I have a Canon S1IS digital camera, which takes some============================
pretty nice video (for a still camera).
I would like to be able to upload a short edited video,
which may contain stills as well as motion video from
several sources other than this camera, back to the S1IS
and play it back on the camera's display (and through the
camera's analog outputs).
The purpose of doing this is to use the camera as a handy
"demo device" by hooking it to a big-screen TV at a bar,
and playing a short (5-10 minutes) video made in Windows
Movie Maker. Failing this, I will have to buy a portable
DVD player and make DVDs of the videos.
The question is - what format does the video need to be
in, so that it can be put back onto a compactflash card
and played in the S1IS camera, and where can I download a
software utility to convert to this format? Is this
offered in some of the Canon utilities packages?
If I look at the files generated by the S1IS, they use
the generic extension .AVI. Gspot lists them as being of
the form "MJPEG" (motion jpeg?), and I've heard some
refer to the S1IS format as "MPEG-4".
thanks,

I don't know for sure about the Canon S1IS but I can tell you it does not work on the S2IS.
I'm thinking you will have to save the movie file and burn a VCD (on a CD) Or a DVD.
To play a movie on a DVD player...you
need software that can create a VCD...
(this assumes you do not have a DVD burner...then you might create a DVD)
First you would save your Movie Maker
project to a folder on your hard drive as a movie...
To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard / Choose...My Computer / Next / Enter a Name and a Save Location / Next / Next.
Wait while the movie is saved / Finish...
To save as an .avi movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard / Choose...My Computer / Next / Enter a Name and a Save Location / Next /
Show More Choices / Other Settings / Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI / Next / Wait while the movie is saved / Finish...
Next...you need to import the completed
..wmv or .avi movie file into a software program that will create a VCD. Most
DVD players will play a VCD...check
the manual for your DVD player for
compatibility. A VCD is a Video Disk created on a CD instead of a DVD.
I've had success with a program called
'InterVideo WinDVD Creator'...there are
many others...'NeroVision Express'...is
another example. The main thing is the
program must be able to create a VCD from a .wmv or .avi video file.
