Comments on: Flip ultraHD Video Camera Review http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/08/17/flip-ultrahd-video-camera-review/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sun, 27 May 2012 00:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: BarbaraLee http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/08/17/flip-ultrahd-video-camera-review/comment-page-1/#comment-100423 BarbaraLee Mon, 04 Apr 2011 20:13:17 +0000 http://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=19818#comment-100423 I have made several movies with my Flip Ultra HD and burned them to dvd's by exporting them from FlipShare into the "regular" part of my computer. (The last one was 67 minutes, divided into several smaller clips so no one had to sit and watch the whole thing all at once.) The Flip movies are joy to watch on our Blu-Ray dvd player, but they will not play on our friends' regular dvd players. I tried putting the Flip Ultra files into my old version of Nero but Nero could not recognize the Flip files. (My older home movies made with Nero Vision 4 Essentials play fine on the regular dvd players, AND on our Blue-Ray dvd player.) Is there a way to convert the Flip Ultra HD files to a file that regular dvd players will recognize, OR is there a version of Nero that will recognize the Flip Ultra HD files?

I'm not terribly tech-saavy, so anything you could tell me would be very helpful.

I would call it a luxury gadget which most people don't need. To make it a must have gadget the price needs to stay the same but the frame rate needs improving, a macro setting needs to be implimented, an anti shake would be handy and better range of colours!

However, the Vado does not support iMovie without a conversion first. The Vado also doesn't support Quicktime without downloading a specific codec. That being said, you can get a Vado HD for $130 from Amazon right now, so I am thinking of getting one. None of them look to have Macro modes.
