Member Contributer Ripper Posted May 30, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 30, 2011 I've been using mine a lot but since I have a 64bit laptop, my choices on editing software is very limited. I could shoot myself for buying this thing.... Nobody supports it. Other than my PC... I'm loving the GoPro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripper, Sony Vegas has a 64bit version, but thier 32bit version works just fine for me under Win7 64bit. Its not cheap software mind you, unless you know how to get your hands on it from other places, if you know what I mean. But I know a lot of people that just use Window's built in video editing software, but it can't handle 1080p video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I read said no go for use on my machine. Oh well, just have to learn to use the Power Director like I did with paint.net... Trial and Error!

timmythecop Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 But I know a lot of people that just use Window's built in video editing software, but it can't handle 1080p video. when I researched the gopro, I realized that alot of folks have issues using 1080p, so they back it off to the highest setting that my non-HD hero uses. I save a few hundred bones that way and it works fine with windows moviemaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't have a picture of how you mounted the camera to take this video. would you? did you use the suction cup or what? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer tharkun Posted June 17, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 17, 2011 My HD GoPro got stolen off the floorboards of my truck at the track a couple of weeks back, along with my Garmin GSP276Map with Satellite system. Have to keep doors locked at race track from now on......even at small club events. Pissed me off big-time. New one got in today. Try again. Got the new battery back pack , screen & extra mounts & extra batteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I just bought a GoPro and it doesn't have a memory card(?). So anyway when I find one, what should I get, the battery last 2.5 hours? While I'm with out is there any thing the camera can do without the card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankoQ Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I just bought a GoPro and it doesn't have a memory card(?). So anyway when I find one, what should I get, the battery last 2.5 hours? While I'm with out is there any thing the camera can do without the card? 32 gigs is the max the gopro can take. I got a 16 gig and I found it works fine for a 1-2 hour ride. But i'd get the 32 gig and not worry about running out of space. In the mean time, go read the manual. the gopro operates on 2 buttons. get familiar with it now so you don't have to take it with you on your rides. I ended up buying the 2 backpacks: LCD and battery. LCD: makes it a lot easier for you to set up the camera and know you will have the right angle. Battery pack: while the gopro is eating its battery, I have the battery pack in my tail bag charging the other battery. when the gopro runs out of battery, I just swap them and the discharged battery is now charging. ( I have a 12v socket with a usb adapter from under the seat to the tail bag). On a multiday trip, you will never run out of battery. another thing you can do while you wait to get your memory card: I suggest you go to the gopro forum and start getting ideas for mount positions and home made mount devices. It's a nice toy. enjoy it and looking forward to see what you come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the GP at the Honda shop and they don't have any MC's(I'll call in the morning to be sure). Is there a reference # for a GP MC? Do the memory cards have to be for GP or not? Now to read the manual(many times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorGrits Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 You can get an SD card at best buy / wal-mart... anywhere with electronics... The manual says to get a class 4 or higher SD card so the gopro can write the data to the card fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 It's 3 in the morning, I was wondering if anyone on board now uses the "Windows Moviemaker" with their GoPro. If so, what's the best resolution that works with "WMM". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
