Hi, Can't be done. MEP has no way to process the raw gps data from a GoPro and it has no guages to be able to use the data. GoPro itself records gps data but has no tools to display this information. The only way that I have found is to use Quik or

Hi m4v and MP4 are container file formats, not video file formats, they can contain a wiede range of internal codecs and it is this internal video codec that is causing the issue. As MEP is saying you need Quicktime, then the video contents of the
