are the videos limited in duration?

Yes, the maximum length of a video is 29:59. Full details can be found here: http://shop.panasonic.com/docs/operating-instruction/2014/digital-still-cameras/DMCZS40_Advanced.pdf#page=23

I believe it's 12 hours, at top quality. More if recording at lower quality.

yes - unless, i'm doing something wrong (and, believe me, i'm no technological whiz.) though, i have only been able to shoot short video "clips" with this product --- 1 to 2 minutes, or less .

The Video is good there are pauses in the video but not bad,Audio is not so good but I like mine for diving,not a bad camera for the price,also you only get about 30 min videos.

Yes, you can record a short movie and audio as well. But, it's like 2 minutes.

Not sure, our camera does not have a video option, but the pictures are great.

I only can watch small clips of shows on you tube. 1- 3 minutes. I have tried to watch longer but have not got any of them to download.

I'm not sure about a video because I have never tried it, but I have 300+ photo inspirational quotes loaded and they do loop over and over during the course of the day, plus I also loaded some MP3 music files that also play and loop. I would think that a video files would also loop.

Yes you can, for different formats you might have to download a different video player. But I haven't run into any that can't be played yet

I've had them on for about an hour max and I don't do video filming so I'm not sure the finer points of filming. I'm sorry I can't be of more help for you.

No. I do not have any time or date stamps on my videos during playback. There may be an option for it but I don't have it on currently.

Depending on the video quality you select, a long time. Even at the highest quality it should go for over a year before it needs to recycle over the old content. Hope this helps!

To answer your question informatively, yes. In the system settings there is an option to overwrite last night's videos(for example). And if you say no. It will keep them until eventually your SD card runs out of memory. Also if you are curious whether this deletes other content inside the SD card besides the videos, the answer is no. The system makes a folder named "Videos" and only affects that folder. All other contents are left unchanged/unaltered. So you have no worries.

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

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. :-(

So I ended up using the photofun studio and I could watch the vids. I actually could upload them directly to youtube from there too, but I didn't record them in jpeg and that was my problem. Thanks for the help though!

I think it will video until either memory or battery runs out. I have made 3 - 4 min videos. These were long enough for my purposes.
