Hi,

I am new here, so i appologise if I am posting in the wrong place.

I have a Canon A540.

I recently downloaded my vids to my Laptop (Windows XP Pro SPii).

I then stupidly deleted the vids from my camera and now want to get them back onto my camera.

I can upload pics using the software that came with the A540 without problem, but the camera window software that allows this, only has a choice of Jpeg, and does not let me select the vids that I previously downloaded.

Can anyone tell me how to get my vids back onto my Camera?

I have been searching the web for ages and cant find anyone else with same problem.

I also tried just opening the camera with XP browser, but whilst this lets me copy FROM camera TO laptop, it wont let me do the reverse, so I cant copy the vids this way.

If I used a card reader (my laptop does not have one), would I be able to copy the vids back to the memory SD card, and would the A540 recognise them if I did this?

Thanks in advance for any help. :)
