Thanks, Thats the kind of shit I play when I'm sitting on the couch watching tv.
I like the way it sounds in the middle position. Full humbucker is a bit over saturated and full single is kind of thin and squealy, but the middle is kind of a sweet spot for that guitar. Also the duncan wire diagram showed a 250k pot for the splitter and I used a 500k. I'm not sure if that effects the sound that much though.

i'm afraid of filling up the memory too quick, etc....
I got the ultra. It holds an hour of recording time and has a timer that shows you how much space is left. If the mino had been available I would have got that instead. The ultra runs on 2 AA batteries and the mino can be recharged via usb.
For the videos I only used the internal mic for all the talking parts. The rest was done in a multi track program that I had to sync the video to.
What format etc did you upload to Youtube? The onboard Youtubin' programme and Windows Movie Maker just end up making things pixelly for me, no matter what size etc I save the vid as..
I'm at work and you tube is blocked, so I can't see yer vid till I get home.
I've been using a program called Vegas for all my multi tracking the past 10 years or so and I upgraded to Vegas Video even though I had never used the video portion before. The problem is that the flip records xvid files that my video program doesnt read so I convert them to mpegII. I do all the editing in mpegII format then render the whole project as a wmv file to upload to you tube. It's not as big of a pain in the ass as it seems and Vegas Video is a powerful editing program. I'm sure there is easier way, I just havent found it.
Don't think so, unless there's a firmware patch or something- the unit has like 5 buttons, and the programme is hella basic (but nice lookin').
The Flip records 30FPS VGA in high bitrate XviD;
Hmm, weird. It's definately AVI on mine. Unless XviD is a type of AVI..

+1 to sony vegas, it's simple but can be pretty powerful.
Windows Movie Maker uses sucky compression so you get those 8 x 8 'checkerboard' blocks all over the place. You can't really alter the compression in WMM as far as I know since I've tried before, but try and make sure you export a 320x240 WMV video, seems to work best.
Edit: Also XviD is a form of AVI compression, in my experience XviD at lower compression settings looks arse, has those blocks all over.

Vegas is free *nudge nudge*
I still use movie maker when I don't want to spend too much time doing something, I'm sure there are decent free video editors out there but movie maker does what I need it to.

Weird thing is, the raw AVI and the Movie Maker'D file look fine on the pc.. I guess Youtube just HATES me.
I'm gonna try sticking an AVI on my pc and just uploading it raw, one Youtube guy I found had done that will ok results.
They do a "watch in high quality" mode on newer vids (link by the bottom of the vid screen), I guess they're trying to cut down on bandwidth, but still give you the option.
