Customer Review: Flip Camera's Dirty little secret.
Summary: 2 Stars
I asked this question over a month ago(using the flip customer service email) and never got a response. Here we go again:
That is: Why is it that when I send someone a video using the flip software, that a short time later, the video EXPIRES!?? What an annoying surprise that was! I made some short 'how to set up' videos to include with emails I send to customers, and I started getting complaints that when they clicked on the thumbnails to open the video segments they got the 'video expired' message.
I love this camera...and would like to keep using it and sending videos...except now that I know they are DOOMED to expire(unlike the many videos I have sent via other cameras and software)I have not used it since. Why would I want to take a video with a camera with software that will do THAT to the videos I need to send? I thought that when a person received a video that it was their decision whther to keep it or get rid of it. Seems like the Flip software makes that decision 'for' us...and NOWHERE in the info with the camera is there any mention of this.
So... 12 video segments i had done with the flip; sent only to have them expire...had to be redone with my sharp camcorder; resent. I was not real happy about that. neither were my customers who had to wait for me to have the time to redo what was sabotaged by Flip software.
Please explain why videos sent in emails expire? What is the reason for this...I just don't get it. It felt like a 'dirty trick' when my videos started disappearing from others ability to view what I had sent to them.
I have A Flip 30 min(Ultra) and was going to buy my girlfriend a 60 minute, until I learned(the hard way)about this, what I would call a major flaw (or at least a negative irony to the 'convenience' this camera is sold as offering) in the overall consideration of this video camera. Too bad...because otherwise it is great(except the stop record button which works about half the time).
I notice your 800 number in the info I got with the camera is no longer valid and no new one is listed for me to call. So I am emailing again. I am hoping that I get an answer this time?
I am posting this to a few forums and if I get an answer I will be happy to post that as well.
look fwd to your response.
thanks.
