How to Update Flip Video Files
Pure Digital Technologies revolutionized video when it launched the Flip video camera in 2006. The Flip was different from anything on the market: It was small, portable and easy to use. The bulky standard video cameras were overshadowed by the innovation of the Flip. Pure Digital continues to update the Flip and to come out with newer models that boast more memory space and longer recording time. Owners of the Flip camera can update the internal Flip files so the camera is working at optimal capability.
