locogato11283 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Posted October 1, 2013 Tyler, http://gopro.com/software-app/gopro-studio Native GoPro software, which can convert if needed. Works on Windows 8. Windows 8 uses hardware support to play MP4 files- just download the Community Codec Pack, and make sure your video drivers are up to date. NVIDIA released one like a week ago. Gotta link for that Dave? I've read that's not always a fix. Quote
dirtdigginjoe Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 Gotta link for that Dave? I've read that's not always a fix. The CCCP is here: http://www.cccp-project.net/ It has every codec, so it should help. I'd suggest the GoPro software first Quote
manny 2004 banshee Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 Tell me about it. I bought my laptop with windows 8 on it, and it's sat collecting dust after the first day of use. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free Quote
LCW Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 I'm running 8 pro 64 bit and have no problems. My Lumia 1020 records 1080p in mp4 format. Plays them fine. You might just make sure drivers are up to date, and try the codec links everyone posted. I'll do so digging and get back to you on it. Quote
fappy'97 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 Agreed. His jokes fucking suck Rappy is the new zillafreak. Thanks for letting me know. I will have to work on that. Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Posted October 1, 2013 Just fucking noticed that my computer won't play YouTube videos now. What in the fucking fuck?! Quote
#1JUANstunna Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 Just fucking noticed that my computer won't play YouTube videos now. What in the fucking fuck?! Operator Error.................... my windows XP won't play youtube videos either, but I'm a fucking idiot. Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Posted October 1, 2013 NVM, I fixed that part. Dave, your GoPro converter didn't work. I get an error message when I try to play the converted videos. It says "Can't Play. This video was encoded by some shit that isn't supported by shitty fucking Windows 8." Quote
dirtdigginjoe Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 Who's Dave? I'm Joe lol. Did you install the codec pack then try it again? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Quote

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Dave is dajogermanium... I'm leery of shit I don't know anything about.. I've read in searches where the codec packs did nothing. Every search I've turned up tells me it's because Windows 8 sucks dick. So you think installing the codec shit will work? That website looks pretty fucking suspect. Quote
dirtdigginjoe Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 There's also the Windows 8 Codec pack which you can get from CNET. The CCCP does look that way on purpose. The CCCP one includes more Sent from my carrier pigeon. Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Posted October 1, 2013 The Windows 8 codec pack is the one that people say doesn't fix anything. Quote
dirtdigginjoe Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 Yeah I never liked the one they have for Windows 7. Give me a minute to get home and boot up my old laptop running 8 Sent from my carrier pigeon. Quote
SonOfSand Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 Loco, search "handbrake video converter" I would post the link but can't for some reason. Its free and works well for me. Quote
