Re: [PLUG] Flip video on Ubuntu Netbook

[Art Alexion <arthur@alexion.com>]

I considered transcoding, but I was hoping for something just plug and
play for her.  The Flip has a built in usb port.  When you plug it
into Ubuntu, it offers to open with f-spot, which would be perfect if
f-spot handled videos.

So, you think it is the Atom which is the bottleneck?
