The short answer is Yes. About the memory card, it depends on the gopro you get. Some of them have a different 'maximum' card capacity.

I imagine you can play your videos on a TV equipped with the proper HDMI circuitry, input ports and with the appropriate cable; my Hero3 Black has a mini-HDMI out. I use a 32GB SD card, and it easily outlasts the two batteries I have. The battery life is more a limiting factor than is the space on the card to hold your video. Yes, you can download to your computer. As I remember, upon registration of the camera, they give you a link to download their GoPro Studio software. With that you can import & convert, edit and then export your videos. As far as the head strap mount, it is an excellent method to wear your camera for active video action.

1: To TV you need HDMI cable, Get from Go Pro, 2: Up to 64GB, 3: Use screen grab to download.

I was able to to record 720p on a 2GB Kingston non SDHC card which was a surprise. It played back fine too. I ened up getting the 16GB Adata for ~$30. So far so good.

This camera makes mp4 videos. A format that will cause you no problems with any system. The files are on the SD card in the DCIM folder under 100Media. And you just drag them to your desired folder on your computer. Super simple. Newer camcorders record in "avchd", which is fine if you run windows, but Macs still make you jump through hoops in order to import the footage. The Files are in the Folder Private. Then the Folder AVCHD. Then the folder BDMV. The the folder Stream. If you are running windows you can just drag the footage from the Stream folder to your desired folder. But if you are using a MAC you need to drag the entire BDMV folder over. But the Toshiba Camileo X200 records mp4's. This camera makes mp4 videos.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply.The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

I am using a 64GB SD card ( actually it's a micro-SD with an SD adaptor) and I can say its just the best. Take it on a long trip, go crazy on the pitcures without a care, bring it home and download them to your PC. Even at max resolution of 20MBPS, I am yet to use up anything close to 50% even taking videos.

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

Yes. I have an 8GB sd card which will allow about an hour and 20 minutes of video and about 2000 picture files. So 4GB is no problem As for transfer / upload to computer, I have no problem transferring to my desktop this way as well. A little tricky at first - it won't pop a window up automatically and tell you what you can do. You have to go to "My Computer" and right-click the icon on your E drive or whichever drive the camera connects to using the USB cord and port. You should be able to figure it out from there. Hope this helps, and have fun! Just a word to the wise: When recording video with this camera, audio distortion can happen if the sound (say, a music band) is very loud. This happened at a recent concert I attended. So stay back a bit from speakers and use your zoom for closeups.

Don't forget to get 'Y' adapters so u can split the signal for your TV and the Dazzle. I got this to record matches myself (coming today) off my xbox (which is not "pirated" anything, it's game play footage).

I've been reading so many reviews and can't remember where I saw the recommendation to use a '32 GB Card' for best or extended video usage. Anybody know what's best? Thanx!

I just tried it. I took the memory card out and slipped it into my printer, which has the card readers in it. It came right up and played well. I then used Dropbox (a free program) to save the video to my computer.

There is a place for an SD card and also a flash drive. I haven't tried playing in on my unit but I assume it will since there is a slot for it. My kids and friends all love my TV. Super easy to install if you have a drill and a second set of hands.

I have a high speed hd card. But if you dont mind lower quality videos you can use any sd card. Mine was under 20 I believe and holds a ridiculous amount of pictures.

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want)

Good question, I was looking for that question and saw yours. I have a 500GB that I assume is no problem. I have read it plays some AVI files and not others, depending on codec.

Sorry I did not see this sooner. Yes, but you need to install Adobe Flash (already on your card in the download area). Limitation, if you are interested in using HDMI adapter to display it on a TV, this does not work with the card. Tested it again today (8/9/13).No guarantee how long this will work, since Amazon is in process of moving away from Flash support, even for their Windows access.
