Yes, you can. It has s-video, which isn't super high-quality, but my wife and I regularly use our laptop to watch netflix instant view and it's at least as good as over-the-air regular (non-HD) broadcasts. Check to make sure you have a laptop with an s-video port. My dell has one, but my friend's apple does not and I'm not sure all PC laptops have one. Sound will need to be split from headphone jack into RCA inputs, the cord is available at radio shack for around $7.

Thanks again david.I remember reading some of the flash based camcorders record on .MOD files, which are somewhat hard to work with.This will be my first camcorder purchase in a long while (my last was a sony digital-8...), so your advice is well needed and appreciated.

It is an HD camcorder that produces very nice video and great still pictures as well. These things used to be pricier, but now it's easier to come across one at an affordable price. They have a cool feature: shooting 3D video. There's a special lens that attaches to the camera, and with compatible TV and glasses, you can enjoy the novelty feature. Camcorder uses SD cards, preferably Class 10. It has a touch screen that is pretty cool. If you're interested in the video quality, there are quite a few tests on YouTube. Have a great day!

David, you can only view recorded clips through a pc, the app only allows you to view Live footage. I would also recommend the NC-229 HD 1080P, I have both and the 1080P seems to have a better mic and much better night vision.

That's a tricky question as you are really talking about "Will my video card allow input cables from my camcorder?" The other option is whatever your camcorder records with (tape, disc, what have you) is there a way to transfer that data to the PC/MAC. Will it burn in HD? Yes absolutely. To a DVD? Not truly. You would need to have a blank BLURAY disc to get the real HD quality I think you might be looking for. The real trick is getting it off your camcorder. :) Hope this helps and if wanting some idea's try this string in Google "move video from camcorder to computer" without the quotes of course. :) Best of luck!

BUMP. Same question. I've been waiting awhile to get even a tiny camcorder b/c I figure wait as long as you can, then buy what's current. Some stuff I'll want to do, not sure if I can wait any longer than mid April. Anyone from Amazon please comment...

Cape Codder, Wong Chun or anyone else-I just ordered a 120 min. Flip Ultra and I am very excited! This will be my first camcorder, and I am really looking forward to using this.I do have a question for either one of you or anyone else. I did read a comment where this product isn't really meant for concerts. I am going to a Sonic Youth concert next month and do plan on using this there. Is it at least an alright camcorder to use at a concert ? I plan on at least recording a few songs, and Yes it may be dark, but regardless if it is good for concerts or not, I am happy I ordered this.

I looked up the Toshiba product that you mentioned. I don't see a problem at all. Let me break it down by what I can tell from the product description. "One Touch Recording makes recording your favorite show simple. Just connect the DR430 to your cable or satellite box and you are set to record with the push of one button." Simple enough. Do what it says then connect your cable or satellite box to the receiver with an HDMI cable to the SAT/Cable in slot. Run another HDMI cable from the receiver to your HDTV. "With the DR430, converting and archiving your favorite home movies to DVD is simple. You can also experience your DVD movie collection in near HD quality with the DR430's 1080p up conversion via HDMI. Video up conversion up to 1080p resolution via HDMI takes your current DVDs to a new level, for an amazing viewing experience on today's HDTVs." If you were going to just use the DVD recorder like a DVD or Blu-ray player to take advantage of the up conversion you'd connect the DVD recorder to the DVD input on the receiver with another HDMI cable. You could also connect it by an HDMI cable to one of the available video slots. Either way would work. Hope that helps.

Hi Dan, Let me try and address each of your questions separately. Question 1: This camcorder has the capability of recording either SD or HD. If its recorded in HD, you can transfer it to varous PC software packages in HD and down convert to SD for burning to DVD. Sony Vegas Movie Studio + DVD, Pinacle Studio Plus 10.5 and Ulead DVD Movie Factory can handle HD and create standard DVDs. No known software products for HD DVD and Blu Ray. Question 2: If you want to record in HD and output to a standard Mini-DV tape in SD format, you should look into one of the software products above to do that for you. I don't know if a firewire connection will work. Question 3: Yes. See the list of software products above. Please note that the software listed does not include professional grade software costing $400 and up. Additional software packages in this price range can handle HD editing. Also note, if you are looking into software for HD, check the system requirements of the software against your PC to see if you have enough horsepower to use it before buying.

Hi Dan, you can connect the camcorder to a computer via USB cable. From this link, https://docs.sony.com/release/HDR-CX250_CX260V_CX580V_PJ260_PJ260V_PJ580_PJ580V_PJ600_PJ600V_XR260V_guide_EN.pdf ,on page 174, youll find information on setting the camcorder for USB transfer. -Vincent

In a round about way. Before your recording was captured on tape. If you camcorder uses a SD Card it is recorded to it for replay in the camcorder or you can transfer to a computer or TV or any device which will allow you to view it using an SD card.

Sorry...I don't have a TV. I use my computer to download all my cable video entertainment from the internet and watch videos on my monitor. However, I'm sure you will need some kind of a portable "multimedia player" installed on the Toshiba hard drive to play audio/video files on a smart TV. I took a look at a LG TV and it had both 2.0 and 3.0 USB ports. So unless the TV has "multimedia player" capability of its own you are going to have to bring in this capability from the Toshiba hard drive. You might want to take a look at DVico's Slim S1 [combo hard drive & multimedia player...] this unit connects usb/hdmi to a TV.

Thanks, John. Now if only I had pockets big enough both to purchase the S5 IS *and* to hold its bulk. :-/ So I guess I'm still wondering: Just what the heck IS the reason none of the pocket-size digi-cams seem to allow zooming in video mode? Too expensive? Too noisy? Simply not possible due to some technical constraint? If anyone has a good answer, I'd still like to know. Thanks for the good discussion so far...

I agree I need a SD player which can plug into any hdtv. I've read toshiba has developed a 32 gb SD card. It would be nice if Sony, Panasonic or someone else would build players which accepts the SDHC cards and plays all the different video formats.
