"Hi, did you use Vado? If so - make sure you are running the latest firmware I linked to earlier. It does improve things a lot. I happened to use both Vado and the Flip (you love it, right?) and on PC Vado works seamlessly. Unlike Flip with its rather cumbersome software that does not even allow saving clips (WTF?) And the best part is I am not getting "Video Playback Failed" message, which was a standard message with the Flip. And made it unusable in the end. I hear you can use Vado with Mac as well - it mounts as a mass storage device and from her you simply copy videos into Movie Maker and do whatever you want with them. Youtube compresses too much, I think and it really should default to high quality playback. If you play e.g. this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lhc-6XC2E4 In standard and then in High Quality there is a massive difference. (Shot with Vado, should you ask)"
