Hi Folks,

Sorry no tunnels in my movie but it does give you an idea what a great day it was.

FANTASTIC FUN!

Be gentle with me, its my first attempt at making and uploading a movie to YouTube.

Certainly not up to Quinny filming standards, but I hope it gives you a feel for the day?

good effort - you need a foam hood for your mike if you're going to have it outside the car - that'll stop the wind noise that you get in the first half when the camera's in the Tuscan.

Thanks for the comments EggsB,

Actually I did do the foam trick, just used a rubber band to hold on a bit of washing-up sponge over the microphone.

All very high-tech....NOT!

Pretty damn good I'd say

Just ordered one of these... To see if there's any improvement over the little keyring spay cams....

Should be interesting..... Looks like the windscreen mount could be useful

Thanks Quinny,

I've just started to learn about this amateur movie making business, inspired in part by some of your efforts.

I am using my new Sony HX5 that shoots in AVCHD 1080i, these HD movies play through my Paystaion on the 40" Bravia 1080p LCD TV and come out in amazing broadcast quality.

The files are saved as m2ts files.

The problem is I cant view or edit m2ts files in Windows Moviemaker as I think I need a AVC codec?

So I've been using the Sony software to convert the files to WMV, I can then edit the files but the WMV files are a real step down in quality.

By the time they are uploaded to YouTube they have been compressed again so end up looking really grainy.

I don't want to turn this into an AV forum but I would be grateful for any ideas on how I can improve the quality?

Perhaps I need a Mac?

Not sure....

Most of mine are taken in AVI format, which is a pain because the files are massive, but Windows movie maker can read and edit them...

So what I do is leave them in AVI until I've finished messing about with them... Then convert to WMV to upload to YouTube.

The difference in size is substantial. A 10 min AVI file can be 2GB, but when its converted to WMV it's around 600MB..
Quality doesn't seem to suffer to much...

Been doing some research, it seems the HD thing is all well and good but you really need an HD editor suite to it justice, its got to be able to handle AVCHD.

I am going for this:

Hi chimpafrolic,
Looks like good work on the filming editing. Would have love to join you, but "unfortunAtly" still in Vietnam. See you when I get back (I also need to get my car (she's in the garage sleeping in the dry at the moment) shiny like yours, as yours looks fantastic)).

Thanks for the comments Golflion, I always say you're as old as the woman you feel

Actually if I take my cap off I'm bald as a coot, and its a well known fact that a TVR can make you look 10 years younger.

Basically I am 63, its all just a very effective disguise.

You Northern Boys really should leave your Whippets at home & join us Southern Softies in the London tunnels next year.

You will be made very welcome.

You need to watch taking too much of that botox stuff...look at Joan Rivers...give it up mate before its to late!!!!!

I tried this year to persuade the other half to do the London tunnels....going on my own next year if she doesnt want to go.

By the way now got the plenum spacer,heat gasket,carbon trumpets,smooth bore induction kit,manifold gaskets(to replace when i take the pre-cats out) in the garage.....works start after xmas...will take pics etc as i go and post on PH.

Tenerife in the morning.....enjoy the rest of the week....and the snow
