Ok, FINALLY, here is some Youtube video of a small ride I made about 2 weeks ago, using the new GoPro Hero HD. This video was shot in the 720P 60fps mode (for half speed editing) and a 16 x 9 format.
I just bought my dad a new Windows 7 PC (turned it on last night) and played the video using WMP without issue (still a big problem on a XP and VISTA machines). Man, it's CLEAR AS A BELL. You know how, when you watch some of those HD Cable channels of outdoor/nature stuff, you feel like you are looking out a window because it's so clear? Well, that's what this unedited output looks like. WOW! Can't wait to burn to DVD and try it on my TV!
I used a new Windows 7 version of Window's Movie Maker to edit. It also accepted .mp4 files natively (thank goodness finally!) and directly outputs to Youtube if you want it to (saves and uploads in one step). The finished product, in 16 x 9 is below. Go directly to Youtube and watch it there in HD mode. The resolution on Youtube is WAY lower than what the original looks like, but compare it to my other regular GoPro videos and you'll see a HUGE difference!
I am TOTALLY IMPRESSED with the GoPro Hero HD! Need some new skydiving video!
