having trouble

By: chillerdecks January 13, 2010

no I had it moving to video mode alright and the three shot burst mode looks quite different then the little camera. the card just wasn't fast enough. you need a class 4 or 6. I ended up with a 4gb class 6, it was the only class 6 I could find. still having trouble editing. I know you can convert the files but it seems like such a pain.

i'm gonna say you were probably in three shot burst mode.

Looks like all my troubles were from everything but the camera. Once I got a good card it worked as it should. I had problems viewing the clips though and in editing them. mpeg4 seems to be giving my avs editing software fits. I can upload the footage directly to the web but every time I try and work with the clips its choppy. I've read others having this same problem. As far as using it goes the thing is great. It stores easily in a pocket and I just use the head band. Feels like one of those old petzl headlamps. It a lot less hassle free then the lipstick cameras. the video has turned out great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpICEkSknQE

ok I've switched sd cards and the camera is recording now but the video jumps a bit, seems to miss a frame and doesn't flow. does this mean the card that I'm using still isn't the best for the job its a film pro 2gb sd card. I emailed your support link on wed but with the holidays I haven't heard back yet. I like the versatility of the camera but it still has a few aspects that aren't working as I had hoped. Lets hope I can get it ironed out. thanks Mark

Hi Mark, This is likely either a problem with your SD card or your SD card is a make/model that doesn't work well with the HD HERO. Almost all major brand cards CLASS 4 or 6 work perfectly with the camera: Kingston, Sandisk, Patriot, etc. all work well. A Kingston Class 6 SD card is the card of choice...and is a low cost card. You do not need a crazy fast card to work with the camera. Certain off-brand cards are unreliable and even some of the super high speed cards can act up...there's no reason to use a faster card than Class 6. If you have an questions please reach us through this page http://www.goprocamera.com/contact and we'll help you further. We'll get it sorted so that you're experience is money just like the rest of these guys - GoPro Support
