[Hidden-tech] FLIP Cam trouble

[Shel Horowitz]

Not really my expertise, but I do have a couple of ideas:

   - Since you can see the camera as a drive when it's connected via USB,
   try copying the entire contents of the drive to the computer, even if you
   can't see them. They might show on the destination device and if they
   don't, they might e findable in a search for file type (especially within
   an app rather than within the operating system
   - If there's a Save As, Share, or Duplicate option on the Flip, you may
   be able to open the individual file from the camera and copy it to the
   destination device

If you don't get useful responses on list, I believe both Tom Adams of
Reellife and Steve Unkles whose company name in Florence escapes me at the
moment are members of the list--and they would have the skills. You could
track them through public channels.
