Gopro people - please help!

[GregorJP]

Mike, I've used a GoPro for a couple of years on a PC and never had a problem. I just hook it up into the USB port, and either load it onto the laptop using Windows Explorer, or directly onto YouTube by navigating to the GoPro device as an external drive. I do this with 25 minutes + of footage. Using windows explorer to navigate to the drive is the easiest way, I find.

I won't bore you with the tribulations I've had with VBox video...

Thanks for all the tips in this thread cos the same thing annoys me too. I will try handbrake and imovie tonight

Mike when I had a PC I used to open the files in Windows Movie Maker. Edit it (you don't have too) then save as HD and it reduced the file size by over half

I'll give everything a go and report back .

The "Handbrake" software has reduced the size down to 556MB (down from 3.3GB), so fingers crossed it will upload this time (245mins to wait to see if it is successful :supz: ).

I've also tried the Windows Movie Maker and that cut it to 59MB, but it lost a huge amount of quality (although I may have saved it wrong, as I couldn't find the HD format, so saved it as the best version to play on the computer), along with making the image squashed (again was probably me not selecting the correct "size" - but that is because I had no idea what to set it to LOL).

[Graham]

It's been a while but there should be a drop down menu to select what quality to save it at,but you've done it now anyway :-D

This is what I wanted to upload :

Nice driving, Mike. Nice to see someone at a DN event who doesn't ride right up the arse of the car in front and hassle them to get by. Equally, that guy in the 911 with the orange stripe spent the whole of Tuesday getting in my way and not moving over.

Car sounds nicer than mine - which exhaust are you running?

For my personally experience, the best format for a video file to be in for quality size perspective is MP4. They are usually 25% of the size of the AVI files and can maintain the same quality.

I always use AppGeeker video converter to to reduce the file size of my GoPro videos manually.

You can go and give it a try.

Thanks .

As they said - it's supposed to be overtaking by consent and I know what it was like my first few times there - plus I don't want to damage my car or anyone elses . We're all there to have a bit of fun and learn a bit more about the track .

I was a little bit more forceful with the Aston, as he was on slicks and with it all being caged up, I assumed he was a racing driver giving laps (as he was using the old pits as well).

It's a full Supersprint "race" system from the headers back - sounds even nicer from the outside (50s onwards) :
