What is the best flip cam?

I have a Flip video cam, and memory on the cam has just seemed to have disappeared, what did i do wrong?

• First of all I have a Macintosh, and when I went to download my videos from my Flip cam I went into the folder called DCIM and when I went into that folder I saw all of my video's. So I just created a new folder with these video's in it, and moved it to my Desktop. Later when I went to use my Flip cam again, I saw that I only had a mere 5 minutes to record things. Is there a way to fix this, or did I totally screw up my camera?

Connect your camcorder to your computer and open your DCIM/100VIDEO folder. This folder contains the videos from your Flip Video camcorder. When your videos are manually renamed within this folder, they are no longer recognized by the Flip Video program. Please ensure that all videos in this folder are carrying their original name. For example, VID#####.AVI where ##### is any number between 00001 and 99998. Then, delete all videos you have previously saved from this folder. Your videos cannot be retrieved once they are deleted, so please make sure you have the videos you wish to keep saved into another folder before doing this. Also make sure you have deleted any videos that reside outside of the DCIM/100VIDEO folder within your camcorder's root directory. After you have deleted all videos, disconnect your camcorder and check on your record time. If you have still not regained your full record time, please reconnect your camcorder and empty your "trash can". Then, power your camcorder on and off 8 times." I sure hope cisco can fix this POS.
