Which is best - Flip Slide HD &amp; the Flip Ultra HD. I have one chance to capture a video with a lot of movement - acrobatics, dancing, singin?

They both do the same but you have to go real slow with the camera because you can move fast and when you playback you get dizzy trying to watch it. As for the difference between each is just one has more capacity than the other

As to whether Flip video recorders work with mac, have no fear. Everything works fine on my Mac. Even the FlipShare movie editing software works fine (contrary to early test reports) My only gripe is that the newest update to the FlipShare software doesn't work on my legacy PowerPC chip Macintosh. You must have the newer Intel processor Macintosh to use the latest and greatest Flip software.

If you don't need the absolutely highest resolution, you can record video, and in the playback screen, you have the option of converting the exact moments of the video into still pictures. The capture rate shooting video would be faster than any burst mode in picture mode, so you'd probably get the moment you're looking for even with a really high speed baby.

I just got my ultra today. When I play back the video on my TV with the RV cable, there's a lot of static in the sound. But when I put the video on my computer and play it, there's no static. I know the problem is not with my TV because I have the original flip, and it doesn't produce static on my TV. So I'm thinking the problem is either with my RV cable or with the RV output of the camera. Not sure whether it's worth it to get a replacement. Has anybody else had this problem?

The iPhone does VGA video (640x480); the Flip does HD 720p (1280x720), or three times the resolution. The widescreen format of the Flip HD camcorders, in addition to the HD factor, means that Flip HD video look much better on YouTube than iPhone video. iPhones are great, but not in the same class with Flip for video. I agree with the previous comment that the UltraHD is the best value.

I had a similar dilemma. I just had a baby in December and wanted a camcorder for home videos. After hours of research I decided the Sony DCR-SR300 was the best HDD camcorder out there and bought it... so far so good! It also takes great pictures, although with each video you're limited in the number of pictures you can take (don't know if it's the same issue with the JVC Everio).

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 have not seen any reports that the Flip Mino HD drops frames. Please give me a link to that report.Yes, I have read that the Kodak does have that problem.

I have Windows XP and half speed DSL because we're in a rural area. With just the Flip software, I can download video to my computer, save it reduced for emailing as an attachment later on my desktop, burn them to dvd, edit them, use the six different Flip programs for making a movie with their effects or use the saved unreduced version on my computer for Windows Moviemaker. I haven't upgraded to the new Flip program because I like the original one, but that's the only unwanted thing that pops up for me each time I plug it in to the computer. I always click on "remind me later" so that I can stay with the original program.

No, it is not an easy upload. If this is for youtube check out the flip by pure digital.

My first Flip was not the Ultra, and the microphone was in the back. The Flip Ultra, that I bought next, has the microphone in the front, and it's amazing what great sound it picks up. However, if you're narrating with the Flip Ultra, remember to talk louder or you'll have to increase the sound later using Windows Movie Maker. Also, I liked the smaller count down numbers on the Flip Ultra when it's plugged into a TV or DVD recorder. The original Flip had LARGE lime green numbers counting down the seconds as it played, but only on your TV or DVD recorder, (or VHS recorder) not on your computer.

Thanks. You are absolutely correct. I tried a high speed card (the exact one you recommed) and the video works great (no more dropped frames) even for very long videos. I used this camera to film a science project where students build and crushed balsa wood towers. It took as much as 10 minutes to pile on the weights before the towers broke, so the videos ended up being very long (at 420 fps, 10min of filming results in 140min of finished video). All this to capture about 1 second of slow motion crushing. Worth every penny.

Go with either the HD-2000 or HD-4000. Look up Devin Graham, he uses the same setup as you with a glidecam.
