Roadhawk RH-1 file extraction

Hi all.

I know this topic has been covered before and as far as I am aware the standard method for the above (for youtubage) is to use some screen recording device.

I sent a mail to roadhawk support this morning and they responded in a very timely manner.

Turns out the software allows for .avi exporting.

I think I already knew about this but couldn't get it working.

Trick is to manually add the .avi extension to the file when saving (even after selecting avi file type).

Works a treat. No more damn screen recording.

I was going to throw up the video of a V10 R8 Spyder trying to cut me up on a roundabout but it has been 'taped' over

Anyway, hope its useful.

thats always been the case, the problem is it doesnt bring speed / gps data with it

Oops. Fok me, seriously considering giving up the day job after this bombshell.

haha, whats the day job? hope its not exporting RH videos

im thinking of getting rid of mine, some nice HD recorders on ebay that seem to be a lot better.

In fairness, the extraction process is pretty appalling with the Roadhawk.
If you don't know much about codecs and file formats etc, you haven't a hope.

I'm happy enough with the simplicity of the unit and the quality of the video, but it could be better overall.

Not quite but it does involve a PC.

Think you're right. i still have one in a box for OH that I never installed. Thinking of getting rid of both for some more functional and cheaper options - (edit) or put my new Android to use.

Might lose a fair bit on the RH's though
