p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Video save location on Sony devices

Hello,

I've never owned a Sony camera or mobile phone. It seems many Sony cameras save their videos in MP_ROOT and PRIVATE, rather than within the DCIM folder.

Are there any other folders where videos are saved on any Sony camera, past or present?
Is there a spec for the folder structure Sony creates that I can consult?
Do Sony Android phones follow the same practice, or do they always save their videos under the DCIM folder?
Are you aware of any other manufacturers emulating Sony?

Thanks!

The reason I was asking is because I develop a software program used for downloading photos and videos from cameras, smartphones, memory cards etc. I solved the problem by allowing the input of a variety of special folder names:

Not exactly elegant, but it handles the Sony use-case and that of obscure cellphones that also deviate from the DCIM standard.
