Yeah, I've done the same thing with slowing it down by 50%. and I like it. Check out that USC video though at 1:33. Twixtor allows for a slow down and frame interpolation that looks like the freak'n Matrix.

I like it. 8) How do I get this in my Vegas?

i'm really impressed with the GoPro image stability you guys are getting. i have a "less expense" brand and it is so shaky it is almost unwatchable.

How is the sound?

I'm actually pretty impressed with the sound. The camera comes with 2 'doors' for the case. One is completely sealed for waterproofness. The other is open in the back to improve sound quality. I always use the fully closed back because I worry about moisture. But even with that the sound is pretty good. I don't have many videos with speaking to give as an example. But here's one shot at Bretton Woods a few weeks ago that is a good example of ambient noise.

BTW: the red tint, scratches, and reflections are not a GoPro issue. I had it inside my goggles to give it a POV effect.

Got a GoPro for Christmas this year. Took it out on it's maiden voyage today at Sundown. I haven't put together a video yet, but I was impressed with the clips I watched on the TV when I got home.

I had some problems with the camera locking up, which I thought may be due to the cold today, but I'm reading that it may be a compatibility issue with the memory card I'm using.

Give him a break...;) I know he doesn't have a good track record but he's spent a good deal of his vacation so far covering extra hours at Sundown--which is where he went at 6AM. I've barely even seen him lately!

Our camera that it was filmed on was broken for a while. Not entirely his fault since he needed it to transfer the footage from mini DV to the computer...

I am in the process of transferring hours and hours of older home movies from mini dv to computer-- it is a PITA and quite slow-- I can relate. I have been trying to edit some of it (using powerdirector) and put it in movie format to burn to DVD-- as I am tech challenged to say the least, it has been a long and frustrating challenge.

I've been trying to use the Windows Movie Maker for Windows 7... What a disappointment that program is over the version that I was used to using on XP. It's a piece of crap.

interesting, i've been trying to get a PC with that on it cuz i heard it was better, especially for importing formats not supported on the XP version.

Sony Vegas 9+
Adobe Premier (I couldn't get it to work)

Someone just told me that Cyberlink's Power Director 9 should also work, but I haven't tried that yet.
