May 16, 20205 yr Hey Guys, so i filmed a bunch of videos for an assessment and it's due tonight! The issue is, the video's are not showing up on my sd card when i plug it in either directly into the laptop or through the camera. The videos, however do show up on the camera? Why is this happening and how do i fix it?

May 16, 20205 yr You have to locate the correct subfolder and files depending on the used video format. If you used MP4 all videos might be inside just one file.

May 16, 20205 yr Look for big files in subfolders to locate them. Did you check by playing back on the camera that the videos are actually on the card?

May 22, 20223 yr I figured it out.. really annoying. So above peopled mentioned its in Private\AVCHD which is correct but AVCHD is not a folder. it looks like its own file that opens with quicktime player. when you double click the file, it will open quicktime player with all of your footage.
May 23, 20223 yr It IS a folder, kind of. It's called a PACKAGE. Control+Click, right click, whatever click to get inside. For AVCHD you'll need to do this a few times. AVCHD then yields > BMVD then yields > STREAM folder which contains video. (This will help anyone finding a mega huge file (likely a package) without a clue as to why it's so big, what's inside, and how do I get to the goods.)
March 26, 20232 yr I just ran into the same issue - videos were playing on the camera but didn't show when I inserted the SD card into my computer. I had to switch the "media select" on the camera from Internal Memory to SD Card. Menu > Setup > Media Select Small user error, but very frustrating indeed.
March 27, 20232 yr So what camera are you using? Videos are stored in the Private folder, but depending on how you set up your camera, in a two-SD card camera, they are sometimes stored on the second SD card. Without more info, can't help you.

You are responding to a thread over 2 years old. I think the OP has solved their problem, or given up, by now.
March 28, 20232 yr Oh dear! I should note the date! Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully, this forum will have more traffic now that DPreview is being taken down by Amazon.

March 29, 20232 yr After shooting Olympus for several years, I was perplexed by the way Sony hides the video files. There must be a reason why they don't mix them in with images... but I admit as one who rarely takes video I have managed to format my card, then slapped my forehead as I remembered the videos I had captured. 😀
April 24, 20241 yr PRIVATE\M4ROOT\CLIP I had the same issue Couldnt find the videos even thought it played on the camera found them all in here
February 24Feb 24 The default file format setting of AVCHD turned out to be the problem for me. Change it to MP4 in the File Format setting on the first menu panel. The video files will save normally into the MP_ROOT folder in MP4 format, which, unlike AVCHD, is a video format I've heard of...
