ive had .avi and mp4 files uploaded but received error messages until i downloaded a free video converter program called "Any Video Convertor". Its a great program to use and its FREE.

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.

If you mount it on the windshield, your camera will record upside down. If you can flip the video over in your computer then it will look OK. If you place the dash mountadapter on the dash then the device will be in a position to mount the camera upright.

The software for the Vado HD is totally different than it was for the Vado. I have seen no evidence that the older software was buggy. Please show me where you saw that Anyway the Vado HD has totally new and more capable software so the comment is irrelavent no matter what A major upgrade in the Vado HD software capability is evident on the Creative Singapore website. As for the video quality, see the Vado HD videos on YouTube HD version for yourself. The HDMI output and included HDMI cable with the Creative Vado HD ...allows for superior TV HD as the Flip Mino HD only has a composite output to a TV Awaiting more tests, but so far, the Vado HD has so much more going for it.

What I did was converted anything I wanted to watch to avi. Thru a program called format factory. N make sure ur usb flash drive is no bigger than 4GB. Or else it won't work.

Okay guys I got the player yesterday and had the same problem so I did some massive googling for 2 hours and found the solution: Press Display, and then use the Up and Down arrows to scroll through the different display options. When you see the timestamp go off, just let it sit there for like 4 seconds and the display will go off. I had to do this once for divx videos, and once for dvd videos and have not had a problem since.

Have 2 installed upside down. The only challenge (after you invert the image in the camera) is that the controls are backwards - up is down, left is right, etc. But it works great.

This solves the problem. Down load a free trial of Vegas Pro 8, and all of your worries will go away! if you render the AVCHD footage to widescreen NTSC you can then save it again in the windows Movie maker (if you have it) and make it about 80% less memory. True no more HD but who cares.

Yes it does. When you rotate it in that manner, you need to change the settings in the menu so the video won't be upside down.

I simply renamed my xvid movie which usually has a .avi file extension to a .mpg file extension. Low and behold, the blu-ray player played it just fine with no conversion necessary. Surprise! (rolls eyes...)

do you know any good avi to mpeg converters or something because the ones that i tried will either convert part of the file, or leave its logo in the center; and of course the zen converter doesnt work at all for me. thanks

In order to view the picture "right side up" it must be mounted as shown. Mounted with the "ball mount" down, the video will show on your monitor inverted. I have not found a way to invert this electronically. Garmin needs to fix this oversight. They would sell a lot more cameras without this restriction.

I too am having the same issue. When I playback the videos in large or fullscreen mode, it's jerky. In small mode, it's fine. I can't get Flip to respond to my email and can't get through on the phone, so I might be returning this one.

There's no option for vertical projection... Maybe the "video" could be rotated from the source.

Geologist is correct, I think. It is a processing power issue. I have an old single-core Pentium 2.4GHz and no matter which player I try, I get stopping and starting when playing back.Strangely enough, I've had much better results by uploading the videos to the FlipShare website and playing them from there! I guess they must be compressing them somehow, which is ordinarily a bad thing but in this case allows you to see them without the "stuttering" in the playback.

The image can rotate but you can not record with the image facing down. The screen is always facing up.
