Hi Mike

Do you know what video format it records in - AVCHD, MPEG2, MOV etc etc.

That way we would have a better idea for you.

Happing editing

After reviewing the specs on that camera it looks like it would work with PD. I would suggest you also look at the GoPro camera too. I have seen video from that one and it was very impressive!

According to the information at the link KiteMike posted, the camera uses H.264 and records a .MOV.

From that information PowerDirector should work with that video just fine, unless it uses a non-standard video format. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Hello Elwood,

Sorry... If I'm not answer faster : I had a business trip...

Ok, I made my choice in helmet cam and it's not Gopro, it's Drift HD170 Stealth. I don't like a cam that I don't see display and this one has a remote upto 3m. And the quality is better than Gopro with the thousand of video that I have seen about four cam : GoPro, Contour, Drift and Oregon scientific.

Thanks a lot! I can't wait to try the PD with the 60 fps of this cam!!

Ok, so, for you, it has no problem with 60 fps.

•Video format: H.264 -> PD8 : no problem
•File format: .MOV -> PD8 : no problem

•25 -> PD8 probably some problems / 30 -> it's ok / 50?? / 60fps in 720p?? or 25?? / 30fps -> it's ok in 1080p

I would do some tests and I'm return back to tell about it.

Hey Carl, you have the same processor than me, do you have this mb too : M4A785TD-M EVO. Because, I always think that my problem in PD8's freezing was due to one of 4 core. Finally, I think that the real problem is inherent to Windows 7 (64 bits) but the ATI card is Radeon HD 4200.

Ok, thanks a lot you too for the belief that the 60 fps works under PD8!!

Bye

My Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P.

And I am using Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. Powerdirector 8 is a 32 bit program, so it works better in a 32 bit OS.

I have used Gigabyte Motherboards for several years now, I only had problems with one board that had a VIA chip set.
I try to go with either Nvidia chip set or AMD chip set.

It is usually a good idea to check the manufacturer's web site for any BIOS updates.

I don't have the original BIOS version that came with the Motherboard. I did update the BIOS.

Yess!! Very good idea! This is the only things I don't change since 2 years.

I'll thank you another time!!
