Pausing video clips: Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this easier?

Unfortunately, form my experience there is no way around it during recording. However, this camera has built-in editing functionality. You can stitch the snippets together into one continuous piece. It's quite easy. Then there is also the video editing software included with the camera.

you can just let it run. you can set the memory settings to record till memory is full or overwrite oldest video first.

There are different settings. I have mine set on 90 seconds, the maximum. After the 90 seconds if there is still motion another 90 seconds is recorded. It takes a minimal video program to splice them all together if need be.

You would need some sort of movie software to combine the clips. I have iMovie and Premier Elements, but there are various programs out there. Even Windows has one, I've never used it.

No, recorded clips duration is fixed and cannot be changed, but you can stitch them together with movie maker in ms window. Quicktime needs additional video codes.

Depending on how the programing is formatted... on my MP3 DIY programs, the only way to resume is to "pause" the playback & leave the player on. If the power switch is turned off, the playback doesn't always start from where it was paused. What's even more annoying is that the "skip" forward or backwards does the same thing... restarts from the beginning!Your results may be different, but this is how my MP3 DIY programs work. Really not an issue, once I figured out the workaround. :)

Yes there is an option to turn video off by putting the contrast down and still be able to hearAlso the video can be shut down after being idle for certain amount of minutes

Yes it does, and I haven't found a way to fix that. I'm using this for recording business meetings & training sessions, so it hasn't been a huge issue, but for vacation videos it could be a real pain. If you have editing software, you could probably splice the files together.

Yes starting and stopping will result in a new file. This allows you to name each scene for easier production, remember you want short scenes 10-12 seconds. You can always piece together in your editor software and transition to a new scene. The other option is to keep the camera filming and cut out the section you don't want, but this waste battery and storage space.

Haven´t seen a mute video button but there´s a blank screen button at 6 o'clock (doesn´t work on acrobat reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS X)

No it hasn't, but did you try to hit the reset? It could be that your video clips are too long.

Easiest way to do this is to pause the video, screen capture, then trim the resulting image.

I found this annoying too. To replay all the videos as one, select the slide show feature and choose 'video only'.

You need to play with the settings for video. It seems like you have the lapse feature on, which records in chunks as small as 1 minute; you can disable that and record without interruptions. The screen will automatically disable after 3 minutes of recording.

Yes, you can just click on rec button to pause or close the lcd screen to also pause the record.

You can stop recording, yes. The thing is, there is no such thing as "pause" anymore when it comes to digital camcorders. I worry that you may be thinking of the old-days, like 8mm or video tape or VHS or even digital tapes like Mini-DV when things were actually recorded on a piece of tape so if you hit "pause" then re-recorded after any amount of time, the TAPE would start recording exactly where you left off. Now that everything is digital and video data is recorded onto SD cards, memory cards, computers, etc., when you "pause" the camcorder will create a new TRACK. Like a CD. It's like the difference between a cassette tape and a CD. The data exists in a different realm. You can stop recording, yes.
