Welcome to the site, but tell me what sort of extension is *.3gp??

**Sniper** · 12th February 2006, 11:32

Its a cellphone video file OAB. When you used a standard (not IMATE) cellphone it tends to save the file as a .3GP. Im lucky though, mine saves it as a .wav file.

Mate you may need to convert the video to something we can all actually veiw.

**Harry33** · 12th February 2006, 11:36

Yeah I have to agree it was cool, I was watching from my work/home. I just wish that I wasn't working so I could have come along as well

Just a question for anyone who went along, did they stop all cars on the motorway northbound, cause I didn't see one car for quite sometime. It was a hell of a sight hearing/seeing all those bikes.

I am picking Cell phone. (Just a guess).

Couldn't open it either

**onearmedbandit** · 12th February 2006, 11:37

Thanks Sniper, I thought it must have been something to do with cell phones.

**Harry33** · 12th February 2006, 11:38

Damn I've become a scooterboy now sheesh. I better find some more things to post.

**Sniper** · 12th February 2006, 11:40

To those that want to veiw the file, download it to your PC, then Bluetooth/Data IR or cable it to your cellphone. If your phone is able to veiw vids then you can watch them.

I will convert the files to a different format tonight at home (so that you can watch them on the PC) unless Pyrocan gets here today and can do them before 7pm

EDIT: Is there a plug in availible for WMP or Quicktime. Google won't tell me

**Patch** · 12th February 2006, 11:41

Yes, it is a cellphone and I had no problem viewing it.

But it was much better standing on the bridge with my dearly beloved and two young sprockets watching them all wave toot and rev past.

Was a great sight to behold.

An yes they did hold all the cages back via piggy escort to allow all worthy vehicles to ride in peace.

**SPORK** · 12th February 2006, 11:46

I think it should play in quicktime or something, or if not, I know it plays in the Nokia media player thing thinga.

**Lazy7** · 12th February 2006, 11:53

QUICKTIME will play the file!

they turned the lights off, had a police escort.

the queue started once all the bikes were there. it went from the lights as far back as i could see, they were going through that intersection for about 20mins.

Bikes ranged from 60k custom harleys to brand new 999's

was great to see!

and thanks for the welcome - i was a bike rider a couple of years ago. seriously getting the itch again... been looking at 7r's

**Highlander** · 12th February 2006, 12:04

Was that the Charity ride they have been advertising all week on Radio Hauraki ?

This one perhaps: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=21190

Well done that man. There must been a hell of a lot of them, I heard someone say at the end of the 1st vid that they've been going past for 20 mins.

... and welcome to KB, a nice entrance you've made.
