Christchurch practice

[CookMySock]

Turns out the footage I managed to get is in some weird .MTS format so that's a write off, cheers panasonic.

If you really want to convert it, mplayer should do it, but its going to be a little bit of dicking around.

Junkers, I have the same camera as you, you should have the software included to convert to wmv format, it's a very simple process. If you don't, let me know as I do.

I've got some conversion software that sorts it out mate, don't delete it. If you can get me a HDD (portable or not, doesn't matter), we can give you all of the footage for the day already converted (there's a lot).


Just waiting for Phil to produce a video now.

Ok, I now have the footage I was waiting for from Drew. There is some sweet footage in there, like of me, 1080i, knee down round the inside sweeper with sparks coming off my sliders.
Good one of Drew going for a slide and trying to row his bike like a bloody canoe. I knew he had some coon in him. Good one of Mal showing off and totally loosing control, feet in the air, total Benny Hill shit. Another of me low siding on the exit of the hairpin, crossing the center of the track and nearly getting taking out by Dr Powell coming the other way. Gonna do something to make that corner a bit safer next time. Jason also had a scare exiting that corner.

Jeremy, Mal, Fraser, Sal, Charles, Mandy, Jason, Warwick, your all welcome to pop round here to watch the footage if you want. We are gonna suss out how the best way of dealing with these .MTS file is going to be. I'm also capped until this weekend so wont be uploading anything till then.

.MTS files play directly on a PS3, looks great on a high def TV. Hey, I've got both...

Ah sweet, yeah I haven't deleted it. Borrowed the camera off a mate so I'll have to hit him up. Though my shaky hands don't really do the video's any justice. I did manage to film whoever nearly crashed into the wall though.

Cheers Malcolm, I'll see if I can grab the footage off Phil as I'm keen to get that jet off him aswell.

Haha me 2. That was Drew.
Yep tomorrow evening is cool.

We had heaps of random people stop and have a gander as we are right beside a state highway.
People which included a nice chap named Chris and his two kids. What made him stand out from everybody else that stopped for a look was Chris had a very nice professional looking camera.
He was perched on a not so safe spot beside the pits so we asked him nicely to find a safer spot to photograph, he was more than happy to oblige. Malcolm had a quick chat to him, passed on an email address, and we have the most stunning looking photos.
Check them out in my album Here.

Its not perfect but Premiere was doing all sorts of funky things.
Couple of timing issues I wasn't happy about but I should have finished this 2 weeks ago.
Enjoy.

That's a cool video man, loving the MotoGP like titling!

[Nutter34]

Looks like fun.

Gonna have to find a carpark here somewhere... Bring out the GoPro...

[{.bLanK}G_o_D]

Yep, was a good idea to experiment with overlaying race data. It will make our "race" video look like a MotoGP race.
Any amateur (or professional) commentators out there who want to commentate a race video for us? If you sound like Julian Ryder or Toby Moody even better!

Cool vid!
I have a GPS based Data logger and a Video overlay box that allows you to write data traces (configurable) real time on a video stream. So what you see is similar to the Aussie V8 coverage where they show the throttle/brake/G stuff on the incar footage.

Keen to come and watch you guys next time you play

[imdying]
