Simply awesome, Corey!
Besides the interesting content, what struck me was the good low light and audio performance. Did you use an external mic?
Here's a link to Sothink Flash converter. Their freeware is good stuff, maybe there's something like what you need there.

Bob, I am using Adobe Premier, the trail version.
It can add text and all that stuff like Move Maker can.
But for the review I am working on, they will just be raw videos, not edited.
I should have the review up in this section within the hour.
Thanks for the link, I will look into it.
One file I tried earlier my spyware app kicked into action, as the app was trying to load spyware to push their adds at me
No external mic, they are not out yet.
To get good sound, you need to take off the waterproof back of the case and install the optional one with holes in it.
If you leave the waterproof one on, sound if muffled.
But if you driver over 100 MPH, it gets better sound with the waterproof one on.
I will not be taking my mountain bike that fast

Just wondering how you are liking that camera? I'm looking for one to mount to my mountain bike but If I could use it for snow boarding and paintballing as well that would be pretty cool. Last you posted you seemed to like it. Just wondering if you are still pleased with it.

I like it very very much.
Takes clear pictures, and the video quality is fantastic.
Here is a video I shot on a nice warm Saturday we had around a month back.
Went for just a local bike ride on a trail system that runs through several towns.
Video was shot at these settings in HD and widescreen:
720p = 1280x720 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 8 Mbit/s data rate
I could have shot it at the 1080p next higher setting, but the 720 one works great.
I like to shoot in wide format so it fills the screen all the way horizontally.
The microphone even picks up the hum of the knobby tires I run.
I should get lots of use out of it this summer when I get the bike out on trails.
Only thing I do not like is I have not found a converter yet to convert the MP4 (Apple) videos that it shoots.
No problem uploading them to Vimeo or to YouTube, but I miss editing the videos with Windows Movie Maker which turns them into a WMV file, and with Movie Maker I can add text, still pictures, and more.
Movie Maker refuses to open an MP4 video file.

Its cool cyclists are nice to each other in passing kinda like the Harley/Street bike guys....Always wondered about that for some reason 
I do most of my shooting in 720/30 also, Windows Movie Maker Live for Vista?/Windows 7 can upload and edit MP4's no problem but does take some getting used to.
These are a few of my videos, I mainly have the camera for my hobby which is R/C!
If you question the durability of the GoProHD at the end of this video a 8lbs 1/8th scale buggy basically lands on the camera and the impact is hard enough to tear loose the adhesive on the camera mount.

This was taken at a fun fly (gathering of RC airplane nuts) out near Plaster City at a place called Superstition Mountain OHV. At about 1:54 I actually clipped a RC car that was being driven by a friend.

This is at a friends private track.

This is a place called Dave's Beach (aka Little Beach) in Carlsbad Ca. It is LEGAL for us to fly hear and is very relaxing after a long days work.

This is a little test under my CP Helicopter, I need to figure out a better landing pad as the camera hangs lower than the skids.

dont know why the Vimeo ones dont link properly
