Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Flip MinoHD Video Camera - Black, 4 GB, 1 Hour (1st Generation) OLD MODELCustomer Review: Great for web businesses! Summary: 5 Stars
We host a lot of web products and services for our grads and find that our ecommerce customers had to jump through yucky hoops to get their products on U-tube, including Sony editing software, wmv conversion protocols, FTP glitches, etc. NO MORE! This awesome package-- including both the camera and it's user friendly sofware-- makes your dream of rss video feeds, clips on your website, and Utube uploads a BREEZE. Although the average customer will love this for family events, we'd like to emphasize the importance this little monster can have for your online business. If you don't know it yet, Utube can be a great place to get visibility for your product (our bladesmiths post their knives in action, for example), and you can include backlinks to your websites. Utube, owned by Google, also has automatic Googlebase (Froogle) feeds, so you get the added advantage of higher organic search listings free. We've found that four things can supercharge your web commerce: email blasts, ebay listings, article submitter software, and UTUBE clips! This amazing camera, with it's flip up usb, makes Utube capture, editing, and posting simple enough for your pre-teen (so keep an eye on them). Take a brief clip of your product in action by pressing the red record button, plug the unit into your usb, use the software to check or edit it, and upload instantly to utube, your own server, your website, or your email list! The first time you use it, you are prompted to install the software, which is in the unit's chip (no disc required). The GUI is friendly and easy with point and click for all features. Note: there is a bunch of trash talking about certain cables that don't fit this unit. The funny thing is that these cables are offered by third party sellers, whereas amazon's own cables work just great less than the ones that don't work! These cables really are not necessary, as the unit is light enough to "stick out" of your usb or hub, but if you have a crowded usb family, the cables are 8 bucks and worth the investment. Ebay is even allowing utube "additional descriptions" in their listings, which is a sneaky way to get folks to your website, as it's two links removed. To be safe, add "this link is to provide additional product description only" in your ebay listing, and when you do the link, put "buying on ebay is always fastest, safest and least expensive" and the AUP "community" crowd won't ding your link. GET THIS LITTLE MONSTER, START UPLOADING YOUR MINI PRODUCT CLIPS, AND SUPERCHARGE YOUR WEB BUSINESS! Brief caveat: Utube or separate server links are better than direct posting on your site, as they can slow loading for those with dial up. Also, don't put music on your site-- it slows loading, and can get folks in trouble who are surfing at work. In any case, keep your promo clip to under 60 seconds, folks won't watch longer than that for "most" products! ;=) good luck and God bless your business. Answer to recent question: How do I find the link to upload? 1. If you save your videos to your computer, the flip software saves it within that software, so you need to open an application to get to it. 2. For posting to your own website or server, do this: a. Click "sharing" and click on the world "internet" icon b. when the icon comes up, you can drag and drop the clips you want to process into wmv's c. Go through the little "yes" protocol (be patient, there is a very tiny progress window bottom left you might miss) while the software converts your clip(s) to wmv. Say "yes" to publish now, and you'll go to a flip website you can close-- the message will say the clips have been saved to your desktop. All this "pretends" to save to a website, but once they are converted to wmv and on your desktop (you can name the folder anything you want), you can then use your FTP or browser to put them on your website. If you have cable or dsl internet, you might now know it, but you DO get some space to upload content that you can then either link to, or publish on your own website. If you have NSI, godaddy, etc. just select and upload "media" window that allows wmv's, and you'll be live in minutes. If you're doing your own coding, either simply use a free FTP, or use the embed/ object tags within Dreamweaver. We recommend that you use embed, because it doesn't prevent search engine crawls, which could lower your rankings! The nice thing about wmv, is it automatically "calls" your viewer's media player up and has none of the hassles of trying to embed flash. Keep your clips small! Unless you're streaming, you don't want viewers to leave because they have to wait for a large file to load!
