You're correct, my system is a 32 bit. My son and I put it together a few years ago. He just gave me the current video card that he had an extra of.

Thank you as well, Borgus1. Appreciate your help.


I'll see if there is a newer driver for it. I'm going to try and get out for some more riding tomorrow, and take some more footage of our back roads here in N.H.

Feel free to cretique if you desire. That's how I learn

Hi Loren.

Very nice I like those bird houses ! I am going to build a few for my own garden when I get around to it.

Also had a quick look at your riding vids. Think about making the transitions faster in between clips/pictures.
The default 2 second transition timing can be pretty slow at times depending on what effect you are looking to present to the viewer. Also don't be afraid to split/cut out portions of the trail to tighten up your clip.

(Think about adding informative popup text descriptions during your ride to pull the viewers attention to something you find important or interesting. Also how about adding end credits- including your name/alias, trail name and or location where the video was taken, camera used, bike / quad used, song title etc. to give the viewer a bit more info about the trail.)

Shameless plug- here is a link to a tutorial- have a look to see the ins and outs of using transitions:

Btw- just curious, what camera do you have strapped to your noggin? A GoPRO or Contour or something else?

Thanks for suggestions, and link. On some of my slide shows ,and videos, I've credited various artists doing the music. I'm always not sure about the piracy thing. I’ve also considered more info about what bike I’m riding, camera, etc. Still new with this, and a lot to learn.

Transitions are one of the things I’m going to have to pay more attention to. Like any work, you have to become proficient with the tools before you can get creative. Work in progress.

I just discovered this forum, and I’m sure it’s going to help a lot.

I have a GoPro Hero 2 that I got for Christmas. It does have some peculiar characteristics.
Like shutting off unexpectedly. Lens fogging up at times. I’m experimenting with settings, and their effect on shake, vibration, etc. I mount it on top of my helmet. I have tendency to hold my head off to one side. Been a trial and error to get the mount angled just right. I’ve also mounted it to my KLR650 handle bar. More vibration but being fixed, it’s not subject to the tilt problem.

I like the helmet mount because I can turn the camera to the side if there’s something of interest there.

This morning I filmed 3 different sections of road. ( 3 separate files.) First was ok, 2d & 3d were foggy from the humidity. I didn’t know that until I stopped and took the camera off the helmet. ( I have the remote for the GoPro.)
The other thing that happened was, the camera just froze up and I had to remove the battery to get it working again.
Needless to say, I’m not thrilled with the GoPro for reliability of operation.

My bird house efforts are to relieve bordom during winter. I don’t like the cold, but do like New England most of the rest of the year.

PS: I did install newest video driver for my video card. Those options in Power Director still aren't available. I'll just live with it.
Appreciate your help.
