movie player can't find movies...?

[sgilley]

I'm having an extremely irritating problem on my NX80, which I also had with my NX70 before I upgraded.

Using Sony's Movie Recorder, I can record movies. They get placed into the standard place on the memory stick (which has about 55 megs free).

When I bring up Sony's Movie Player, nothing is listed on the screen. Yes, I know about the dropdown, and yes it is set to movie player format.

What I tend to believe is that some 3rd party application is causing the problem, which is incidentally, what Sony believes as well. I can only remember three memory resident applications I use, however. I use PowerRun, Fonts4NX, and Kinu-maru.

Does anyone have *any* ideas about what might be going on, and does anyone know of incompatibilities between Movie Player and any other application? Or, if all else fails, how about a different movie player? I'd pretty much accept anything that allowed me to view the movies I make on the Clie on my NX80.

Thanks,

Sean.

First of all, make sure on your mem stick you have a folder named "MQ_ROOT" if not you need to make one. Then in that folder you need a folder called "100MQV01" All your movies should go into this folder and if they are not then you need to put them in. Also, you might want to try Zlauncher, it is free for 30m days and then only cost around $10.00 even after the 30 days you can still use it without purchasing. This will take the place of powerrun(I use to use this app also) and will make everything on you clie so much better. I would at least give it a try. www.zztechs.com

Hope this helps.:)

Thanks khakiman, you jogged my memory enough to try something, and it worked. It turned out that my movie files were going to "\mq_root\100mqv01". Note the case of the characters. When I changed the directory names to "MQ_ROOT" and "100MQV01", it worked.

Now, I think there's an app problem when the Movie Recorder will write to the path with the lower case names, but the Movie Player can't see them, but I'll take that up with Sony.

Thanks,

Sean.
