Structure of folders and files on the storage media

The folder and file structure for the memory card is as follows:

Do not arbitrarily change or remove the folder or file name. It may not be playable.

The file naming follows DCF (Design rule for Camera File System).

Video files (H.264) 1

The SD-quality videos are named as “SDV_####.MP4” and Web videos are named as “WEB_####.MP4”. The file number automatically increases when a new video file is created. Up to 9999 files are created in one folder. A new folder is created when more than 9999th files are created.

Photo files 2

As in video files, the file number automatically increases when a new image file is created. The maximum file number allowed is the same as in video files. A new folder stores files from CAM_0001.JPG. The folder name increases in the order of 100PHOTO 101PHOTO etc. Up to 9999 files are created in one folder. A new folder is created when more than 9999th files are created.

Image format

Videos on a memory card

Images are compressed in H.264/AVC (MPEG4 part 10/Advanced Video Coding). The file extension is “.MP4”

The picture size is 720X576 (50i) or 640x480 (based on Web & Mobile resolution).

Photos on a memory card

Photo images are compressed in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. The file extension is “.JPG.”

The image size is 800x600 (VP-DX205(i)/DX2050 only) or 1152x864(VP-DX210(i) only).

When the 9999th file is created in the 999th folder (i.e. SDV_9999.MP4 is created in the 999 VIDEO folder), a new folder cannot be created anymore. Backup your files to a PC and format the storage media, and then reset file numbering from the menu.

We don’t recommend you to modify the name of a file/folder stored in the storage media using a computer. If you modify it, this camcorder may not recognise modified files.

You can use your camcorder as a mass storage device. So you can store general data in the storage media(memory card) with your camcorder.
