Need GoPro help

I downloaded my GoPro footage on to my laptop today and it won't play clear unless I play it on fast forward. When you play it normal speed it looks like it's getting interference or something. Kind of looks like your tv screen does with direct tv or dish when it rains. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? I got a class 10 32gb as card. It will play fine on my phone through the GoPro app

I use GoPro Studio with my video and have not had any issues other then the sound not coming through but I am sure that's something I did. Is it possible the video card on your laptop cannot handle the go pro video?

That's a possibility Ross it's about 3 yrs old

I would take a very small clip (30 sec) and upload it on to the Youtube and see how it looks. That might tell you if it's the camera (which seems unlikely if it looks OK on your phone) or it's your laptop.

Thank Ross I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

I recently purchased a GP2 and was wanting to get some spare cards and wanted to know what all kinds of cards and sizes I can use? Class and gb.

Could be your card mine called for a 64 GB card

Well I changed the settings on the camera to 720p from the factory settings (not sure what it was set on) and took a ride down the road in the car to record at speed and it works fine on the computer now.

I think factory setting are 1080/60fps. I know I dialed my setting back to 1080/30fps to allow for that fancy slow motion stuff.

I'll give that setting a try next and see how it works.

Thanks for the information

Thanks for the info Ross, yea I found class 10s for same price as class 4s so I figured that was the way to go right.

The great thing about forums like this is you seem like you know what you are talking about even if all you are doing is a little copy/paste magic. I am as new to the GoPro as many of you...we are learning together!

Good information
