Alternatives to FlipShare for Managing Video on a PC

Can you recommend software for managing Flip videos on a PC?

I recently got a Flip MinoHD, but a) the built-in software refuses to work on my system and b) it's a little too simple, anyway.

I'm looking for something that will let me import, file, play, and tag the clips from the camera. Picasa 3 looked promising, but somehow, playback of the H.264 files stutters (according to the forums, this is a widespread problem.) Tagging is important to me, so FlipShare wouldn't do even if it worked.

Is there anything similar to Picasa or Lightroom for short movies that will work with the H.264 files produced by the MinoHD? Thanks much.

Response by poster: Actually, I've been toying with Picasa some more, and seems that it works as long as the camera isn't plugged in. FlipShare has to be installed; I guess it provides the codec. The full-screen still skips, but I have vlc for that. I'll have to import by hand but the tagging in Picasa is nice. Solved, I think -- unless somebody knows of a better solution.
