Aiptek Prominence Control and Customer Service Missing in ActionI was in reality looking forward to putting this inexpensive camcorder to work, but unfortunately we never even got to the starting line. After tentative the contents of the package I discovered that the battery charger cradle has a complete power plug but the wall charger supplied has a mini-usb. Hmmm? Can you say equitable peg in a round hole? OK, no big deal...I will call Aiptek in California and have them send the correct go bust enclose charger, or battery cradle. Boy was I naive. After spending 20 minutes on the phone disquieting to convince the customer service rep that I was really not interested in trying to pirate an extra cable for my camcorder I was informed that they would not send a replacement until I returned (at my expense) the specious cable. I then asked to speak to a supervisor. 10 minutes later and the rep came back on the phone and said that since I had purchased from Amazon I would have to take the topic up with them. Fine. Amazon returns, I learned, are painless. I returned this portion of junk and ordered a real camcorder from a real manufacturer (Canon). Retain yourself from Aiptek. They obviously have no control over the Chinese contract manufacturer who is building this waste for them. Five stars for Amazon though, who continue to impress me with first class service.
The result I've recieved
Did not end up with a USB Cable to connect the camera to the PC, or TV, Couldn't find a place to contact you so I intelligence I'd try this.
Any ideas or help?
Aipek .asf video playing on computer
There are several ways to on the .asf video files on the computer. First, media player in my windows vista does not stage play these files. It keeps saying there is an audio codec missing. I have the VLC performer and it does play these files. I just went into the default programs neighbourhood to associate .asf files with the vlc player instead of media player. You can also mutate the file name from .asf to .asx, I tried that and media player did play the .asx file. Also you can transform the file from .asf to something that media player does play such as .avi files. The camera software disc that came with the camera has a film converter or you can use any other converter. I really like this camera, espesially it's genius to record off the tv or dvd player. In fact I was looking for a low priced camera to put in my shirt take while recording off my night vision device and I found it. My Canon TX1 does not have a video input,only achievement.
For a song, poor quality, broken video files
The video is in Queer Street quality. The build quality is EXTREMELY poor, the charger for the mobile that is supplied is finicky (the battery has to be seated 'just right' in orderly for it to charge at all) and when using the A/V in it often creates broken files that cannot be played back at all.
Characteristic Control Issues
I purchased this three years ago when it first came out - including all the extras, freestyle etc...unfortunately, the quality is simply not there. Image is fuzzy, shakes very likely and although convenient - the pictures and images left a lot to be desired. However, the biggest enigma was the batteries - every one of them died quickly after just a few charges none would hold a suffuse. Basically, an inferior piece of junk that had a lot of potential. BTW, I didn't in every respect have high expectations - just wanted something to leave in the purse or throw around for those spur of the moment situations. Didn't even fit the bill for that.
