Okay guys, what you havebeen waiting for. This is a vid of me from a little while ago, nothing too insane, because I didnt have the mount yet, and I had tards in front of me. But no worries, the real real good stuff is gonna come soon. But for now, here is some vid of me, my friend blows at filmin, but its still a good video. Be sure to turn the volume up so that you can hear the music and my car's awesome sound, and no, it isnt aftermarket, but it still sounds good! and in the vid is that 'me behind a mustang' scene, if you turn it up more, you can here that audi honk at the guy, then he gets out of the car, lol. Just DL it and enjoy, its fun stuff.
Please, do Right Click Save As, and spare my bandwidth, instead of just left clicking it and letting Windows Media open it.
PLease gimme feed back on the website also.

you have to watch the video in Windows Media Player, NOT DivX or Winamp, and get the new Windows Media Player first.

and I dunno why the ratio got all messed up, mainly I just wanted you guys to see that and my car and stuff, just sorta get a glance of the roads around here. Ill definetly have some better footage as soon as I get my new mount.

Site looks pretty good, perhaps a the pic are a little to photoshoped. May be cut back a little on the distortion especially on that bottom pic. Also at the bottom do the typicall
All images, video, and writing copy writed by.... 2004 all other images trademarks... are property of their respective owners.
That way people can't gank the stuff and use it as their own. Besides almost all sites have it you should join the bandwagon. Waiting for the video to download. Not getting a great dl speed from the site...only 42 kb/s on cable=>wirless G band network. I'll tell ya about the vid once it's dl'd

EWW NEVER!
BTW, To remove all of those nasty horizonal lines, you need to de-interlace. If your camera has a frame mode instead of interlaced mode, Use it instead. That way, you wont have to do any timely post-processing on the computer to make the video look good, that and it will be easier for the camera to compress before it hits the tape (1 field vs. 2 fields[interlaced]) resulting in a higher quality video stream. Interlacing was only introduced to video streams because the phosperous on old TV's wouldn't stay illuminated long enough, so the TV's would scan out every other line instead of all at once, so the people who defined the standard for RF modulation went along with this and interlaced the video stream. Wow thats a big run-on sentence.
Only good DV cameras can record in frame mode. There is no reason to use interlaced mode with a digital video camera unless your dumping the tape directly to an RF signal where it will be sliced up again anyways.
Aspect ratio is all messed up because you apparently used MPEG1 encoding, which dosn't support many custom aspect ratios (due to the way it encodes [read: macroblocking]) (also: havn't looked at file yet, still downloading)
Edit: Saw the video. So that's the infamous canyan. Sweet. I have some criticism, because I want another video and I want it to be better
Hold the camera still. Seems trivial and easy to do, but it's hard as fuck, I've been there. Easy way to do it is to add mass to the camera, this reduces the FAST shakes, but makes it a pain to hold the camera up in the air for long periods of time, which can be good because then you'd naturally seek for a solid brace to hold the camera against. Try not to move the camera much at all, pick a decent view point, and hold it still or move it slowly. Notice in movies that a steady cam during chase sequences makes for a more pleasureable & more professional experience than a balls to the wall shaky camera?
Oh yah, if you stick the cam out the window, turn down the volume if you can during post-editing for us
I loved the part where you just accelerated past that guy, ahaha "Whooops!" Kickass man, Can't wait for more.
Sorry just geting around to responding... do me a favor tell your friend he sucks large balls at filiming. Very large balls. If it wasn't for how much balls your friend sucks that would be an awesome video. I can't wait to see ya go through that with no one else on the road... or at least no one slower than you.
First, about the filming, my friend does blow, and when I get my camera mount, I can stick it to ANYWHERE on the outside of the car and its gonna rule.
And just wait, when I get good footage of me fucking rippin it up on that canyon. But I really need new tires, I just got nice dunlops in janurary, I driove them about 5k miles, and put about 30k miles of wear on em...hehe... .
so just sit back, you'll get your video, your jerks, and your pleasure..just wait for it.

and I know stuff., yeah it was dunny what my friend said, Ijust love how the guy thought he was gonna do something and then he just looks at us like "damnit..there goes my dignity", and we laughed so hard when we watched it the first and 17th time, its really a lot funnier if you TURN UP the volume right before that part, and you can hear the audi that comes up and honks at him, lol.
