Kodak PlaySport or Flip Video?

[GoofySon'sMom]

First let me say that I am completely electronically challenged! I am wondering about buying one of these for our upcoming Disney trip. My question is whether or not you can some how get a DVD that will play on a DVD player after taking the movies? If you take the memory card to a Kodak Kiosk, could you get that? Or only a DVD that 'stores' the video for use on the computer? If I upload the videos to my computer, is it super easy for me to make my own storage DVD?

I am not sure if I should buy one of these products or just bring our old camcorder. I don't want to lug it around all day but figured I could bring one day to capture some memories.

Thank you in advance for any help/advice, etc!

I bought the kodak playsport and LOVE it...SO easy to use and its waterproof. I haven't yet put anything on dvd, just on the computer so far, but I know that you are able to. It comes with software to upload it to youtube, facebook, email it, etc. I looked into both and the playsport got great reviews. I'm definitely bringing it to disney this summer, but I plan to bring our regular camcorder for certain things, like the electrical parade, etc. I wanted to not have to carry that around though, and this is the size of my phone and easy to use. I've taken some pretty good photos with it as well.

Thank you! I am leaning towards the Playsport ... just want to be sure I know as much as I can about it! How long do the batteries last while recording? I think I read that it will take AA's if you can't recharge right away?

I dont think it will take other batteries other than the rechargable one...its the flat square type battery. I bought an 8GB kodak memory card and it gets about an hour and a half on that if you record at the highest level. The battery.... I haven't used it for long periods of recording yet, but I want to say its lasted awhile, at least a few hours. I would think the memory card would fill up before the battery dies.
