MPEG4
MPEG-4 is a graphics and video compression algorithm standard that is based on MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and Apple QuickTime technology. Wavelet-based MPEG-4 files are smaller than JPEG or QuickTime files, so they are designed to transmit video and images over a narrower bandwidth and can mix video with text, graphics and 2-D and 3-D animation layers.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries. Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as
Picasa.

It likes to kill batteries,
Unfortunately there is no real solution to this problem other than keeping extra batteries to switch out for the dead ones if you are shooting for a while. Here is what your camera's manual has to say about short battery life:
The battery run time is brief.
You are using the camera
in a cold environment.
Battery performance deteriorates in low
temperatures. Keep the camera warm by
putting it inside your coat or clothing.
-
The remaining battery
power is not indicated
correctly.
When battery consumption fluctuates
considerably, the camera may turn off without
displaying the battery
Where do I buy more memory for my c 770 camera?
Olympus cameras have a special memory card called xD-Picture Card. You can buy these cards from any cameras shop or from eBay (probably cheaper although they are more expensive than the regular cards).

Camedia software does not recognize connection to
Did you install all software that came with your camera? If so, you should've seen a balloon on the bottom right corner of the computer screen saying the software was "successfully installed and ready to use" at the time of installation. Try this, then turn on the camera and connect it to the computer. The message doesn't go away because it's constantly looking for a connection to your computer, which your computer isn't detecting and is most likely that the proper drivers (which are in the CD) were not installed.
My photos are blurred 60% of the time. I think it
Make sure that you have short enough exposure. I have taken steady shots with 1/8s and with some support (wall, table or similar) even 1/2s. Normally slower than 1/30s makes pictures blurred.
When shooting, don't **** the camera, but squeeze the trigger - your shots will improve. Trust me.
Same for me. Does not turn off
This is normal. It is like a soft power-off to conserve battery life. To turn it back on just hit the ON/OFF button again. And then turn it OFF with the same button and the lens should retract as normal. The time out only powers down the electronics, it doesn't power down everything. you have to turn the camera off manually to turn it ALL off, including retracting the lens.
Olympus C-770 camera not turning on
The switch may be going defective, or the circuit board that it is sitting on is defective. This would require factory level service. They will most likely change the switch assembly to get the camera working properly.
