Copying Files off of Go Pro Hero 5
So, my Go Pro Hero 5 completely filled up yesterday while I was riding over Shrine Pass. And, I've decided that I can postpone this no longer. The videos must be removed from the GoPro, and something must be done with the videos, or why, really, am I recording to begin with?
Of course, GoPro sucks dicks so hard, that it won't work with Windows 7. Like...seriously? Fuck You GoPro. So, I remove the MicroSD card and put it into an SD adapter, and then plug this into my new multi-memory card reader that I ordered once I returned from Peru.
Now, at least, I can copy the files off of the MicroSD card. Seriously, though. Fuck You GoPro.
So, there is about 90 Gig of videos on the MicroSD card, and I copy them all off onto the S driver at S:\_2018_GoPro.
Seriously. Fuck you GoPro.
Hmmm. Says 2 hours remaining. Now, I also need to plug in my GoPro Hero 5 so that it is charging, at least. Battery is completely dead, it seems.
WTF? I can't figure out what's going on. I'm not smart enough to do this, I think. In theory, I'm moving these files off of the MicroSD card plugged into an adapter plugged into a universal memory card reader over to the S: drive, but when I disconnect the GoPro, it crashes and the "move" fails. Now, it seems like nothing has moved at all, so I'm starting over.
Restarting the Move now, to s:\2018\GoPro_WTF. Now, it says moving 91 items, 12.7 Gig. 21 minutes remaining. Seriously. Fuck you GoPro. What the hell?
Now, it says copying 416 items at 97 Gig to s:\_2018\GoPro. (Not moving this time. Just copying.) 2 hours 25 minutes remaining.
No clue what's going on here. Just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
It finally did copy all of the files over, but for whatever reason, the date/time stamp is off on most of the files and they're dated 2015. Great.
