I am not sure but I believe that YouTube needs a .flv format..so here goes. First..The Drag and Drop feature didn't work when I tried it. You have to go to drop file here box. Right click..add multimedia files and browse to the file you want to convert. Once you have the file selected it appears in the window with a check mark beside it. Next...going to the top of the screen you see 1. select the Output Container... here you choose the type of extension you want the file to be. The most common are .avi and .mpg but in this instance we are selecting swf or flv (flash) . Once you select this the 2. Output video codec will set itself to Flash Video and the 3. Output audio codec should set itself to mp3. If they don't' set them manually. Now select Direct Show Decode and click Encode at the bottom of the screen. When it gets done creating the file you should find it in the c:/programfiles/eRightSoft/SUPER/OutPut folder. Good Luck and Hope this works for you.

The Insignia NS-DCC5HB09 is a nice little starter camcorder and it is under that price range. To find out more about it follow this link:http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...

or stop by your nearest BestBuy and take a look at one.

You should be able to do in camera editing...but this might only work on -RW disks. Check in you owners manual for Editing and Erasing Footage. If you don't have the manual you should be able to download a PDF version from the Canon site here: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/c...

If you can see the photos on the camera then they should still be good. If you are using a card reader connected to the computer by USB there might be a problem with the reader and/or cable. Try connecting by using the camera directly with the supplied cable. And the reverse might be true...if you only have this problem when connecting using the camera...put the memory card in the card reader or printer (if it has a card slot). Another possibility is that the photos were stored on the internal memory of the camera (if it has internal memory) and not the removable media. If this is the case...there should be a copy to memory setting in the menu area some where. Note: If this is a MiniDV Camcorder and not a Digital Camera and you used the Photo button on top of the camcorder then the photos may have been recorded to the tape and not the memory.
I have had success in using file recovery programs on memory cards to recover photos, but until you know what is going on I suggest you don't use that memory card to minimize file lose. If you saw on the counter that the camera was counting pictures and you could scroll through them then the memory didn't need formated. The camera should have informed you in some way before the first photo was taken if it needed to format the card. If none of the above suggestions bring the photos up you can take the camera and the memory card to the Geek Squad and have them check it out...they really are pretty good.
