Can you turn off the timestamp? I want to use this for realtime video at my clubs and don't want the timestamps. thanks

Sorry I have never seen a time stamp but I have never seen any thing in real time either. I see six videos(old tapes) at a time and the picture quality when running that many cams is pretty poor. I only need to know when any camers stops so I can finalize what I have just copied.Good Luck.

Please watch the following video for instructions on setting the date/time stamp:https://www.dropbox.com/s/gflz7qsdmzjtz9i/Inventio%20Time%20Stamp.mp4

You can set the time that the frame comes on and goes off. You can also adjust the amount of time each picture is shown.

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)

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.

I had this especially with golf and the movement of the balls. There is a tru motion setting in the picture settings. I played with it but had the best results just by turning it off. Maybe this will help.

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

I don't think it is Sony... I also just recently downloaded videos from a Kodak camera and they also formated to .MOV... which I had to download QickTime player to see.

Hi, that is interesting and is misleading for sports or nature photographers like myself. I did buy it for the noted mb speed on the label as I need speed on my shoots, and it bothers me that elsewhere it is stated as being slower than what I am being lead to believe, and need. I don't think though that that would restrict video taping as I also use as spares ScanDisk 45MBs cards which were the fastest at one time, but they take video with no issues. One must also take in the frames per second and pixel size of the movie. High speed cards can handle hi def to low definition. The first thing I did was change the movie mode to one of the lowest standard on all cameras that can take videos, and it still didn't work.i also have Lexar cards. They have issues when taking too many pictures such as action shots in sports, but are fine for video and general picture taking. I tested it when I got home and it had no issues videoing, along with the older 45mbs cards and still couldn't figure out why the PNY wouldn't take videos. Thank you. Rob

Camera comes with instruction book and in initial set up there is a time/date function to program in. The CD is VERY DETAILED. On p.53 in the Playback Section, there is a Note that says "You can use (symbols shown) [Display Date/Time] setting to choose whether to display the recording date when you play back videos." So, yes, there is a time/date function and you have the option to display it or not. That's all I found in the instruction materials supplied with the camcorder.

+1 for wanting this feature. it will be really really rare that i want to review old footage so why pay yearly when a tiny usb stick could hold days or weeks worth of footage? i also dont want my wifi upstream clogged with constant uploads of video from 2 or 3 of these cameras.

I am not going to use a 3rd party player. If something doesn't play in WMP by default, I don't want it.In 20 years from now I am not going to go searching for some weird player / codec.

Yes, you sure can! I put a combination of still and videos in my Premiere video projects. You can also adjust the amount of time they display during re-play (time stretch feature).

I went through the menus and didn't find an option for time/date video display. The videos I have shot don't have them displayed.

Yes, the United does have a time and date stamp on both the video and picture mode.You do have the ability to turn it off.

It's a great little unit. Be aware it DOES drift out of sync over time. You can use third party software to correct for it in editing or speed up the audio file in your editing system by 100.008%. Not a problem for videos less than about 15 minutes...no corrections necessary. Anything longer and you'll need to compensate for it. Otherwise it's a very useful and versatile device....I love it.
