Hi,

Anybody know of a video player for PC that can play video clips from a camcorder without pausing between files?

Thanks
 
I use vlc for everything. A lot of people say if it can not play it, then nothing can.. but I have had to add codecs once for it. Although your talking about playing episode to episode (w/ the camcorder) I presume, so you can just add it to the playlist, and play. It will go from end of one clip to another; although a lot of players do this, vlc is great all around.
 
Daum PotPlayer is better than VLC: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PotPlayer

This is how I install it:
Even though versions higher than DirectX 9 are installed on Windows Vista/7/8, there are still DirectX 9 components that need to be updated on those operating systems.
Download DirectX End-User Runtime:

Double click on Setup.exe to install the program.

Beta versions are available only as updates to 32-Bit versions, they cannot update 64-Bit version installs.

Next > UNCHECK: All supported files
When asked which speaker system do you have, select: 2/0/0 - 2.0 Stereo
[If Same As Input is selected here, audio which uses more than two speakers will not be heard on two speaker computer systems.]

Right click on player > Preferences >
General >
File Open Method: Open selected file(s) only.
Tray icon: Do not show
Multiple Launching: Play the clicked file
CHECK: Store settings to .ini file

General > Mouse >
Left button - single click > Play/Pause
Left button - double click > Full Screen/Restore

General > Skin > OSD Messages > UNCHECK: Show messages

Playback > CHECK: Play from the latest point


Hardware > DVD/Blu-ray > UNCHECK: Display DVD Subtitles

Subtitile > UNCHECK: Show subtitles

Audio > Click on Built-in audio dec.settings > under Pass Through(S/PDIF, HDMI)
CHECK: AC3
EAC3
TrueHD
DTS
DTS-HD MA



Rename files Logo.swf and LogoMini.swf and Loading.swf inside C:\Program Files\Daum\PotPlayer folder to remove the logo. Also rename file C:\Program Files\Daum\PotPlayer\PotPlayer.png

Set custom files to open with Daum PotPlayer:
.3gp .ac3 .amr .asf .avi .dvr-ms .evo .flv .m2ts .m4v .mkv .mov .mp4 .mpg .ra .ram .wma .wmv .wtv


Rotate video display: Video > Screen Rotation
 
Thanks, for the suggestions, but think you guys missed my point. I already know a lot of players that can play my camcorder clips in a playlist. But the one feature they don't have is seamless switching to the next video clip. Basically all the players I tried have a 1 sec blackout/pause when the player finishes a video clip and go to the next one. This gets annoying when watching small clips from a camcorder. If I use my camcorder to do playback on my tv, it switches between clips without noticing it. I can't find a PC player that can do the same as the camcorder.

Did you add the videos to the playlist? And anyhow, there is going to be a seek time to "get" the next video pulled up.
 
yes I add them to playlist. "seek time" is unavoidable? couldn't the software cache ahead? My camcorder can play to my TV, and move along from clip to clip seamlessly. I would would imagine a PC can do it easy. My video files aren't even HD.
