You'll probably have to open it with a video editing program (might even have gotten one with the camera) and "convert" it from it's "raw" format? Or you can upload it to Youtube and let them do most of the work: https://www.youtube.com/upload ... then post the link to your youtube video here.

(The camera will play it's own raw video on whatever you connect it to, but you usually can't share the "raw" video by computer or web browser.)

Well dave thanks I loaded on youtube and sent it to me via email 2:30 min video took 45 min to load? Now going to try to put it on s&f. Cant seem to find the youtube link?

The "control" you want is this thing that looks like a movie strip:

384235

Then paste your url in the box that opens.

[racervboat]

yeah dave I got that but than it comes to type in a url but cant get to youtube to load it?

In youtube, right-click on your video while you're watching it... and then click "copy video url" and insert that in the box here.

In short if RJ has a better say gopro it would be better than a camera video from shore?

I'm not sure what you mean? The coolest ones I've seen so far are Double Rigged's Virb360 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDIwcfYlqZY and the drone videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAimNewuiDA&feature=youtu.be

On the first one, you can move around with your mouse and look where you want... up, down, back... (there's a compass straight above you if you look up).
