Topic: Best way to mount a GoPro? Posted: 21 May 20 at 9:05am |
Just looking at getting some footage of the kids when we return to to the water in the near future.
Any thoughts on the best way of mounting a GoPro on an RS Feva or Tera?

Which GoPro?
If it's filmed in 4k, or 2.7k 60fps then it will use HVEC format, which won't play on media player.

Thanks for your attempted help. I needed the latest version of quick time player to work with the latest update for windows 10. Turns out camera does have microphone just had the sound turned down low.

Most MP4 or quicktime (MOV) files should play on media player. These are 'container' types which house the video information and tell the software how to play them.
Beneath that level you then have codecs. Codecs determine how the data is compressed. Some are aimed at editing and retain more information whilst some are aimed at playback and some at reducing file sizes. GoPro uses an advanced codec called HVEC for the more data intensive formats (higher definition hiher frame rate). Windows won't playback these HVEC MP4 videos becuase they can't unpack the compression. I think you can get plugins to allow playback however. I don't tend to record in formats that require HVEC, because ultimately my stuff ends up on youtube and people can't tell the difference. So it's a waste of data (and rendering time). Sometimes I'll record in high detail if i want to crop in, or want a high frame rate. But then I tend to transcode before editing anyway. Sounds like this wasn't your problem, but lots of people by the latest GoPro for 4k, and then find out it won't playback for them (and they probably don't have a 4k monitor anyway!).
