Gopro people - please help!

**Mike R** · 17-08-2013, 07:03 PM

I've recently started using my Gopro for videos instead of my Flip and am having problems uploading the clips on to YouTube. With my Flip, all you do is down load it from the camera straight to the computer and from there you can just upload it directly to YouTube.

I've tried doing the same to the Gopro vids and it keeps coming up with an error message (after spending 8 hours uploading each time). I have tried saving it as both an AVI and an MOV file and it makes no difference, I get the same error message each time (that it has failed to upload due to being the incorrect format). It is only a 9 minute video and has been run through the Gopro software to "invert" it and save it in "medium", which makes it 3.3GB.

So what am I doing wrong / what to I need to do to be able to upload it?

Please help LOL!

It's all to do with the "angle of dangle"

It has to be a file format which is supported, so it may need to be converted, before uploading. Good luck!

As you can see, both MOV and AVI files are supported....

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...

Can you tell me what you have to do to the file from the Gopro to allow it to be uploaded? Just confused as to why it can't be loaded directly?

If u send it to me ill upload it for you

I find Vimeo simpler but the file size is poss what YouTube is moaning about, you may have to reduce quality
