vholdr recorder
- Thread starter CAT A LAC
- Start date
tested a vholdr and thought it was great. very patiently awaiting my vholdr HD from sled solutions
i personally think that if u are to compare price and qulaity to other cams such as hero go pro and viosport, i think its the best in the biz by far. viosport is nice but very spendy

i just got my vholdr hd from sled solutions a few weeks ago and it looks like a great unit...the only thing im worried about is when its under the hd setting it seems like the frames are really slow so it doesnt turn out on the computer...im not sure if its something with my computer but i tried it on a couple computers and it did the same thing. it works good under standard but not so good with hd.
It's probably just too much data to process. I wonder how it would work after uploaded to a website.
I'll bet it makes good dvd's.
yeah im not quite sure. i'll have to work with it a little and burn it to a dvd and see what happens then...im hoping it turns out
vholdr
I have the vholdr I to didn't like the fact that you could not download the video to the computer. So asked my son in law to check into it for me and he did the format the vholdr uses is it's own he downloaded some programs that convert to a format so it can be downloaded to your computer. I will check with him to get the sites he downloaded the programs from and put them on here.

There will be just as much data to process once it's on a DVD. Any computer that's not prehistoric should have no problem playing an HD video file.
The file recorded by the vholdr is a .mov file. You'll need something to convert from .mov to another file type such as .mpeg
Should be plenty of programs out there that you can find just googling for "convert .mov to .mpeg". Maybe txsnowmobile will post a good program when he replies. I've got some programs I use at home but can't remember the name of them. I don't have to do convert video files very much as my camcorder already records in .mpeg-4

Glad this thread came up. I have a GoPro and it's ok, but I was thinking of "upgrading" to a VHoldr. Not going to if you can't put the vids in your hard drive and edit them. I usually film several hours throughout the day, then edit the good stuff together with some tunes and share with the gang.
fyi... the .mov files are a quicktime format, from apple.
Also, I believe that the hd versions use a H.264 type of compression. To view on your computer, you need to make sure you have the correct codecs in order to get the best performance.
Interesting that they finally made the full hd version.....

I was going to go with the vholder but ended up going with the Go Pro Got a brand new one off of Ebay with 6 mounts for $120.

I like for the fact it uses AAA and SD cards. You can Record for 2 hours on a 2GB card. Easy to turn on and off, and 100% water proof.

I have a buddy that bought one for last season and loved it. The only thing he complained about was the battery life on it. He ran into that problem more than once. Other than that, he loves it. I am probably going to get the HD model this year.

Correct.
I'd recommend downloading, "K-Lite Codec package". Since downloading that I've never needed to download any other codecs. Every movie file I've ever tried has played.
How long was the battery lasting?
VLC media player works good also. It has all the codecs built in. It looks nice and clean compared to some of the other media players.
Oh, it is free and is a small down load... Yes, I like it a lot...

I have the standard Vholdr used it all last winter. Battery life is not great,(spare battery is cheap) but that is the case with pretty much all batteries I have used for snowmobiling in cold temps. (Lithium batteries do the best) I had no problem downloading all my video onto my hard drive, and I am just barely computer literate. Vholder supplies a program to download and organize the vids. I then used the windows movie maker that came with my computer to make a movie of my favorite clips, and burned a DVD. If I can do it anyone can. Great bang for the buck. I am considering upgrading to the HD version this year. Got mine from sled solutions at a snowshow last year and he is great to deal with.

i just downloaded the vlm media player and now the hd works fantastic. now if i could only figure out how to get it put on my pinnacle studios movie making program
Ditto. We make a dvd for virtually every trip, nice if it wasn't a pain the azz to do.
Everyone does some filming, so I deal with lots of formats already. Have a program to convert them, so maybe the vhold is the way to go.
Been unsure.
does anyone have a link to a program that can convert the .mov file to a different kind of file
