Me too - still downloading :-(
I'm guessing it's the fact that everyone is downloading it at once. I probably need some better hosting (Nathan shout some of that 100mb/s download space per-lease!).

:humpth: Keeps timing out. I've tried your PH solution Robbie. If still no joy I'll give it a rest for the night.

ETA - Arse. It'll have to wait.

Also, make sure you have the lastest version of Quicktime installed. The first video was encoded as an mp4, but this video is a QT .mov file, so you'll need Quicktime.

Hope it all works out, a few others are struggling too frown

Awesome Robbie. Love the idea of the camera car running through the whole group, and surely we can organise ourselves to do this! Good to see footage of everyone demonstrating some nice (and obviously sensible) driving displays wink

A slower moving camera car for a section of dual carraigeway, and everyone cruising past at the national speed limit biggrin

Well on the next SAS hoon we will try this. My car isn't exactly super quick, so I think it would be easy to overtake, especially with my cooperation.

Great vids - finally managed to get them working this morning (my router was throwing a fit at actually having to do some work!). Be great if you could do similar in the future, especially with the approaches suggested above to get everyone's cars involved. Know mine's not the most expensive or rarest car in the group, but would still be nice to see it! biggrin

Hopefully it is possible to do this using the Swift though - would love to have been a passenger in pretty much any of the cars on Sunday, but the drive was even better and I'd hope you'll be joining in again without having to be too preoccupied by techy stuff and tempermental cameras...!

I wasn't there due to a badly timed hangover, but I'd love to see the vids too? pt I and pt II please!

ETA: Cheers! that was fantastic! As said, those 2 Chims! some fantastic roads too! Any chance someone could send me the route, then explain to me using short words how to use it in my TomTom?
