Hi, Please use the yellow pages website to find a camera shop that can help fix your camera. If that does not work, you can take it to your local Geeksquad/Bestbuy and they can work on the camera for you. Otherwise, you might also call Hitachi directly to ask them about the nearest repair shop that you could send the camera to. Thank you.

I would search on ebay.

If available for your OS they will be on the Hitachi web site.

Try here.

First find the format of the video.

Insert the video cd to the computer and right click the video file and the click the properties menu, watch the file type(i.e: .flv , .avi ,.wmv)

Basically the hitachi saves in mpeg2 or mpeg4 type.

Use the GOM player to play the video Or there are many more players available to play that video.

Your best bet is to go online. Type the make and model number into google, then check the results for hitachi’s own website.
