Had to remove original video due to one person complaining to me about it.. oh well, just me this time.

Here is a new one , going up a local range, really bad road, steep drop offs , bit exciting, but bad if you stuff it up

Full HD upload too , if you have the bandwidth

I like it

Thanks Juliana.

Nice.
Thanks for sharing. Keep em coming!

What camera are you using? The quality could have been a bit better. Then again, you seem to ride quite fast so things do get blurred out to a greater extent by this fact.

Hi Kodde,
Yes i have a fair few more to get around to posting. Need a fair bit of editing.

Yes quality is not the best, on purpose though. did you click on the 720p quality on youtube ?

Camera is a gopro hd 2

The full HD 1080 is bloddy amazing . However being 170 deg, things that are awful close in real, look alot further away when playing it back.

I see you have a trackday vid above... i havn't seen it yet as i write this... will go check it out.

Fastrotor> Nice. Im envious. I have the GoPro HD. I know what you mean about the 170 degree fov. Although, since you get a bigger field of view you see things closer to the ground which gives a sense of things moving faster. Speed = exciting = happy viewer

Yeah I watched in 720p. I think you can get it better. Are you keeping it uncompressed all the way through your editing process till the very end? Remember that you can upload pretty **** big files to YouTube. YouTube itself will compress your movie to it's desired format so there's really no need for you to "optimize" your clips to a great degree if their just going on YouTube.

I used Sony Vegas to edit it and I think the killer for clarity was leaving the bit depth on 8 bit rather than 32 full. I'll guess I was sweating it about posting a video going over the limit so much. I'll have a play today and post something better to see what you think.

[kodde]

8-bit depth should be fine if it's a per channel setting I guess. I don't think the GoPro cameras record in any higher depth than that.

My last video on the track was 15 minutes. I exported from Premiere with Lagarith codec for video (non-destructive compression) and uncompressed audio. I did the final compression to Xvid codec for video and mp3 for audio in VirtualDub. Then sent to YouTube. There might be other more streamlined or event better options for YouTube specifically, but I haven't really invested time in doing any more research for this. Maybe I should try a x264 compression instead next time.

Those 15 minutes of 720p video turned out as 7,18GB before uploading to YouTube

Haha , yeah i can't wait to get fibre to the home, hopefully by next year... uploading at 350kbps is retardedly slow.......

[kodde]

Looks much better quality wise. Did you use any different settings or compression amount in this video?
