If I post it..will they watch it ? (update vid in 1ST post)
OK so I have this HUGE vid (977mb) and was wondering if anyone would even bother to watch if I go thru the hassle of posting it :roll: .
SOooo, my question is : "If I post it will they watch it" Even right now I am uploading it to a site but it will take about an hour and 40 minutes by my calculations if it even works. If that doesnt work I'll try breaking it down into smaller chunks. We went riding today and the weather was absolutely perfect and I had my cheap little helmet cam on my bike and got a 29 minute vid of just trail riding in the sandy ST.Helens trails. I had the camera mounted to my handlebars and it shows every bounce and plan to set it up on my helmet and that should give a totally different and smooth vid. I hate the sound and need to work on making it sound more like it does in real life. OK to start off the vid in raw format is not all that great from the get-go and after resizing and all it isnt any better its only the first 5 minutes.The sound is lousy from the camera and in real life my bike sounds AWESOME, no really it does ST.Helens video Go to full size and turn the volume down or off. At the start is my wife on her 350 raptor and you wont she her in front much cause like any good women she knows her place is to follow behind me. (if she sees this I'll be in trouble ) |

You should re-encode it, use windows media encoder, it's free, and should cut the size down quite a bit...

The camera is a Oregon Scientific ATC2K.
The sound quality is terrible and the video is a bit rough as well but it is better than nothing I suppose. I still cant get a small enough file to get it hosted but I'm working on it. |

Noisy chainsaw you have running in the background there, TC.
Of course it's much better than any video I have (none!) :wink:

I agree with Knothead. Linux is the bestest.

It was set to it's max which is 640x480 - 30fps and the raw AVI file was 977mb, almost half of my 2gb sd card.
I'm also thinking it was in a compressed format. |

I thought I had a battery problem with my camara, but it really doesn't like the vibration. Sad cause it's the camara I don't care about dropping from a moving bike. My good camara doesn't leave the house.
