Re: Flip Cameras on PC Network

I prefer to use the Flips as a USB drive. Anyone who can attach and
download from a USB drive should be able to the same with the Flip - just
skip the Slip software. As for the file format, I use a software called
Prism (NCH Software) - free download should do it. Hope this helps,
Ann
