have a JVS camcorder. uploaded the vid to my comp. saved it, but now it won’t play bc it isn’t a "vid file"
But when I go to Properties, it says it’s a "Windows Media (TM) Video File" so why won’t it play? Am I saving it the wrong way. This is the first time I have done this. Please help : )
it’s a .wmv
first we need to know what the file extension is. in windows (xp) go to "tools > folder options > view" then uncheck "hide file extensions" then go check the file & you’ll see its extension. post it here
…
wmv should play in win media players just fine. try right clicking on the file > open with > windows media player.
if it doesn’t work try the free vlc player from www.videolan.org
another possibility is it wasn’t fully transferred to your pc. try copying it again from your cam
