Thank you very much. After sorting through many other search results you were the one that answered my question simply and intelligently. I now have all my recording space back and it makes sense. Yay.

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 Thanks D.

Thanks, I found the same problem. I let the computer delete the videos as they are being downloaded this save having to delete the trash but I always feel uneasy doing it this way incase the connection were to mess up. I love my flips!

The videos will look great burned to DVD. The Flip camcorder's native resolution of 640x480 pixels is well suited to DVD (720×480) so that is not a problem. It may take a few tries to find the best settings for exporting (or Save As) from your video editor.

@Benjamin Augustine: I was having the 1 second recording problem, too. I followed your instructions to reformat the internal memory, and it did the trick. Thank you so much for sharing that!

I suggest you contact Amazon right away! Inform them of your problem & they should refund your full purchase. They did for me & told me to just keep the product or throw it out.If you still want to convert your old videos, I'd suggest checking the Honestech VHS to DVD package. I eventually went with it from Amazon. Unfortunately you just missed a Gold Box deal a few days ago, but it's the best & easiest to use that I could find. Even at regular price it;s still a good deal. Good Luck & repost when you succeed. Mike

I could not get this thing to owrk - I brought an additional SD video card - still does not work right - I used the memory in the camera - and yes - it works well - with that - but the memory feels up really fast - so - its a bust for me - I was thinking about returning it - but - I knew they would kill me - so I decided to keep it. Honestly I dont even use it - its in th closet collecting dust. hope this helps.

I too noticed that with the camera's internal memory, but not with my 2GB stick. btw, look at this product: Iogear USB 2.0 MEMORY CARD RW ( GFR202MSD ) in amazon, it is a pen drive which holds the memory stick inside it. Very cool and cheap, I'll be buying one. Oh, also, I was a bit disappointed with the video quality the first 2 days, then I noticed the default is "medium" quality, once I changed it to "high" quality, I decided THIS IS THE ONLY CAMCORDER I NEED.

Cape Codder, Wong Chun or anyone else-I just ordered a 120 min. Flip Ultra and I am very excited! This will be my first camcorder, and I am really looking forward to using this.I do have a question for either one of you or anyone else. I did read a comment where this product isn't really meant for concerts. I am going to a Sonic Youth concert next month and do plan on using this there. Is it at least an alright camcorder to use at a concert ? I plan on at least recording a few songs, and Yes it may be dark, but regardless if it is good for concerts or not, I am happy I ordered this.

I got that too. I kept trying to insert and reset. Finally it said "formatting" and that was the last she wrote, i.e., the camera froze there. Packed it up and returned it the next day. I bought a (slightly) used Flip on eBay. I know opinions differ, but I had used (and loved) a Flip for years, had broken the lens and was looking to replace with something newer... hence the Kodak, which I found was shabbily made. Now back to another Flip. Even though Cisco dumped them, the Flip videos import as mP4's, and for my purposes, that works great and couldn't be happier with my new (used) Flip. Good luck!

It depends on what 's type of your video extention. Avi mkv. etc. Or somehow it's has been corrupt. Trying to deleted it and transfer it back. Good luck

no I think it is my laptop. I bought a usb hub for my desktop and the same video plays great on it. the laptop is only a year old and is a entertainment dv6700 from hp so it should play it back. I will not be keeping this Flip Mino.

I have used a 16Gb card in it. DO NOT BUY THIS CAMCORDER!! It has a known issue with it's auto-focus.

How ever many your memory card holds. It took a lot and video on a 4gb card.

Hey Katrina: I wish that I could answer that for you but I can't, because I use a 16g sd card and I'm constantly reviewing and deleting recorded footage so I really don't know. I'm sorry :-(

I do a lot of recording that is longer than 30 minutes on my Pan-AG-HMC40P using a 32GB memory card. It also breaks the data according to size of data. Don't know if there is a setting to extend the data size or time of recording.

I found a few on google and youtube but nothing solid. I also downloaded the manual from samsung. At this price, it's only double the Flip HD. Then add another $40 or so for a decent 16GB SDHC card. I must admit, the price is very tempting since I'm in the market for a HD camcorder.

Send it back, or order a memory card from amazon with more memory so you can record more.

Are you sure they said the max size was 8 GB? Some people talk about using a 16 GB card on here. Maybe they meant 8 GB was the largest SDHC card available when the camcorder came out?
