I put a small file on the hard drive and it is still playing with all the pauses. I guess that my next step is to try the file on a better computer and see how it plays.
Does anyone have any other ideas.
I am also thinking that I may not be operating the camera correctly. I turn the camera on with the power on button and then I press the mode button and the indicator blinks 3 times rapidly and then goes dark while it is recording. The camera manual is in such small print that I need a microscope to read it.
