I have had this camera for quite awhile and it's been a hassle since I bought it. I originally bought a silver and after returning 2 of them due to defects I bought a black one. When it works it takes great video and pictures but that is few and far between. The camera freezes all the time and I have to remove the battery to reset it. I have to start recording before I descend, for some reason it will not do anything when I am submerged. I love it when it works but it rarely does. I also can only get the file to play on VLC , it won't even play on the go pro studio or iMovie, do I need to reduce the file size first or what am I doing wrong? Just doesn't make sense. It's a couple years old and way out of warranty but I don't just want to scrap it. Anyone have any ideas?
