Digital video problems
I've got a Samsung X105l camcorder, records direct to memory stick, no moving parts, has a bullet cam - brilliant for on car footage BUT it
requires a special codec to be able to play back under Windows, it's a SEDG or Miniket codec available only from Samsung. I obviously have this
on my computer & playback is great, however if I want to edit the video, or post it on Youtube or similar no-one's going to be able to see
it unless they have the right codec (I think Youtube vid has to be in a certain format anyway?). Now, I did have a Divx converter which worked when I
first got the cam, but that's now had several routine updates & no longer recognises the files to convert (says invalid file format) &
I'm not going to roll my computer back by 3 months just to get the Divx converter running again.
I've Googled the problem & came up with this http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/forum/viewtopic.36.html, but I don't fully
understandwhat they are talking about - things like "hex editor" & something about 4 C's???
Could anyone on here give me any ideas or suggest anything else to try (other than ebay it & buy something else like 4Kam!), I've tried the
"Stoick video converter" but it doesn't recognise the files, I get audio but no video
Any help greatly appreciated, after all you all want to see our "Run in the Sun" from earlier this week don't you?

Don't change the 4Cs! It'll confuse some media players.... It'll just tell them that the compression algorythym is something it
isn't!!!
Try loading it into Virtualdub then recompress it with a different compression algorythym like Windows AVI or DivX algorythm.
Easy peasy 
Enjoy!
