Flip Mino

[Mark Goodson]

This Flip Mino sure is impressive, and I'm sure will be very useful, but what passes for a user manual is sketchy to say the least.
The makers have a comprehensive telephone advisory service, operating is seems from the middle east, which spends a lot of time demanding the minutest detail about the camera, when it was bought etc.,etc., though it does refrain from demanding the name of your grandmother's second cousin twice removed, but obviously reluctantly, by which time tea's ready. It also has an e-mail advice centre who also demand great detail, then they send a confirmation demanding more detail with a reference number to be quoted on all correspondence, but it then goes to sleep, eventually very politely warning that if you don't reply the enquiry will be discarded, so the answers to their questions are repeated simply using the 'reply' facility, but despite asking for a receipt confirmation they obviously don't get the message, so you're back where you started. Anyway the result is that I've spent some time trying to fathom out the system to the extent that I can now generate a 'snap' from a video, but am at a loss as to the procedure for printing that snap. I have sent an e-mail to myself successfully, but only the complete video was downloaded onto the other computer, not the snapshot.
Any ideas??
Cheers,
Mark

If you "generated" a snap, were you able to save it to your computer? While I'm not familiar with their specific software, a snapshot implies a separate file, saved separately. Does your "My Documents\My Pictures\" directory have a Minio subdirectory it copies files to?

Thanks for the thoughts Jon, and no I hadn't thought of trying to save the snap to the computer but I'll have a try to do so today and report!
Cheers,
Mark.
