I have a problem: Background: The Sony Mavica Digital camera is I believe at present unique in that it stores images on a normal floppy (dos formatted) disk. This is very convenient for students doing www work in particular. I advised the purchase of one at work as we have PCs and Macs which can, of course, read PC disks. The files are saved in JPEG format. No problem:-(( Despite trying several formatted disks (by PC) the Mac will not read the JPEG file *properly* It always reports the following error: jpeg. marker segment too short I have Graphic converter, photoshop and various other JPEG readers so i am sure the problem is not there. At present I have tried the disks on an LC475 and a G3 both running system 8. The PCs read the JPEGS without a problem (groan) My problem is whether to send the camera back as faulty or whether there might be an inherent problem with the Mac and the Mavica. Any other experiences?
