Harry's + Go Pro Integration?
I've been digging thru this site but haven't found the answer to (what I believe is) a simple question: Is it possible to overlay data from Harry's LapTimer (Grand Prix edition) on video from a GoPro camera?
Specifics: I'm using three GoPros ... 2 original Heros and 1 Hero2 w/ wifi bacpac & remote. I'm assuming that of these, the newer Hero2 is more likely to work.
Phone is an iPhone 4, with an Emprum Ultimate GPS dongle and a GoPoint bluetooth OBD II reader.
I shoot video with all 3 GoPros, then edit together. I'm hoping to overlay my Harry's data onto the video from the Hero2 w/ wifi & remote ... it's my "master shot" looking over my shoulder from a rollbar mount.
Can this be done? Thanks in advance.

TrackVision, Dashware and Race Render will all do this, AFTER you combine the videos on iMovie, Vegas or Premier, then export the data from HLT on .csv for import to the former for integration into the overlay....
Massive PITA for three cameras, marginal PITA for one.
Best suited for a "highlight reel" compilation, IMO.

The short answer is yes, you can use the aforementioned software to sync up your video and data and output a merged video.
In my case, I have two cameras and an AiM Solo DL. I use Adobe Premiere Elements to edit video and accomplish the picture-in-picture, and then TrackVision to sync up/overlay the data. It is indeed a large PITA. As mentioned above, it's really only worth it for particularly interesting laps/sessions. Honestly, if I did it again, I think using HLT and its integrated video is the best effort/benefit tradeoff as long as you get good GPS data. But of course it's not really easy to capture a good angle with that.

I'd be interested in using the gopro2 as the primary and only video device then syncing offline. Harry said that comes with the next version (18).
In the meantime my switch from iPhone4 to 5 really helped with video quality. I just need to move the phone out of the blind spot to get a clear sat signal for GPS then I can get accurate speeds.
