Higher res recordings require a lot of computing power, a standard run of the mill computer is not going to cut it.
If you were local I have one I would give you just to get it out of my hair. The only caveat is it only has 32Gb of RAM

Oh yeah, GoPro needs to implement a simple timestamp function in their cameras.
They refuse to give that to their customers, which is an epic fail and the reason why I will not be buying any thing from them until they do.
GoPro is not much more than a marketing company at this point - there are cameras out out as good and better for a fraction of the price. What did it for me is the app update that won't let you connect to your camera unless you connect to the GoPro data collection servers first; this forced connection doesn't provide any consumer functionality whatsoever, it's purely a data suck.
