some of the files are missing and i must find them first
to save them.Alsocomputer wont recognise my aiptek camera
even though a picture of it is in cameras and scanners
and on my desktop and drivers are installed corectly.

Hi Richard,

Your's is the first post that I've seen in this newsgroup about an AIPTEK
camcorder. Maybe that's why there are no responses.

From the AIPTEK website, it seems that what you are seeing is normal. The
camera takes still images and video clips. I suspect the video clips are in
MPEG2 format, which would result in issues with Movie Maker.

I added a new page to my website for the AIPTEK camcorders.
www.papajohn.org - but so far your post is the only info on it.
