We’ve gotten a few questions for people who have the Flip video camera (which we love!) but have had problems getting the codec to make the video run properly on the desktop. To get this, connect the camera to your desktop and run the Flip video program that is on the camera once, which will load the load 3ivx codec that you need.
Also, if you have the new Flip Ultra, we highly recommend installing the firmware upgrade if you haven’t already.
