Due to popular demand (my next door neighbours kid :rolleyes: ) I've knocked together a vid of West Highland footage from bullet cams fixed to the various cars I've had up there.

I've put up a shortened version (size is an issue!) in two resolutions for anyone that may be interested:

6.5 mb - 320 wide - pretty squashed but watchable, here:

28mb - four times the screen size, much better quality, here:

probably best to right click - 'save target as'

If you are on dialup - you'll have to be pretty keen to download as I guess the small one will take about an hour to grab :eek: but then you lot are all on mega fast broadband right? ;)

38 seconds? 9 mins - luxury. It took me over 5 hours to upload last night. (They think ADSL stands for 'A Dozy Southern Lot' up here).

Soundtrack is from my latest:

(messed about with mind - you might notice some dodgy edits).

Thanks for the kind words and comments.

Mr Two - you are showing your age (although I played in a band with most of Matt Bianco's musos in the 80's, so it was a good call).

Info as to which car... good idea, I'll have to work out how to do it (I just used windoze movie maker for this vid as Premier scares the pants off me).

Connection here is best described as 'pathetic'. The BT man came out to look at the line recently and actually laughed. Carrier pigeon would probably be quicker.

Car & wind noise would indeed add... but they are a bugger to organise and I'm a lazy git.

BTW - 19 seconds? F*** that's quick.

What settings do you use for the resolution, etc. I was trying to put a few vids together from the slalom day but when I finshed I found out that 30 sec clips at the same size as yours were 280Mb. I'd rather have the same size as your vid at a more reasonable file size.

Cheers


Andy

For the web the two sttings I used: (from the pull down menu in Windoze Movie Maker)

640 x 480 @ 1.5 mbps (creating the 28 mb file)
320 x 240 @ 340 kbps (creating the 6.5 mb file)
