Indoor Problems?

So I just got my GoPro hd today and after getting some test footy in my house tonight, I seemed to only get laggy, really shitty quality footage...I have researched this problem and found a lot of complaints about how it performs in indoor lighting. However, when I turned the camera on the photo mode, the pictures came out very nice. Anyone else have this problem?

i don't think that the laggy footage has anything to do with the indoor ligting...
do you have a correct class4 or higher memorycard?
can your computer handle the HD footage?
if it does happen to be laggy, but just a very little and your frames are a bit unsharp, it could also be that you need more light...
and about the weird coloring, that's the whitebalance, and might be adjusted in the next firmware update...

have you tried setting it to spot metering instead of average metering, and aiming it at the indoor lightsource?

if the colors then turn out correct, it's just the whitebalance.
if its still weird we have learned nothing, and it could still be whitebalancing problem since the pictures turn out ok...

on a sidenote: i have no lagging problems when shooting indoor, i only have weird colors because of the messed up whitebalance...

Well the memory card I am using is a SanDisk 8GB Class 4 card so I don't think that is the problem. The computer I linked the camera too was a regular MacBook from about 07. Earlier today though I went out at about sunrise and the footage I got was way more clear than the night before. Maybe it was just the amount of light in my house the previous night even though I turned on the Spot Meter.
