Questions about this: Can I make videos that can be stored onto my PC so I can use more than the 60 minutes worth of video?

Yes you can. Format, depends on what you use and save after you edit. I use Roxio and save as WMV. I also burn to DVD and play on a 50" plasma. Video is better than our old VHS-C and close to MiniDV.

Haven't done it myself but if you really wanted to you could set up a machine with a screen capture going and that would record all that was coming in - like Camtasia. Think you'd really need to tweak the settings to not fill up a 100gb/hour or something absurd

I did not try that yet but I looked it up. Each disc has 4.7GB storage capacity for storing thousands of digital photos and up to six hours of video. I used them to record my videos and they worked great. I hope this helps.

Yes. It is very easy to record straight to your PC to be viewed later. I also recommend using a MicroSD card which will allow you to pull up videos anytime form any device like your smartphone.

Yes, you can. The videos take up a lot of space though, so you probably couldn't fit more than one video.

Hi, Eric...that would depend on how large a memory card you have :-) I have an 8Gb SD memory card in mine & I have taken over 7 minutes of video with it & never ran out of space. I haven't pushed it beyond that point but have read in reviews that the average time you can video in 1080p with an 8Gb card is 22 minutes. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. :-(

it depends on what you are using to record with. As an example: from the DVR attached to my TV I can record up to 8 hours of video on a DVD; using the software on my PC I can't record more than 4 hours of video on a DVD.

This is a NO BRAINER......... If you look at the size of the video file ??? then play the video ????? you can figure this out....example.....video size is 40gb ----- play time is 100 min... 40/100=.4gb per min ... so 4gb = 10 min... Got it????

The manual says 320 minutes for 1080, 480 minutes at 720/60 and 620 minutes at 720/30. I would go with what the manufacturer says (60 minutes). It records in cycles of 1 minute or 5 minutes, now keep in mind this is continuous in a sense. I keep my cycles to 1 minute, this way it won't take forever to upload to YouTube. Now I play them all back at once on my PC, the one minute clips let me cycle through a trip a lot faster. Searching through 5 minutes at a time could prove more tedious. My advice is to set and on one minute and leave it. I do delete my micro sd each day, even though it's not necessary, since it will cycle back around and over you oldest clips first.

Yes! Once the video reaches a certain (size), usually around 4 GB, it will start a new video. If you are shooting at 1080p it will max out quickly. I had a 1 hour flight and it was in 3 sections, but you can piece it together in a video editing program.

I do not know what exactly you are asking but I use a windows 7 pc and am able to download the video off of the sd card from the device onto my computer and use the windows movie maker to make DVDs of the video. I hope that answers your question.

Does anyone have an answer because I'd like to use it to record concerts and sometimes they can go upwards to 2- 2 1/2 hours long

I believe you can save it to the memory or use the mini sd or USB slot. You can also stream straight off of YouTube so you have an unlimited selection.

No you shouldn't as it records them as separate mp4 files (I think it's mp4). You tell it where to store the files so you can back them up if preferred.

Yes there is a 30 minute limit on video length and then yes, you have to press record again to do up to 30 minutes more. By then you'll need to swap batteries. Batteries last a maximum of a bit over an hour at 1080p. Aftermarket batteries often last more like 45 minutes.The 30 minute limit exists no matter what quality of video you choose to record in, even the lowest which is 480p.The limit is there because this camera only accepts SD cards that are formatted FAT32, and FAT32 has a max file size limit of 4GB, in which it can get close at the 1080p setting. I think they were lazy to keep the limit on lower qualities and to not support NTFS for that matter.

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

None, you need an SD card, and however big your SD card is is the amount of video.
