk, Panasonic, Lexar, and Toshiba (all of which Nikon tests & approves for their high-end cameras). Beware of cheap internet "counterfeit" SD Cards that are intentionally mis-labeled as high-speed, but are not.
hope this helps,
