Just got this camera and have 2 major problems viewing movies on TV. No problem viewing on
PC, but main reason for buying was so others can view on TV using USB stick. This camera uses the
.mov file format and my Sony Bravia 4 year old TV does not recognise this. In order to view on TV
I must first convert to .mpg file format then Ok, but to do this for every video is a real pain. I can
view using the HDMI cable I brought, but then I have to be around 3 feet from the TV to operate the
playback which is inconvenient, as there does not appear to be a remote playback facility. I have
an RC-6 remote but I cannot get this to work playback in the comfort of my couch.
Maybe the latest Tv's accept the .mov format but not the older ones and I am surprised Canon
have not allowed for this in the camera settings.
Anyway I can find a better way to solve this problem, or am I missing something.
Many thanks
