how about a straight answer(no merits of youtube or T-shirt adv.) With just me, my computer(windows XP), my internet provider and the software that comes with camera can I download the video?

I have Windows XP and half speed DSL because we're in a rural area. With just the Flip software, I can download video to my computer, save it reduced for emailing as an attachment later on my desktop, burn them to dvd, edit them, use the six different Flip programs for making a movie with their effects or use the saved unreduced version on my computer for Windows Moviemaker. I haven't upgraded to the new Flip program because I like the original one, but that's the only unwanted thing that pops up for me each time I plug it in to the computer. I always click on "remind me later" so that I can stay with the original program.

I know this sounds crazy, but what do you have to turn the camera to to download to the computer?

The system can be accessed through a web interface with IE and does not have an OS requirement. There is an application that you can install and I do believe that is compatible but this is for saving and converting video.

You have to watch it through the Internet Explorer . YouTube is not a download on their market .

To those recommending youtube, even if you have fast internet, the streaming can get in the way of picture quality. I'd suggest downloading the clips on a computer to a USB and plugging that into the TV. That way you're seeing the video as it's intended and it is amazing.

As far as I know, you can. If you can get to the website, it should stream as long as you do not need a special video player. I have streamed You-tube videos with no problem.

It came with software, but I haven't tried uploading to youtube. I have however burned to a DVD.

I'm not real clear on what Mark is asking. This is strictly a camera and there are no options to connect to YouTube, etc. I record on the Flip and then use a USB cable to export to my computer; then it can be put on YouTube, if desired. If this doesn't help, I'll be glad to answer further.

No. You have to download the software from their site to view it on your computer. I just use the web viewer. This camera is junk tho. It works when it wants to then it constantly drops the internet connection.

Yes you can download to your computer with a usb cable. I can't speak on the WIFI, I haven't used that feature. A usb cable does not ship with this camera. The cable you will need is: USB 2.0 A To Mini B - (5 Pin) or should work. If you buy this camera take the time to browse the instruction book that comes with it, you should be fine.Tripp Lite USB 2.0 Hi-Speed A to Mini-B Cable (A to 5Pin Mini-B, M/M) 3-ft.(U030-003)

No not really, but any video can produce a picture with the right software application, if ya know what I mean.

that depends. you can see or download any video in itunes if you want, and they all have good quality, but apparently you have to pay for that. but if you just want to see online, you just need plug-in component or some free soft ware to watch videos. hope these can help you. ^_^

It may be just me, but I rarely upload raw, straight video from camera to Youtube. I think every video could use a little clean up and editing before posting. Unless you have something earth shattering, take the time to make it look good. That said, I'm not sure if YouTube will take the native file format of this camera or not. The files are large - reason two for making edits and 'right-sizing' the files. You can make the files the best they need to be for whatever service you upload them to. Finally, I can confirm, without a doubt that this camera does not have the ability to do a wireless file transfer. Good luck!

No Web Cam on this old war horse. Remember that Windows XP will be obsolete in April 2014..

If your camera can be hooked up to a TV and you can play back video from it, then yes. But it's not as simple as downloading, you have to capture the video with the software, basically playing it back using the included software on your computer and recording that. The resulting file can be edited and burned to DVD.

I would think that you could, if you have the right laptop, and or computer. My problem is finding the software to download, I have a 64 bit os. If someone can help me with that, I would appreciate it. :)

I upload it to my computer and then, straight to youtube. But, I don't think you can do it straight from the camcorder to youtube without plugging it in.
