I understand that my Flip video recorder uses no SD card and has internal storage capacity of about one hour's worth of videos. What do I do when I go Hawai`i and have plenty kanikapila for record? I figure we get one kanikapila with Duke & Jay and all them other swell guys, and probably one with Lanet and the Abrigo `Ohana and whoever would come out for that. And of course, I would have to post them on You Tube. And then what if I wanted to video Martin, George, Aaron or Bobby Ingano? Or Led? Or Uncle Eddie Kamae or Mike Ka`awa or Paul Kim or Analu Aina or even that CUTE Ocean Kaowili or Uncle Jerry Santos or Hoku Zuttermeister or stuff at the Slack Key Festival, etc., etc., etc.
If I took the Flip to a camera store, could they download off the Flip and put it on a DVD?

| The Flip has a USB thingy on it so no need one cord. But you need one program that comes with the camera its called flipshare. Kinda awkward aiming one netbook at people and you canʻt conveniently frame shots. All good ideas but the flip is cool, thatʻs what i been using to post vids on youtube. |

| I have the Kodak Zi6 which is similar, but stores to SD cards instead of internal memory. |

The flip camera has a USB connector that flips out of the camera so you can connect to the computer directly without a cord.

I think the best bet would be to find a place that will put the vids on a DVE for me. That is the most, ahem, cost effective way to do so. Normally one hour would be plenty of time, but O`ahu presents many potential opportunities to record some great music to share with you guys, especially of my hanai braddahs and kanikapilas shared with a bunch of new-found friends.
I shoulda been a boy scout. I believe in being prepared. Shoot, if I had enough clothes, I would start packing right now. So I figured at least I can make my packing check list right now so I won't be hurried and maybe miss something critical like my jillions of bottles of medicines.
And hopefully it will start warming up and getting sunny over here so I can get some color on my legs without artificial color being involved. I neva like have the skinniest, whitest legs in Waikiki.
Thanks guys for helping me figure out what to do.
PS: Braddah Ed: The daughter won't let her dear sweet mama borrow her lap top. Humbug. |

I wonder if you would be able to bring a thumbdrive of good size and go to like kinkos or something and transfer the video from the flip to the thumbdrive using their computers. Or even if your hotel has a business center. Just a thought.

Derek - the thumb drive thing is what I thought of first, but to get it to a storage device, the camera software would have to be on the computer I would be using. The hotel we are staying at does have a nice sized banks of computers for which one must pay a hefty amount (in my skinflint opinion) to use, but no can put any files onto the computers.
My daughter suggested a FedEx/Kinko's, so I am looking into that option.
Meanwhile I am going to write to Kawika since he has one Flip also and he is the one who recommended it for me since it is not very technically complicated and I could use it. Push the on button, push the button for record. Push the button when pau. Plug da buggah into da USB of da computah for download. Ta-dah.
Another idea might be something like photo bucket to hold them until I get home, but then would I be able to then retrieve them from photo bucket or similar storage sites? But then again, I still would have to be able for the computerto have the Flipshare software.
And I already get one nice size thumb drive.
I am also going to write to Flip customer support to see if you can save straight from the camera to a thumb drive without using a computer interface.
And Ed: Small keys, big fingers, ouch. Good thing I don't have to make a living by being a secretary like befo time.
I will leave the wearing of black socks to Unko Paul. Nah-nah. His problem is he wears white socks with black pants for dress up time. But so far we have neva had matching aloha shirts. Maybe we need one matching shirt for him and one mu`umu`u or holoku for me. Wouldn't that be cute. |

Nah, I am referring to the size of a regular keyboard since you were making fun of my typos. So a full sized keyboard makes no difference as to my accuracy in typing.
Re: white legs, when we go Waikiki I see plenty Japanese tourists, covered up from heat to toe, literally. Long sleeves, gloves, hats, long pants. The ladies must nevah like get toasted like one marshmallow on a stick. Or even to get one "healthy glow". |

You can actually tranfer the videos without the software. From the Flip site:
If you are having trouble saving videos using the Flip Video Program, you can save your videos with the standard features of your computer. Access your camcorder through your computer and double-click the DCIM > 100VIDEO folder. All of your videos are stored in this folder. For each video you recorded, you will find a video file in .AVI format. To save videos, select the files that you would like to save and drag them to the folder or location where you would like to save them on your computer. NOTE: Manually saving videos from your DCIM folder to your computer may cause problems with the albums and videos that you can see in Your Library. We strongly recommend that you do not manually add or remove files or folders in your Flip Video Library location, as it may result in a loss of your video files. If you would like to organize your files and folders manually outside of the Flip Video Program, please copy them to a different location on your computer and manually organize them only in that location.

If the hotel computers are part of their business center then I highly doubt they would disable the USB ports as most business people would be carrying their data on thumbdrives. I think you should be able to use the hotel computers to transfer from the flip to the thumbdrive no problem.

| One thing I forgot to ask -- if I could save directly to the thumb drive, then how many places to plug in something with a USB connection? I mean, the flip camera has a usb thingie and if I want to save it to the thumb drive, then that is a usb thingie, too. So how could I have two thingies plugged in at the same time? I know I sound dense about this, but that is only because I am. |
