GO PRO ISSUES

[shortie171]

So I recorded some of the races from the 2nd round on my go pro hero 3 and when I go to load them on youtube it says it's going to take 600-700 or more minutes to download. I tried a couple times now but even after the 6-700 minutes it never finishes processing. I recorded them in the 1080 option on the gopro. My thoughts are I need to record in a lower option like 780. I know a lot of racers are using the gopro so let me know what is working for you guys/gals so I can get these online too.


Thanks

I recorded on a Gopro Hero 1 in 780 and it told me the same thing 600-700 minutes to upload it to youtube so I gave up on it.

Set it to 720, the video's still turn out crystal clear at 32 or 64 frame rate

720 on the GoPro to watch at home on HDTV looks great.

Then for YouTube or other uploads, I use iSkysoft Video Converter or Handbrake to trim it down to a smaller size for uploads.

avidemux is an excellent, simple, free program that makes trimming and re-encoding GoPro footage to a more manageable size rather easy. I usually record in 720p and then use avidemux to 1) trim the video without any loss in quality whatsoever then 2) re-encode to 2000 kbit/s or so using the average bitrate (2 pass) setting. The second step takes some time depending on how powerful your computer is, but the resulting video is usually 1/4 the size of the original and thus takes 1/4 of the time to upload. For the purposes of youtube, the video generally looks just fine.
