Introduction

Digital video has become extremely popular with websites like YouTube. With YouTube anyone can upload a video and make it viewable to the world in minutes. YouTube makes it easy for you, but most digital cameras do not. For one some digital cameras only let you take 30-second clips and the usually they are in some weird format that only your camera software can read. So you have to have some knowledge and software to convert the video. Pure Digital, makers of the Flip Video decided to make things easier for you with a standalone digital camcorder that is extremely easy to use. Read on as we check out the Flip Video Ultra!
