In trying to figure out the best way to get video from the Flip Mino-HD
(-note: this camcorder produces .mp4 files -- not the .avi files of
other Flips-) into Windows Movie Maker, I've been messing with the
Windows Media Profiles used in FlipShare (the Flip Mino-HD's
auto-installing software.) There seems to be more to Windows Media
Profiles than meets the eye.

Here's my inexplicable experiment:


- Install FlipShare, either by plugging the camcorder in or by
installing a copy obtained from Pure Digital Technologies.
- Locate FlipShare's media profiles here: C:\Program Files\Pure
Digital Technologies\FlipShare\EncoderProfiles
- Save a copy of the encoder profiles to a different directory.
- Modify one of the original profiles.
- Overwrite the modified copy in FlipShare with the saved copy --
i.e., try to return it to its original values.
- *The 'over-written' copy doesn't seem to change back.*
- Delete the copy of the modified profile in FlipShare.
- Again, copy in from the saved copy.
- *The new copy reverts to values of the modified version I just
deleted.*

This isn't an issue of administrative privilege. I can go ahead and
modify the profile in FlipShare with Windows Media Profile editor, and
those changes stick.

Although there is some indication that Windows Media Video 9 makes use
of the registry (c.f.,

'[URL="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/codecadvancedsettings.aspx"]http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/codecadvancedsettings.aspx[/URL]'
([URL="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/codecadvancedsettings.aspx"]http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/codecadvancedsettings.aspx[/URL])
)
I can find no indication that the registry is being used to store my
modified values.

Can anyone suggest a reason this might be happening?

The simplest way to convert Flip HD ,mp4 videos into an acceptable Movie
Maker format is to do the following:

From FlipShare Menu
Select SHARE
Select ONLINE
Select OTHERS ...
A window will come up for you to select your video - or a batch of them.
Continue and follow the onscreen instructions.
FlipShare will create a folder on your drive and saves the selected videos
to the WMV format MM will accept.

Yup, that's the simplest way, but you have lost your HD resolution
unless you modify the Windows profile it's using. Without modifying the
profile, you get something like 640x360. I guess their thought was that
was safe for almost any 3rd party video sharing service.
