Taking videos. cannot figure out how to take a video

Yes, the DMC-FZ20 can record videos in 320x240 resolution. Refer to the "Motion image mode" section on page 56 of the manual.

You cannot change an MPG to a JPG.
The only thing you might be able to do is with a video program take an image from the video.

Capturing video on Acer notebook with Crystal Eye software on Windows Vista UPDATED It seems like a lot of people are having trouble with figuring out how to capture video with their built-in webcam on their Acer laptop. There is not capture video function in the Crystal Eye software that is preinstalled with the computer. Windows movie maker 6.0 no longer have the capture video feature on Windows Vista. I’ve read a couple of ways to actually capture video, but only one way worked for me so I will post that method.
For some reason, Acer hid the capture video function and it is buried deep in the Windows directory.
Go to your root directory (C:\ drive in most case), then open up the Windows folder, scroll down to the folder “SUYIN NB Cam”, open that up and you should see the file “Live Cam”. This program can do video capture. Make a shortcut to your desktop for easy access. Open it up and play with it a little and you should be able to capture video with it.

UPDATE: Some commented on the audio not working. If you have your sound driver installed correctly, try the following: Go “Devices” and select the microphone. For me, it says “Microphone (Realtek High Definition)” and this should give you audio. If this is checked, then that means your microphone is in use and you should be able to record sound.

there should be a program build in to windows XP called Movie Maker, you can use that to record a video of your self. If movie maker is not installed you can go to microsoft's website and download it for free. Thank you.

When playing back photos, the photos and videos are stored in the order taken so when previewing using the forward and back controls (right and left on the joypad) when you come across a video press the play/ pause control (down on the joypad) to play the video.

An extra tip is to press the play/ pause control to pause the video, then follow the on-screen instructions (I don't remember which button you press) to take a screen capture of the frame you are viewing and it will save it as a separate photo!

Take a large memory stick, maybe around 1 GB, and connect it to your computer, and copy a WMV movie file onto it. then put the memory stick inside your PSP and the psp should recognize it.
