I used my PDR yesterday for the first time. Is it possible to view the disk on a home computer? If so could someone tell me whats needed.
My problem is that I live in a retirement park in florida, Otherwise I could just ask a kid on the street.

Both my laptop and my home computer have slots to accept the SD cards.

Sure you can. Just pull the SD card out of car and put in computer and the videos will show up. Very easy.

You will need an SD card reader, either the one built into most every desktop or laptop built in the last 5 years or a USB to SD card reader that you can get on Amazon or at Best Buy for $12-20.
It also is much cooler to view it on the Cosworth Toolbox program that you can download here: www.cosworth.com/toolbox

On a 32 GB card do you know how much video time you get? I understand if you go larger you have to format the card. Thanks

Not only will Cosworth play back the PDR videos, but Windows Media Player and VLC will as well. Cosworth is the best for detail. If your cell phone accepts VLC as an app (my Iphone will), then you can upload the videos to your phone as well.
(You will need an older vr. of Itunes if you have an Iphone, the latest vr. released last week doesn't allow "non Apple Apps such as VLC" to be uploaded to). Thanks Apple.

A 64GB card (what I bought) gives you 1540 minutes (25 hrs). Easily reformatted on Macs using Disk Utility.
