The Flip MinoHD is the most recent product from Pure Digital Technologies, a pretender company that has turned the video recorder market on its head with its family of digital video recorders.
The Flip idea is easy - a miniscule, handheld video camera reduced to its essentials. As compact as an iPod, it has no tapes and wishes no FireWire it records to integrated flash memory, pops a USB jack out the top, and mounts on your Mac's desktop with standard MPEG-4 video files ready to use.
The MinoHD's industrial design is largely unchanged from the Mino. It's miniscule, smooth, and black ; and the controls are ludicrously simple. Press the power button on the side, and the little, highres screen on the back lights up. Press the big red button on the back to start recording ; press it again to stop. Four seconds after taking it out of your pocket, you're recording HD video.
The MinoHD packs about 60 minutes of 720p video into its 4 GB of flash memory. 720p HD is 1280 pixels wide and, of course, 720 pixels tall. Consider that the 13'' MacBook's screen is 1280 by 800 pixels. The MinoHD's video fills that screen from side to side and virtually top to bottom with pointy, prime quality video. It's quite striking ; a commercial DVD ( which must be upscaled ) looks fuzzy in contrast.
Unlike a DV tape, the bitrate is variable depending on the source material. This means precise recording time might be more or less than an hour. The specification list explains it records at nine Mbit / sec, but the majority of our recordings were 10 to 10.4 Mbit / sec. Video is encoded employing the same H.264 scheme used by HDTV. ( Unlike earlier Flips, you don't need to install a special codec to play the videos).

If you look at the entire picture, you notice
the gaming industry being a factor only in a short time period, since the 70’s.
It took them around a decade until they made a name for themselves, and people
started to know who companies like Nintendo were.
The times of the games where you ate mushrooms and stomped turtles are long
gone now. They were great times for the game industry, as it exploded and
