Flip video camera has a problem/ Flip doesnt record 2 hours?




spr619


I have a Flip video camera, The Ultra HD that records 2 Hours and for some reason it says it only has 1hr and 47min, and i even deleted everything on the camera and it still says that, Please i need to have it fixed by 3/25/2011
please
I could always record 2 hours, this happened recently that i cant now



Answer
Scotts right,

I think the file system on the flip will be fat32 it has a maximum file size, which will work out at about your time limit.

If it did more than that then format the drive do not delete it, that will clear off everything, all formatting does its basicall hide the file and tell the camera that it can record over it.



Since when can you record 2 hours on a Mini-dv tape 63 minutes sp or or for those who dont want to spend money 90 minutes LP

Answer
Lovely question mate. Okay, for me, the best DSLR camera for video is definitely Canon 550D or Kiss X4 or T2i whatever they call it. I love it for its value for the money. It has all the right features I need to capture great videos. The grip is comfortable, it records progressive videos (interlaced video like old Sony Alpha cameras are a nightmare), great prime lens options, full manual control over the exposure and has ample resolution options and frame rates such as these:
- Full HD : 1920x1080p: 30/24 fps (NTSC), 25/24 fps (PAL)
- HD : 1280x720p (HD): 60 fps (NTSC), 50 fps (PAL)
- VGA : 640x480 (SD): 60 fps (NTSC), 50 fps (PAL)

Notice I said prime lenses? It means that the aperture size is constant along the focal length. Zoom lenses change their aperture value when zoomed in or out. The kit lens, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, is strange. Let's say you lock exposure at 1/100 shutter speed and f/3.5 when the lens is zoomed out to 18mm. Then during recording you zoom in to 55mm. At this length the lens can only provide you with f/5.6 and then the video mysteriously gets darker. To overcome this I rarely zoom in or out during recording, and I use fixed aperture lenses like a 200mm f/2.8 prime, 50mm f/1.8 prime and some more primes.

My recommendation, get a Canon 550D and then spend more on prime lenses. Oh, don't forget to get a tripod or a steadicam for non shaky videos. Have a good time making movies!
