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. <br> <br> 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. post:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.121320 Tue, 05 May 2009 11:04:00 -0800 muckster video pc software flip picasa flipshare lightroom http://ask.metafilter.com/121320/Alternatives-to-FlipShare-for-Managing-Video-on-a-PC#1736012 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. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.121320-1736012 Tue, 05 May 2009 21:07:14 -0800 muckster
