I recorded and wanted to test my sd card if it works. I copy & open recorded videos but preview is broken. I uploaded some videos to youtube and there is NO problem. It is smooth as gopro's preview. What is wrong with PC? Why cant i preview it on my pc to edit if i want. ://

Is this for a Hero11? It could be the compression settings. Check your HEVC settings. I know my pc won't process the 265 - HEVC setting so I use the 264 - HEVC one.

where is that setting? yes it is hero 11. it uses hevc all the time .:// seems i need to use my powerful pc instead of laptop
open the camera to the cog and either under general or the first page you'll see the compression video. need to play with the settings to see it

I am really sorry but i couldn't understand. Could you please be more specific? like telling someone who doesnt really know these :( It is our first gopro. Trying to learn.
go through your settings, it is under preference or general.

There are only "Beep Volume , QuikCapture, Def. Preset, Auto Power off, LEDs, Anti-Flicker" options available.

There is no "Video Compression" option in my GoPro 11 (Nor in QuickApp) . ?? What can i do? I watched whole video but couldn't find anything useful.

What resolution and fps?
i guess its about my laptop wthout gpu. i ll give a try on my 2080s pc. i deleted videos. they were test videos
Yeah old GPU wouldn't let me do anything over 4k/30. Upgraded processor and GPU. Boom.

Tried just the GPU first and that was the culprit.

cool
Had a similar problem. Bought my first GoPro, the Hero 11 Black. Many years old Windows 10 PC. Couldn't see the videos on my computer, but my iPhone had no problem. Had to buy a software patch at the Microsoft store for $0.99, and that solved the problem of being able to see it on the old PC. Next, Hero 11 Black only shoots in H265. Period. Owners of older GoPros - the Hero 11 is not the same as the Hero 10! I have researched this. I also faced the problem of having older Adobe video software. It can't read H265! I found the free Handbrake program online to convert H265 to H264. The good news is, it works, and a lot of devices can't read H265 yet, anyway. I can now edit H264, 4K 60 FPS clips in Premiere Pro! The bad news is the extra step costs rendering time.
BTW, when I called and wrote to GoPro, each agent told me that the FPS on the Hero 11 is a true 30 or 60 FPS (like my iPhone). Not true, fortunately for me. GoPro Hero 11 shoots at 29.97 FPS, and 59.94 FPS respectively, which allows me to synch with my older HD cameras and camcorders.
My GoPro Hero 11 Black shoots awesome sharp and clear videos, for which I am finding some new and interesting uses.
