I've managed to circumvent MS's restrictions on installing HEVC codecs and they're now installed......so I can view 4K vids straight from the camera. The issue with the 4K stuff is the file size, and bearing in mind that YouTube and FaceBook seem to compress them down to 1080k there doesn't seem any point in using 4K. At least not at the moment. I've enhanced 1080k to it's optimal settings and there was hardly any difference between that and 4k. Except the file was about a quarter of the size. Anyway, I'll give it a test on the bike tomorrow. Is there really any difference between 1080 and 4k? I don't ever see a difference a video is just a video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Get Daniel Day Lewis to play you, Pete. Not many people can do the accent of a Welshman after 20 years of speaking Spanish on the street. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget Spanish, it’s Welshman after 20 years in Andaluzia, it’ll give the talented man a headache. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 I did this one at 1080.....4k file sizes are insane. Seems pretty decent to me.....make sure YouTube is displaying it to you at 1080 though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems good to me as it is, you’re carrying on with the same sort of music, though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we would be listening to the sound of the bike with the new camera or is the music to overwrite your screaming every time you see a wet patch 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I found that too, I thought my bike was sounding great but the camera just picked up the wind noise. I think the trick is having a remote mic inside your helmet so that is has similar wind protection as you ears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
