The fact that my video question has only been answered with photo answers, makes me wonder if there's a better video option. Any suggestions?

A little over a year ago we purchased three of these for business to run videos on a loop. They work very well for us. You do have to make sure the definition or size of the video is not too large or it will not run but other than that they work very well.

I don't know. I don't know how to do videos or if my camera even does it! Sorry.

A parent frantically told me her daughter was giving the promotion speech, and could I please record it and put it on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1PXPekr5qc Sorry for the wobbles in the beginning, I only had a monopod. I turned the color saturation up 20% using premium pro.I can tell you the camera is great outdoors, but without plenty of sunlight the video gets grainy. It also doesn't have the color richness of a 3 chip camera, such as the fx-1. Something blood-red on the fx-1 is a flat, boring red on the a1-u. You get what you pay for. I'd go for a used FX-1 instead of an A1u, but the latter is much easier to lug around to promotions.

I do however also want a decent video from it as well. It doesnt need to be the best but still pretty good.

Screengrabs from the video are excellent. The photo functionality itself is not good.

Well, I can tell you that Amazon's Unbox videos do not play on my Clix. Pity. I'll probably not use their service because of this. Videos for the Clix is still pretty much a DIY affair. You have to encode videos to a non-standard and very specific format. I haven't found any commercial videos that you can simply download and load, nor a service where you could easily upload, get conversion and download. I don't bittorrent nor pirate. As far as looking better than youtube videos, that's really an artifact of how the videos are prepared. I've converted home video taken at 480p (standard DVD resolution) and they look surprisingly good. Probably due to the Clix's good resolution for the screen size and the glossy screen. You know how good the resolution can be by the small size of the menu texts that are still legible and by quality of still photos. That said, the 15fps does hurt it some. In this respect you may find it looks like much of what is uploaded to YouTube by webcams. If you're looking to watch video content extensively, a media player with a bigger screen is probably for you. To show off a video clip of your kid's birthay party or little league home run, it is great. I put some in-car video from a race track experience on my Clix and was able to impress many I showed it to. They didn't seem put off by the small size. Being able to fit it in your pocket is a plus. All that said, my RAZR phone does nearly everything the Clix does, so I'm using it less.

I don't know guys, I still haven't figured it out. Reading thru other posts here is making me think I'm going to return this thing. I really thought I'd like it, but if I can't string together my video clips to burn to DVD, WHAT is the point? It doesn't seem you can ask this question at the Vado official site either w/out first entering all the numbers off the box it came in. What a pain, I don't carry the box around w/ me. They also do not have an 800# that I can find on the site to call. Frustrating! I wonder how many customers they are losing?

David, I'm sorry for just now seeing this question. We have not yet tried the video feature, but will do so this weekend and get back to you. Again, I am sorry that somehow this email didn't come to my attention until I was taking time to clean out my inbox.

Just film on screen and they provide you with how-to video links. I use these on my phone as well.

I have same question. My brother suggested I look for video on you tube. Haven't found one yet.

Not sure how that would help. It is not an issue of video quality. The problem is the zoom function stopped working. The zoom did work for two days, then quit working.

I haven't used video mode. I was playing only with photo options in the camera.

I didn't really know there was a video, sorry. It was pretty easy to do. Just follow the directions.

The board itself gives a little bit of instructions. What I did to try and understand the "abcd" was just open an envelope and it became clearer. The idea from Dave about looking for videos is a great one. Play around with cheap paper first.

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike
