Hey Guy's, I started a youtube account. (Vimeo only allows 1 HD video uploaded per week) Only have this video uploaded so far... Let me know what you think, thanks :)

Nice!!!
i like the camera angle and how its low enough so that you can see a good portion of the bike and watch the front end.

may have to steal that angle from you ;)

did you get the hero 2 or the original HD hero?

Thanks! I think it's cool to see the front end doing work. I stuck the suction cup mount near the bottom of the fairing. Took a bit of tweaking the camera just right but I got it. I was a little nervous trusting a suction cup but that thing is pretty solid.. I bought the original HD hero.

Looking good. What video editing software are you using? I'm using iMovie 08 and I can't for some odd reason export any videos larger than 960x540. If I try and import the full HD video from the camera, it degrades it's a ton. If I import it at 960x540, it's better, but still not full HD like I've seen from others guys videos. Kind of pissing me off that I have a $300 camera and I can't get real HD video out of it unless I just upload raw footage.

$300 for software to goof off with is a lot of money. I'll have to do some more research to see if there's anything else out there that will do it. I'm fine with everything else that iMovie does. I just want to be able to export in full HD. The only way I've been able to do it is to just upload raw footage from the camera to Youtube. (vimeo's 500mb daily limit generally won't allow for this since 10 minutes of video in full HD is about 1G.) Here's one I uploaded last night.

I've been doing a little looking around and the issue is that I have an old version of iMovie. My Macbook is 4 or 5 years old running Leopard (first generation duo processors in Mac's with Leopard) All I need to do is upgrade to Snow Leopard and get the new iLife for $50 and that will export in full HD. woohoo!

Anyways, sorry for hijacking your thread. We'll see how my videos look after I go pick up the new software tomorrow. ;)

u guys should check this program callled Power Director out. you can buy it as a download or order the box version
PowerDirector 10 Deluxe | Video Editing Software
u can upload it in full HD straight from the program itself and you can cut edit and even do slow mo with it. There also are plenty of how tos on youtube showing how easy it is to edit videos and do transitions and effects with your videos

Looks like good software but I'm a Mac guy. Looks like the new iMovie 11 does most of what's in there.
