This is on the other forum saying how to do it

So I emailed the seller and got this:

Time set

1) Delete everything on the MicroSD card.

2) Create a text file called TAG.TXT in the root directory of the MicroSD card.

3) Open TAG.TXT and enter the following, correcting the date and time:

[date]

2009/09/27

2100

4) Save TAG.TXT.

5) Eject and power-on the camera. The system will analyze TAG.TXT, then set system time according to what the file indicates. After that the text file will be deleted by the system automatically.

The player can play AVM format video, please install the software, it’s AVM converter, please choose 160×128 Frame Size.

Please have a try.
hope helpful. thanx, hope the futher orders from you

If this doesnt work then:

Create a txt file at the root of the memory card, called tag and put in the correct date and time. Put in the data below.

[date]
2010/03/12
19:280

save file.

Turn off camera and then on. If it has worked the tag file should have been erased.

Don't use Youtube for uploads, use Vimeo.

I've found a perfect mounting point and made a video, trouble is I had it upside down and it looks like I'm driving on the wrong side of the road

I'm going to make another vid in a minute on the scooter

Youtube does HD video, I'll try one in a minute.

I've got a number 3 camera, seems to be the best one, was the cheapest I could find on ebay.
