Customer Review: How to make your own DVDs
Summary: 5 Stars
This little product is terrific. It takes excellent video and is amazing in low light. Very simple to use. I have noticed that you have to pay attention and move the camera slowly when shooting video to avoid a shaky look on the playback.
The Flip Video connects to your computer via USB. The Flip Video software is in the device's memory and starts when you plug in the USB. (While you can transfer the software to your computer it will not work as it gives you a message that it can't detect the camera.) Once connected you can save the video (which is in avi format) to you computer. It is stored in a file that it creates called Flip Video Library. When you plug the Flip in for the first time it downloads a Codec to your computer that allows programs such as Windows Media Player to play avi files. The software will also allow you compress the video (which uses about 30 megs per minute of video shot) for emailing. You do not lose the original avi file by compressing, rather it creates a new file. It changes the format from avi to Windows media video format that any recipient can read. (If you sent the umcompressed avi file the recipient would need to have the codec for the avi file format. While this is freely available by doing a google search, many recipients won't know this). The software also allows you to create jpg photos by clicking on a radio button called "Snap" while watching the video. The software does other stuff as well that I have not played around with.
As to making DVD from your video, Flip has a deal with CVS, Rite Aid and others that allows you to take the Flip to the store upload the video and for $13.00 get a DVD. Too much $$. Here are the alternatives: First you can plug you Flip into your TV via the standard composite video (yellow, red, white) cable it comes with and play it back on your TV and record to you DVD recorder or VCR. However this will show a count down timer in the top corner of your video. Another method that I recommend is the freeware program called DVD Flick. Fairly simple to use for anyone with some computer literacy. It creates DVDs from avi files.
I have a standard camcorder that I never have when I want it because it is too big to lug around all the time. This is small enough to carry around without any problem. Remember on vacation once you have shot the 30 or 60 minutes (depending the model you buy) you need to off load the video to a computer or delete what you've shot. This device would be perfect if there was a simple device that allowed you to off load the video to a flash drive directly.
