No worries Gaz.
Sort of had a chicken and egg thing going there for a while.
Like: What's going on with V3 not opening Y800 uncompressed DMK AVIs?-why are you using V3?-coz i like V3-but V4 is better and handles the AVI straight out of the camera-but I haven't made the switch to V4 blah blah blah.
It was all going backwards and forwards but not really addressing the original post which I thought asked a simple and direct question. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear?
I had no idea V3 couldn't work with the Y800 codec uncompressed format

Now I know.
Just one of those communication thingos
But out of curiosity, what would be the best codec to work with if (heaven forbid) I choose to continue using V3?
Or am i limiting the camera's potential by resorting to a compressed format?
Thanks guys.
