This is one fantastic camera but the video has proven to be a pain, and I have looked forever to find a way to deal with it. First, the default is 1080p at 30 f/s. Do not use this! It looks sad when converted, since movies can get away with this frame rate, but not videos. Go down a notch to 720p at 60 f/s.
The camera uses a super-compressed x264 thing that is difficult to play on anything low-powered. I followed the instructions here, and converted to avi. Then I use avidemux for trimming and still extraction. It is good to have 6 processors humming away to convert these things!
Update: the bit rate from the camera is a ridiculous 50,000k! You can't play it on your average set-top. Go to 5-10,000 k.
