How does the video recording work, what's size of storage? is the info "wiped" once you play it back?

There is no storage. This is just a camera. You plug the video feed into something else that can record.

As are the camera and the 16 gb sdhc card, I menaged to record 9 min, 1.42 gb, stopping myself when the show ended. I believe that I could record longer. I cant explain what is the difference between us.

I have not seen a way to do that but the system overwrites the oldest video when the hard drive runs out of space. Ao in that respect you don't have to worry about it.

hello, as far as the memory card goes, it stops recording when full. with a 32gig card, I got about 5 hours of recording time. I just erase the card once a week on my laptop. when the card gets full it tells you. the menu is quite tempermental as formatting the card while in the dashcam is a pain.

According to the instruction manual (page 7), it appears that you have to record until the memory is full. Hitting the record button after that point will delete all content and start recording anew.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and

It has internal flash memory. Imo it's better than a hard drive, less things to go wrong. I've owned one of these for about 2 years now. It still works great. Plays nearly any video, book, audio file I can throw at it and even (with the correct cable) plays perfectly on an analog tv. The 1080p looks insanely nice on an HD tv and the sound quality is fantastic. This single device has completely replaced my dvd, vcr, etc. Hope that answers a few of your questions.

Thanks D. Henschel! I had used about 120 mins out of 160mins originally. Once I plugged into my computer--sifted through the videos--I deleted all the ones I didn't want from the DCIM folder, which sent them into my "Trash" bin. I turned my flip back on and even though it said "No Videos" -- it was only showing 40 mins of recording time. What I needed to do was empty my "Trash" permanently with the Flip still plugged in my computer. Once I did that--it was back to normal. Even if it's deleted from the DCIM folder and into the trash--and not showing on the actual Flip Video Camera

The issue is the software Operating system is limited to 2 Gigs per recording session. If you are recording a long video such as a child's play then that's a problem. if stop recording and start another recording session you will be able to fill your card with video. I've rarely recorded continuously for 8 minutes so it's not a problem for me. Also if you reduce the resolution to something less than HD such as VGA you will quadruple your recording minute. Remember if you record a VGA you still have better resloution than DVD.

The recorded files are stored securely. To view them, go to "Video Player", press "OK", the unit should show "No files!". Hold down on the two "VOL" buttons (VOL-/&lt;&lt;I and VOL+&gt;&gt;I) for more than 3 seconds, the unit will read recorded videos and a list of videos will show up. Use the two VOL buttons to select the one you want to play. Please let us know if this helps. Thank you.

I had a 4gig that I transferred from my old camera and it never got full even after close to two thousand pictures but I never recorded video with it which takes up a lot more data. I hope this was helpful.

I wish I could help you but neither the book or the box gives you a maximum on storage. It just says you have to use an external USB drive. I am using an HP simple save that I think is 500 G and it works for me but I just record TV shows.

I see your question was answered. I just wanted to add that I do believe the max size is 32 gb and the recommended speed is class 4. So that's what I got and it works great. I think that loops for 8 hours or so, which is plenty of time to download the video if needed to keep them.

You are correct, there is a microSD card that installs in the belly of the unit. You start/stop recording by pressing a very small button next to the card slot. I purchased a class C10 SD card as it records faster so the video is smoother than a less expensive card. After flying, you can put the card in your phone, or computer to play back the video. It's very good considering the cost of the unit, w/ auto-adjusting contrast and exposure. Enjoy.

Storage and back up works fine. Never edited video directly on the drive itself.

I cannot definitively say. The bit rate and obviously the length of recording will greatly affect the size. Typically, I record at a 128bit rate. Example, I have a 7min recording, @128bit, and it is 6300kb.

The video recorder will continue to overwrite data once it runs out of storage. Exception: there is a built in sensor when it senses a crash it will keep I believe 5 minutes before and after the event "marking" it as do not erase. I believe so you can use for insurance purposes. There is also a manual button you can use to "mark" video. I am using a 16GB card and I get 2 hours on best - so you should get about 4 hours.
