Can we get these in non-streaming format?

[quote author=Ferdinand link=board=news;num=1105122835;start=15#29 date=02/20/05 at 23:21:31]Some of our in-car video clips from last night's SOWR:

Great vids!

Now my friends will understand Lower Old Hastings;D

I will have some video up in a few days which can be downloaded (for all those who don't like streaming).

I will post links when they are up.

Or -- stream them (watch it in browser), then open your internet cache on the hard drive and just copy from there. A bit easier as you can just move all the videos at once.

Might want to sort by size and simply move the longest videos. If you have a lot of junk, delete cache before streaming.

To wit:
Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> (Temporary Internet Files) Settings -> View Files

After streaming, They'll be named something like
5021515658[1].wmv
or
c-5021515658.wmv
etc

Cool!  I like seeing other people's in-car video.  

I want to know what I'm doing wrong and it really helps to study what other people are doing.  I would really love to see some in-car from Jud or Louis!!

We made a few dumb mistakes along the way.  I kissed a few too many snowbanks and Christoph called some questionable route instructions.  At one point he counted us down to a Caution sharp right over crest, so we had to slow right down for that, except there was nothing but left turns after every crest for almost a full kilometre after that.  Turns out I'd been using a wee bit too much wheelspin and our odo was way off.

People seeing our videos often comment on how calm and relaxed Christoph seems.  Well he was way too relaxed this time.  I had to keep elbowing him because he was falling asleep on me!  Then he told me to turn right when we were not yet halfway up the length of lower Old Hastings.  Are you sure about that?  This doesn't feel right to me.  Check that distance again, eh.  Sh*t.  Go back, go back!

Up to that point, Martin and Ken had been running right behind us in the order with their Nissan 240.  After our off-route incident they were three cars ahead of us.  But they were always faster than us anyway in the tricky stuff and, if not for some minor stuffage just before the last checkpoint, they would surely have finished 2nd in Intermediate (behind the uncatchable John V/Alan O!!).

So I'm thinking we might need to make some upgrades for next year.  Maybe we need to get us one a dem newfangled four-wheel-drive thingys.  Or maybe we just need to order up and install some larger cojones...

Sounds like navigators were relaxing & falling asleep left and right!

I'm bringing coffee, Red Bull, and maybe a cattle prod or two with me next time

I've been trying to cut my 4 hours of videos to reasonably interesting parts, but can't seem to find the right, easy to use, fast software... I'm on my 6th suggested program right now - half of them don't want to open my AVI files, other half is too cumbersome and slow. I'll post them up eventually though

our first rough clip (8MB WMV)


It'll be reworked once I have the time to actually look through it all for the "good bits"


(incidentally, I thought it looks a bit fast because of the low placement of camera; but all my non-rally friends are non-pulsed at how 'slow' we're going   )
