VLC?

I have a trail cam problem. Normally I take out the micro card and the video clips play in one program or another and the above is a typical example. However, the new cam will only play the clips in VLC which means no screenshot to tell you what is on the clip just a black screen. Take 30 clips and my time reviewing them goes from 15 minutes to an hour.

I cannot convert them from VLC but if I upload here, on You Tube or Face Book the clips are converted and viewable. Never had this before.

Like I say -a pain and time consuming.

Anyway, above is Sonic to entertain you!

New species are filling in niches left by species extirpated by humans and these new species have, after 40+ years of observation created no problems.

Despite this the official policy of the UK Government and the Department for Environment Farming and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is to class such species "invasive" and trap and kill them as the opportunity arises.
This paper suggests that DEFRA needs to reassess its stance since it is impossible to exterminate all established "invasive species" -the New fauna now closely tied to the Old fauna,
