I just got a Samsung SC-D363 camera and I was bummed to find that Samsung used a non standard codec to record the video to the SD card!  This means in Windows XP you can open up a video file in Windows Media player and you will only get the audio portion of your family Christmas or latest adventure.  I don’t know why companies do this when standards are out there but at least have the decency to provide a codec for download from your site labeled correctly.  Thankfully the codec is available from Samsung labeled as a Vista codec (32bit), but I assure you the XP version is included in the download.

Steps:

1. Download the “Vista” XP Codec from Samsung for the SC-D363.
2. Unzip to a location on your computer.
3. Double Click the Codec file which installs the XP codec.
4. ….
5. Profit Enjoy your movies.

It’d be great if Samsung could use a standard codec or at least label the codec correctly on the support site.
