I don't know if Rob G knows much about video, but he's absolutely right
about parenting.

3rd-grade kid or corporate client, you have to learn to face the
consequences of your mistakes, so as to get your S@#$% together for
life. Ultimately, this is way more important, and you will be a real
hero by not indulging the son with this rescue fantasy of yours. And
to show I walk it like I talk it, I had my 9-year old daughter pull
this on me the other day, off from school 4 days and a weekend for the
holidays, forgot her project was due first day back. Tough darts, I
told her, school is your only job, and you have to be responsible. I
let her be late a day, told her I'd help her with the make-up work if
she got her head screwed on straight, took her lumps at school, and
brought home all the materials and did the groundwork on her own.
Ultimately, she respects her work and herself more if you don't do it
all for her. Without learning these coping skills early, our kids will
be easy prey to all manner of future problems.


Oh, video wise, each of those still cams tends to only recognize it's
own naming conventions for files, so if you want to transfer something,
save it with the same name as an existing file in the target machine.
That has worked for me.
