Let me ask you, what was the video taken on, then what was the program you used to get it from the source onto your computer?

It's in MP4 format off of a GoPro HD camera....ended up being 1.47 Gb in size and 17 min 28 sec in length....I transfered it onto the hard drive with the camera tethered via USB port (took 3.5 minutes), but one can also install it directly off of the SD card into computer SD port....it plays fantastic on BLR's laptop (windows 7 OS) thru Windows Media Player....beautiful picture....was told that GoPro recommends using vimeo.com, but their free hosting seems limited like Photobucket free version is also...500Mb, 1 HD upload per week etc....

With the popularity of larger files from HD vids coming on, it seems that the hosts are going to be falling short.....that was the first one we shot to see if the camera worked, so from now on, guess we'll shoot more, smaller files....just a learning experience that bigger files become non-manageable to share with others....I will change the settings on the camera to take lesser-quality picture and run another 17 minute ride and see what the file size ends up being....just got to monkey with the settings and learn....

But bottom line, I recommend this GoPro HD camera kit to all.....plenty of options for mounting, waterproof, durable looking and a HD picture that no one will be dissappointed with....It's a top-end setup IMO......Lance
