I like to record my trips, on the bike, or in the mountains.
I use various things in my setup.
Innovv K5 camera system on the bike.
Go Pro 10 for other uses: handheld, in the mountains, or as first-person cam on the bike.
I use or have installed the following softare.
iMovie - because it's free and fits my purpose for now.
VLC Media Player - to play various video formats that standard Mac doesn't (e.g., Innovv TS format).
Handbrake - for converting.
