I have just bought a Canon DVD camera which produces .VRO video files which cannot be played on normal players. Have they actually created a format that must be altered before it can be played outside the camera itself or is there a solution without reformatting every file?

I asked Canon and they said they don't make software so can't help me.

Yes, I rang Canon who reminded me of tht detail.
The good news is despite being a dodgy filename I managed to play it in Power DVD but am still not sure if Youtube will take it. The clip I had was too long anyway (2 minute limit!) but will try a quick one as a test. I'd still rather have wmv or mpg and hopefully without the need to change them every time.

Well well, although it can't use more than 2 minutes I managed to get it on Youtube regardless of format!

I'm having some issues with adding videos to partially used disks but at least I can now get them online however I have to tinker about.
Hi David,
DVDs unlike CDrs cannot have any more added to them once finalised (which is why it is called finalising). This is a problem if you have only used say 2 mins on the disc and need to play it elsewhere, you've just 'wasted' the rest of the dvd.
Try using DVD-RW rather than DVD-r (+r) , so at least you can re-format and reuse the DVD for something else.
