The Creative Vado HD and the Flip Mino HD are great. A portable tiny device that records videos in HD (720p).

720p is not the full 1080 HD, but it's fairly good quality and more than enough for web usage, most of the websites only support so much (YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion). Imagine you would like to edit the footage, using a non linear video editing program such as iMovie, Premiere, Cinelerra or even better Final Cut Pro, there is immediately a problem: you can't get the footage work out of the box, some tweaking is required.

There are many ways to solve this issue and get usable working files, I will illustrate the most effective method I found, as well as the easiest.
