Help with setting up helmet cam

thank you spiderdad.  I'm going to give this movie maker thing a try, to see if I can get it figured out.  Just don't have the patience for learning new things I guess.  If I can't figure it out, the MAC is my next choice.   If and only if I switch to a MAC will I look into plan design and drawing on a computer again...I think this dog's getting too old to learn new tricks?

This one is 1 1/4" wide, by 2 3/4" long, by 1 1/2" high.  It comes with several mounting options, including velcro pads, elastic straps (2), hand strap, and the solid mounting bracket that the various straps attach to.  It can also be mounted directly to the handlebar (though it might prove to be too shakey).  I am going to try both ways.  I bought this brand because it is specifically made for extreme sports conditions.  Waterproof (for the rain) and dust proof.  I also like the remote control so I can switch it on without stopping my bike or taking my helmet off.

See now I looked at the one you got and these are the dementions given-

Length   4" (10.5cm )
Width   2" ( 4.5cm)
Height   2.5" (5.5cm )

Just seems a little big to me? How is the size to you? Is it noticable on the helmet? I'm going to get one, and am think about the one you got. It looked the best to me after reveiwing. I am just hesitant at the size.

Yes, those measurements you cite include the camera when inside mounting bracket.  I gave you the size of the camera alone.   I want to try mounting mine on the handlebar, because I think it would be less cumbersome to me, but if it has to go on my helmet, yeah its a little bulky, but I will get used to it.   Truth be told, I liked this one over the others because it's made for extreme sports conditions, and I figure I'm going to crash sooner or later, and when I do I'll no doubt hit my head on the ground (along with the camera), and thought this one would hold up the best in that event.

Okay you guys are going to find it out sooner or later, but I'm the oldest kid with ADD you know.  I told you I don't have patience, well I'm pretty compulsive too, or so it might seem to you.  I guess that's why I ride dirt bikes?  Anyway, I just went out today and bought a new MacPro laptop computer.  It has 250gb of hard drive, compared to my pc, which only has the 80 plus another 80 on the external drive.  The nice thing about the MacPro is that it will "read" my camera, and is way easier (IMHO) to edit movies and stuff than the pc and moviemaker2.  I couldn't work with the moviemaker2 at all (No patience).  One hour of movie takes up 10 - 12 gb of hard drive in high resolution.  A few movies and I'm done on the pc, or I'd have to start deleting them.  The MacPro has a built-in dvd burner, so I can put my movies on those things.  My old pc doesn't have a dvd burner.

daggit:
my son downloads it to Iphoto then to Imovie where I can edit out 90percent of it and make a good clip.  On a pc you can use windows movie to edit i think.

Hey Dag, can I download it right to Imovie and skip the Iphoto step?  Or Spidey, you might know?
