The Flip video camera records up to 60 minutes of video. You can view the video on the screen on the camera or upload the video files to a computer to view and edit via a USB connection. Each time you press the REC button and then stop recording, you create a new .avi file.
 * Using the Flip Video Camera **

To Use the Flip Video Camera
1. Turn the Power switch to ON. 2. To start recording, hold the camera so the display is on top with the red button underneath and push the red button. To zoom in or out, push the up or down arrow. 3. To stop recording push the red button again. 4. To play back your last recording – push the PLAY button. 5. If you don’t like what you’ve done, push the delete button twice to erase the file. If you like what you’ve done, and you want to try it again, push the red button to record another file. //**To move between videos, use the right and left arrow buttons on either side of the red button.**//

View or Transfer Your Video Files to Your Computer
1. To view your files on a computer, expose the USB end on the Flip camera and plug the camera into a USB port on your computer. (Because of the size of the camera you may need a USB extender cable.) 2. If you should get a window asking you about installing the Flip software, then you might need to install the software (or alternatively a small decoder file that is on the Flip camera in the ** System/INSTALL ** folder) to get the Flip videos to play on your computer. You only need to do the install once. **//This software should be installed already on the media center computers.//** 3. To play files in Windows Media player, use My Computer and find the camera’s drive letter, then open the ** DCIM/100VIDEO ** folders to find your videos. 4. To transfer files to computer, open another window (double click "My Computer"), find the folder you want to put the video files into, and then drag the files from the flip drive to the folder you want to put the files into. 5. When you’re done transferring files, you can delete them off the camera by right-clicking the file on the flip drive and clicking delete. Afterwards, you can use the little green arrow in the System Tray to eject the device just as you would any flash drive and put the battery compartment back on ;)
