How do I Convert Video From a Spy Pen Camera?

A spy pen camera is designed to store video in internal memory. Viewing the video shot on a spy pen camera requires uploading the video to the computer first. The video can then be converted to a file format native to the computer's operating system using the video program that is built in. The procedure is straightforward and will not damage the spy pen camera or the computer in any way.
