Midland XTC 260 (720p action cam in standard mode)

on the back of the new Midland XTC 260 720pHD action camera under the flap for the memory card and USB port there is a tiny switch for SD and HD make sure you slide it in HD if you want the best video...I shot this one in SD...it's not too bad, but I will shoot some in HD mode and show you the difference. I converted the video in Roxio Creator 2012 Pro, I converted to 720P and thats why it looks like this.

I Convert all my video to 720p in Roxio Creator 2012 Pro, no matter what resolution I shot it in, no matter what camera, or what type of video file. Just trust me: even if you shoot in 1080p convert to 720p. Open Roxio go over to Video Movies and open, go to edit and transfer, click on copy and convert, click on movies, then search your computer for the video file you want to convert, then click ok, when it loads into Roxio, slide the Output to WMV HD 720p, then click the green go button, (do this for everything OLD VIDEO, VGA, 960, 720p even 1080p video trust me it will make 1080p even better) Now it usually puts it in a file called My Movies you can find it usually under your video file, I made a shortcut on my desktop to it. I then close Roxio and re open it go to EDIT VIDEO ADVANCED open the video file you just converted, do you edits and then export as WMV9 You should have crisp clear HD video....You will even make some standard video HD, I will make a tutorial soon and upload it, You can also do this in Sony Vegas, Pinnacle but procedures are slightly different.

NOTE the actual Lens of the Midland camera is the size of a ballpoint pen head, you must make sure it is clean, even 1 speck of dirt, lint, fingerprint oil can screw up your video, and you won't know until you get home and load it up, and you will say SHIT WTF, my camera is messed up........NO just use a lens cloth, not your sleeve to keep it clean.
