I bought one the other day, from Creative. Other than crashing w2K every couple times, it works fine..

My complaint is that it came with these five or six bizarre codecs that seem to record movies exactly the same no matter what you set the framerate to. I capture an avi at 15fps, I get a jerky movie that updates every second or so, yet contains fifteen times as many frames as it's length in seconds. Further, it gives the same filesize (about 700K for 10 sec) whether I film an empty room or me jumping around-- as if it isn't even comparing one frame to the next. the hell?

Of course there is also the uncompressed option, which looks great and is 50-60mb for ten seconds.

So what am I doing wrong? I mean besides not posting this in teh tech section.
