I can understand your family's concern but I am an avid YOUTUBER with 29 videos on weightloss advice and I have many friends in my circle. There is nothing wrong with using YOUTUBE to send videos and you can always set your YOUTUBE site to PRIVATE so no one but your friends and family see your videos. I would be concerned with sending dvd's in the mail where they can get lost. I am planning to purchase this camera in the future because of the excellent quality of the videos. Not bad for the price.

I send DVDs and VHS to my family and friends and there's never been a problem. The new Flip Video download allows me to send videos without having to download them to another web site, and it's not through AOL anymore. I also use Dogster.com and LiveVideo to send my FLIP videos, and I've noticed that PhotoBucket is also starting to have video downloads but I haven't tried them. You can save your videos first, then find them later to download on any site. Just click on "Start", then "My Documents", then "My Flip Video Library", The Album that you stored the video in, and finally when you click on that video it will start downloading to that site.

Absolutely and you can also go online to see a video. The link is included in my box. If not in yours, you'll find it on YouTube. You'll love it because it's so easy.

It may be just me, but I rarely upload raw, straight video from camera to Youtube. I think every video could use a little clean up and editing before posting. Unless you have something earth shattering, take the time to make it look good. That said, I'm not sure if YouTube will take the native file format of this camera or not. The files are large - reason two for making edits and 'right-sizing' the files. You can make the files the best they need to be for whatever service you upload them to. Finally, I can confirm, without a doubt that this camera does not have the ability to do a wireless file transfer. Good luck!

Actually, I started learnign it before I ordered it. There are a number of "Experts" that post how to videos on You Tube, that was a great starting place for me. There are some that go in a series and some that go all over the place. Also using the show me how button on the upper right is a good place to go for basic stuff, but to get really crazy, I recommend the You Tube teachers.

You have to download. The problem is we couldnt get anything to download. We tried video, music and pictures. Nothing worked.

I suppose you can transfer your video because of the USB connection like you would any other device. It may take a while to download though but I don't personally post anything to YouTube.

It's not used for that purpose. All you need to do is google for an application that will allow downloading of youtube videos to your computer.

Leo, Yes it will make your DVD, under one condition !! The downloaded Youtube videos has to be 1080p resolution, 720p you are in the extreme margin to have a relatively good film without any interruptions... Lower than 720p, FORGET IT !! Take it from me, I've tried.... ( 480p - Very irregular and halts alot.. / 720p - More or less good DVD video, last 1080p Resolution EXCELLENT for DVD videos... WARNING ! 1080p files are large, don't be surprised when you see sizes of ( 1 or 2 GB )...... I hope this helps........ !

We would view video from youtube, but never attempted to upload a video. I'm sorry that I cannot be more helpful.

You can't directly download from YouTube but if you use another tool to download the videos you can. Bear in mind Windows Movie maker on Windows 7 and above supports this and is free. Also bear in mind that it is against YouTube's terms of service to download any video.

Tracy, I don't know. I haven't tried it for that purpose. I've downloaded from Youtube with other programs.

I don't know guys, I still haven't figured it out. Reading thru other posts here is making me think I'm going to return this thing. I really thought I'd like it, but if I can't string together my video clips to burn to DVD, WHAT is the point? It doesn't seem you can ask this question at the Vado official site either w/out first entering all the numbers off the box it came in. What a pain, I don't carry the box around w/ me. They also do not have an 800# that I can find on the site to call. Frustrating! I wonder how many customers they are losing?
