Can anyone assist me in getting my precious holiday videos off my Vado HD? The USB connector is the only way I previously have gotten the files off, however the connector is such a poor design it has broken, exposed wires after only using a handful of times. I have alreayd gotten an RMA for it but dont want to send it away as they said that the hard drive will be erased during repair!
It does have a HDMI out but my video card only has one DVI cable and thats currently in use for my monitor. I have 4 HDMI slots on my TV but no way of capturing the video from there on. I dont want to try jiggling the USB any more as I dont want to damage it futher!

Thanks for the link. From the specs and size, it does look it could likely be flash memory. Which could be almost any form factor and might not have any standard connections.
If true, that means that the only way to get the data off is via HDMI as MajorDarkside suggested or somehow trying to finagle the USB connector or try to through yourself on the mercy of the company.
From what I can tell, HDMI input is not a common feature on DVD recorders, I don't see any that have it. Some computer cards do, and they are expensive. You might be able to find a specialty video shop, the kind that you give your old tapes to and they make DVDs - that sort of place. One of them might have a computer or device with HDMI input and be able to record the video for you.
Or you could get a electrical repair person to solder a USB connector on to the broken wires or to the parts inside to recover the files. But that would very likely void the warranty.

HDMI to component/audio cables to the DVD recorder.

Yasha is in Alice Springs. Factor in the higher Australian prices and the remote location (free shipping is almost unheard of) and the price could be inline
Actually I am at Ayers Rock/Yulara, 500km away from Alice Springs Anything I need to purchase has to be online and shipped. Shipping is atrocious out here as we are considered extremely remote. Nearest shop that isnt a supermarket or souvenir shop is 500km away..
Thought you were in Alice. I must have driven right by where you live when I was there Australia winter 07 (July). We were at Uluru, Kata Tjuta/The Olgas, and Kings Canyon - and the Mereenie Loop.
