[ale] looking for a truly Linux friendly camcorder

[Jeremy T. Bouse]

	I have to agree with Robert (I wonder where he got the idea to get a
flip for his wife)... I've had no problems with the Flip UltraHD I
purchased... Linux sees the device as a standard USB mass storage device
and can just copy the video over and play with Gstreamer.
