Thanks a lot for this useful post. But I had difficult time navigating through your site because I kept getting 502 bad gateway error. Just thought to let you know.

My sub-Uban golf video that’s on the above blog was done all with my Flip camera, but I crunched it together on-line on PhotoBucket. – And will have to give Kino a shot, I started to play with Kino the other night, and well, time ran short and I never got back to editing the thing. – What I’d like to be able to do, is take the .avi files an put them into DVD format, for my less then a geek mom to play on her DVD player, located 4 time zones away…

You live in the really flat part of Michigan, I see.

I played with my Flip yesterday, and it really is easy.

The stills aren’t as bad as you’d think. They’re small, but fairly clear.

If I have time tonight I was going to write about the flip.

Assuming I don’t fall asleep on the sofa.

So what have you seen/found for the next step up? Something that would do better stills, has optical zoom, better px resolution and a few more features? We have a much older mini-VHS but it has none of the ports to output to digital so it can’t be edited with today’s tech – and my boys are at precisely the age where they want to play with this stuff.

Unfortunately, it won’t do still photos. The built in software will “take” stills from video, but I can only imagine the outcome is horrible at best.

kimby: I really kinda fell in love with it. If you install Perian in OSX, you can directly import the video files into iMovie as well. Well, at least iMovie ‘06, I didn’t try ‘08. (http://www.perian.org – free addon for quicktime that will allow it to play pretty much everything)

Will the flip also take still photo’s?

Thanks Shawn…I am looking at getting one of the Flips, and was wondering about compatibility with Mac.
It is exactly what i am looking for (hate, hate, hate our video camera now)
