Camera shuts down

Ulead Video Studio works well for me. I use it to edit short videos for online training at work. Easy to use and cheeep.
YMMV

Since I didn't see the answer to the original question:

Camera's with a hard drive usually have a drop sensor. This drop sensor is activated in flight due to g-force differences (I have a Sony that showed the same problem). In my Sony I have the option to turn off the drop sensor. Your camera may have the same option (at your own risk!). When I turned mine off, the results were better, but still not great.

Solid state camera's (in whatever form) are better. Check out the GoPro HD.

Can you cut pieces out of the film clip with Ulead...? what I have now I can only edit from either end of the clip which is not always what want to do....

Arjan... I could not shut off the sensor on that camera so bought a FS20 which seems to work just fine..... Had I known about the quirkiness of the hard drive would not have purchased it....live and learn the hard way

Hello,

You will find almost every Hard Drive based camcorder is going to shut down with just a little vibration. They actually have a drop sensor inside that gets falsely triggered and shuts them down prematurely to save the write head when you drop the camera.

Try another camcorder, but finding one that supports analog A/V in is going to be tricky, which eliminates the ability to use remote lenses outside the plane.

If you want to get serious about on-board video, you can certainly check out the advanced systems that we offer:

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.....we've been doing this for years!

I tried the sony with a duo pro memory stick as the selected media and it worked fine. Wish it had a remote mic jack. If I had it to do over I would not have bought the Sony.

Chris.... Mine has the remote audio mic input and seems to work OK, except for a slight squeal (not sure what that is, could be alternator noise)...... I have it plugged in the the mic jack but have read/seen that guys have it come off of the headphone jack.....??
