Learning How to Work This Bad Boy!

Since Thursday, I have been trying to figure out the Flip Ultra HD.  On Friday when we filmed my ultrasound, the Flip kept showing a low battery, so we kept plugging it in (it charges by the USB on a computer).  Finally on Saturday (after some internet research), I find that we are not the only ones that have had trouble with the Flip Ultra HD.  There are charging difficulties with it.  Here are the directions I followed to make it work (It took 7 hours to charge fully).

If your battery pack is not charging properly, please try the following (go here to see e-user001, the smarty that figured it all out!):
1) remove the battery pack from the camcorder
2) connect the camcorder to a powered USB port on your computer
3) when the "Connected" indicator comes on, insert the battery pack into the camcorder
4) safe eject your camcorder from your computer
5) reconnect your camcorder to your computer
6) the battery pack should now begin to charge within the camcorder

We look forward to using it. What do you do with all your videos? Do you edit them or post them to YouTube?
