My c550 was set to record in mpeg-4 format when i got it. What can i play them with? Or how can i convert them? I know you can change the format to avi or h.263 but is this not as good?

Both MPEG4 and H263 use AMR audio which you can play in Quicktime.

Alternatively you set the camera applicaton to use Motion JPEG and PCM audio which will play in most PC applications.

In the camera application

Menu-Options-Modes

Mode=Video

Encoder=Motion-JPEG AVI

is there any dis advantage of avi, i want to convert my videos and edit them for my website, but this would be harder with mpeg4?

1 disadvantage is that they take up more space for the same length of video compared to an mpeg
