Went out for a great ride on Saturday afternoon. Glorious day, bike was all shiny, first proper ride of the season for me. I thought I'd try out my GoPro Hero 4 for the first time (the cheap £99 one). After spending lots of time faffing with mounts and viewing angles (the cheap one doesn't have an LCD screen). Popped in my new Sandisk Ultra 32GB microSD card and off I went. After a 2 hour ride, I stopped the recording. Has a great ride. Was really looking forward to seeing what the footage was like. I connected the GoPro to the PC on Sunday night and it has split the footage into 2GB .mp4 files (7 in all - I assume that's normal). When I tried to open the first one "Windows Media Player does not recognise this file". So I tried through GoPro Studio software. Won't even import. And it's the same of the other 6 files also. I've tried a few video repair programs and other players but nothing will work. Gutted to say the least. No idea what has happened. I've copied over the files to the PC just in case and reformatted the SD card now in the GoPro so hoping that my second attempt is a little more successful. Anyone else had a problem with seemingly corrupt gopro video files?
Windows media player only plays a certain amount of files before needing codecs, which you can download
Yeah - tried VLC. Even that can't play 'em. Tried a few different players and editing tools. I think they're screwed right royally. Oh well - it's an excuse to get out for a couple of hours again
Strange one that, I have the Go pro 4 black and had a few issues. One with my older sony laptop not being man enough for 1080p 80FPS http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/...1504276&mid=38735&nmt=Go+pro+and+older+laptop But works fine on my new Mac. The other that the Black needs 4k Memory cards to be able to write 4k. I used a ultra Scandick card and needed to get extreme 4k cards. £35 from costco for 64gig. Also mine records in 4gig parts and i've not changed or altered this so much be a little different from the one you have. But for the go pro software or VLC not recognising the video that is strange. When you have the clips on the laptop what does it say they are recorded in? MPEG4?
