How many of you have already made sex tapes with them? I mean that helmut mount is too good to pass up
No sex tape here but I did get my videos to play.

I use a Mac so the recommended video player was QuickTime Player. The interesting thing is I can usually drag a movie over the QuickTime icon and it will open, but this doesn't work with the GoPro videos for whatever reason. What I had to do was open QuickTime and then do a "file open" option and select one of the GoPro videos. This opened the video.

QuickTime Player is a free download so you should be able to use this on a Windows PC to play your videos. Windows Media Player might also work in this fashion so give it a try.

As for editing, here is a review of video editing software and in theory any of them should work for you:

If you want to do some fun things like I did in my video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwJXgSmYCtE) and make it easy in the process, go buy a Mac and you'll never look back. iMovie is what I used and it is very easy. And FYI - yes, a Mac can run all the software you are used to (Word, Powerpoint, etc.) and it is virus free so you can surf porn with confidence. So go ahead, post up that sex tape!

PM me if you want more info on a Mac. I made my career off of Windows but then turned to the Mac way of things upon selling the company.
