Flip HD Won't Return to Full 60-minutes-Recycle Bin Doesn't Work
I have the same problem that others have posted regarding the Flip not returning to full 60-minutes after you upload them. I am reposting as a new thread because I have tried all the advice on this site and even on the Flip support page, to no avail.
I have deleted everything from the Flip, connected to the PC and deleted the recycle bin. I even turned it on and off 8 times like the Flip site suggests. Still my camera shows 38 minutes available and if you go to Windows Explorer, shows 1.36GB used even though I can only see about 100MB of data. (I have my PC set to view hidden files and there is nothing there).
Is there anyway to reset or reformat the hard drive? Somehow take it back to factory settings?
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Don't know if you ever found your solution, but check out this page - http://manitouheights.com/2009/09/03/flip-mino-ultra-camera-video-show-correct-time-remaining/.
I've also discovered that you shouldn't click on the little box to erase the videos after transferring them to your computer. That's what seems to screw up the timer.
