Saving MP4 Clips

Using the supplied software Data Import Utility, you can save MP4 clips to a computer. Data Import Utility will also automatically join multiple MP4 clips of a single scene that were split every 4 GB because of file size limits and save them as a single video file.

For more details, refer to ‘Data Import Utility Software Guide’, a PDF file in the [\Manual\English] folder of the supplied software CD-ROM.

IMPORTANT

Before saving MP4 clips to your computer with Data Import Utility using an SD card reader or your computer’s memory card slot, do not access or manipulate the files on the SD card with other software. Failing to do so may result in not being able to save the files to your computer.
