I want to know does it really cuts the videos into 20 min files ? and is there a way to fix that ?

According to the manual:The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. Themaximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time ismore than 20 minutes or a video file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video fileis created automatically.

Yes it does, and I haven't found a way to fix that. I'm using this for recording business meetings & training sessions, so it hasn't been a huge issue, but for vacation videos it could be a real pain. If you have editing software, you could probably splice the files together.

Does the recorded video transfer onto the computer in one file? I have a spy camera that breaks the video into 7 minute files. I need something (does not need to be a spy camera) that has a time stamp and keeps the recording in one continuous file. Will this camera do this? If it doesn't any suggestions on another camera to consider?

I saw the same thing, I'm sure if you play around with the settings a little bit you will be able to figure it out, otherwise it will have lots of short 5 minute videos

The manual says 320 minutes for 1080, 480 minutes at 720/60 and 620 minutes at 720/30. I would go with what the manufacturer says (60 minutes). It records in cycles of 1 minute or 5 minutes, now keep in mind this is continuous in a sense. I keep my cycles to 1 minute, this way it won't take forever to upload to YouTube. Now I play them all back at once on my PC, the one minute clips let me cycle through a trip a lot faster. Searching through 5 minutes at a time could prove more tedious. My advice is to set and on one minute and leave it. I do delete my micro sd each day, even though it's not necessary, since it will cycle back around and over you oldest clips first.

It does record in "blocks", or files about 1 - 5 minutes long (selectable). If you are editing these together with MovieMaker or some other software, they are supposed to edit seamlessly together. If you select the option, when the SD card fills up it is supposed to delete the oldest file as the new one starts to record. I have a 32Gb in mine and the cars these are in have not been driven enough to fill the card. I have it set to the highest resolution. It seems like you should get about 2 hours on a 32GB card. Hope this helps.

Cant really say,but convert all your videos to MPEG format it's big but it will play.

If your video editor can make small changes in the play length of the video, you can keep the audio as it is and just stretch or shrink the video a fraction until it syncs. Nobody will notice.

Thanks D. Henschel!I had used about 120 mins out of 160mins originally. Once I plugged into my computer--sifted through the videos--I deleted all the ones I didn't want from the DCIM folder, which sent them into my "Trash" bin. I turned my flip back on and even though it said "No Videos" -- it was only showing 40 mins of recording time. What I needed to do was empty my "Trash" permanently with the Flip still plugged in my computer. Once I did that--it was back to normal.Even if it's deleted from the DCIM folder and into the trash--and not showing on the actual Flip Video Camera Thanks D.

I don't use it for video, but listning to MP3's, I get a lot of hours, I would imagine at least 8 if not more, I've never really timed it. I've been very happy with how long it lasts.

No Im afraid it doesnt Convert Video Formats. Its Playback Not Editing Software.

The longest clip I've recorded was around 20 minutes. I never received any warning about a time limit. I've always figured that it was based on the battery life and storage space in my SD Card, which it does tell you how much time is left given those two factors.

Yes and 3 min segments are suggested. The camera will created a new video every 3:01 (One second of overlap) and erase the oldest video file and start over when card becomes full.

I don't think you're going to get the fine-tuning of Final Cut. I like Ulead VideoStudio for its ease of use, but it doesn't at all compare to Final Cut. (No, you can't leave gaps in the timeline, and I don't think you can use the arrow key to go frame by frame either.)

Thank you very much for the tip. I have a question though. Vimeo allows to e-mail up to 500Mb which is about 1 min of video. Is there a way to e-mail larger files (3 min of video is about 800Mb)? Is there any good way to compress a video and keep a half-decent quality? (I tried Windows movie maker and the result is below poor).Thank you very much

The videos are saved as MP4 files and can be edited with any software that supports the use of that type of file. I posted one directly to YouTube, after doing just a little editing using Windows Movie Maker. Hope this answer helps you out. Bob Plyler Kodiak Alaska

I'm using MP4 and not having a problem, but they are large files. Running windows 8.1, 12 GB memory.

Mine has options in the menu for loop recording ("off", "3 min", "5 min", and "10 min"). I have it set to "off". When full it displays an icon that indicates that it's recording over the old footage, but when I go to play back the latest recording it isn't available. I pulled the card to check it on my laptop and
