Problems with Flip Cameras

I'm wondering how many other people have decided not to use the proprietary Flip software and tried to utilize with Windows Movie Maker? I have had very poor results with this. I find that I get the dreaded red X. I contacted Flip and was told that they were working on the problem.

Did you load the software on your computer?

We got it to work, but I'll have to go back and figure what we did to get around it. It's been too long! :-(

Where do you get the dreaded red X? I think we had that problem and it was because our firewall was blocking the site. It could be that.

This only seems to happen whenever I go to the import function for Movie Maker.

I use the Flip software to download from the camera and then save the file to my computer. I then import the file into Windows Movie Maker. Have had great success this way.
