I cannot play the recorded video data from my VETEK NPX108-2 camcorder; what program or codec should I use? (The first three files work in GOM Player, but others do not.)?

If you can see the data files but cannot play them (or only some play in GOM Player), it is likely a codec or file corruption issue. The VETEK NPX108-2 records in high-resolution 4K Ultra HD, which requires specific system resources and software to decode properly.Please try the following steps to resolve the playback issue:Use a Modern Media Player: While GOM Player is popular, it may lack the specific HEVC/H.265 codecs required for 4K 60FPS video. Try using VLC Media Player or PotPlayer, as these come with built-in codecs for almost all modern video formats.Install HEVC Video Extensions: If you are using Windows Media Player, you may need to download the "HEVC Video Extensions" from the Microsoft Store to support 4K video playback.Check SD Card Health: If only the first few files work, the SD card might be corrupted or too slow. Ensure you are using a U3 or Class 10 high-speed SD card. You can try reformatting the SD card (Note: this will erase all data) via the camera's settings menu to ensure future recordings are saved correctly.Transfer Files to PC First: Do not try to play the videos directly from the SD card while it is in the camera. Copy the files to your computer's local hard drive first to ensure there is enough bandwidth for 4K playback.Use the XDV PRO App: You can also try connecting the camcorder to your smartphone via WiFi using the XDV PRO app to see if the videos play correctly on your mobile device.If the files still do not open in VLC Media Player, the files themselves may have been corrupted during the recording process due to a low battery or a faulty SD card.
