Discount Creative Labs Vado HD 720p Pocket Video Camcorder with 8 GB Video Storage and 2x Digital Zoom (Black)

I'm not going to repeat all that has been said previously. Couple of things that might be helpful.

1. Slow playback on PC: The requirements listed here mention Intel Pentium III 1 GHz, AMD Athlon, or equivalent with MMX support. However, the FAQ on the Creative site states you need Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHZ or equivalent for playback on the computer. I've got an AMD Athlon 64 x2 (dual core) 4200+ and I do notice lag in video, especially when playing through Windows Media Player. The lag is basically unnoticeable in the Vado player itself. If you got a dual core AMD you are probably going to be OK.

The way around it (besides upgrading your motherboard and CPU) is to switch from HD+ to HD or use the Vado player. You can also import the video into .wmv with 1280x720 size using the Vado soft. No issues playing back the .wmv.

2. Playstation 3 playback: Convert the video into .wmv and it looks great on your PS3.

Four stars for not using a more universal mp4 format (like the competition) that you can play in ps3 amongst other things without going through an extra step.Get more detail about Creative Labs Vado HD 720p Pocket Video Camcorder with 8 GB Video Storage and 2x Digital Zoom (Black).
