konradptr 0 #1 October 21, 2002 And yes, I will buy beer... I just uploaded it up into ftp.skydivingmovies.com, titled "colorado.mpg". It is ~50mb, and about 3:17 in length... So if you are bored at work, take a look... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

konradptr 0 #4 October 21, 2002 I've been taking videos for about the last year, and fire-wired a lot between my camera and the people I jumped with. This was my first "product" out of Adobe Premiere, a whole bunch of clips with music... All freeflying, some swooping, etc.. Just a documentary of some well-organized craziness... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
konradptr 0 #5 October 21, 2002 I knew someone was going to read that and come into the post just because of the "first". It isn't my first camera jump, I've jumped with a camera since jump ~80.

konradptr 0 #7 October 21, 2002 Oh yes, I'll even let you download it for free... It just takes a couple minutes to get because it is ~50mb, but you just go onto ftp.skydivingmovies.com, and it is in the uploads section... I'm curious what everyone thinks about it... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cornholio 0 #15 October 22, 2002 I usually don't have a problem viewing videos, but yours I do. What format is it in ? What did you encode it with ? Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast!

Kennedy 0 #16 October 22, 2002 Stacy I don't like you anymore. Well, no, I still do but you suck because you get to stay warm and I'm still stuck in the DC area for at least the next 7-8 months. Shitty. Shitty Shitty SHITTY. edit ========= While you're at Skydive Hot-lana, say hi to the Ga-Tech crew for me, and tell them the Terps are laughing at them.

konradptr 0 #17 October 22, 2002 I just let Premiere export it as an .mpg. It is showing in my directory that it is a "Movie File" .mpg Hope this helps, nothing incredible in here, swoopwise, mostly freeflying...... ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad......

pilotdave 0 #19 October 22, 2002 Cool video...finally got it after 3 hours or so. Definitely something strange with the codec. my media player seemed to download one but something isnt quite right. On mine the picture is squeezed in so it's taller and narrower than it should be. But it still looks great. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #24 October 22, 2002 Ok, uploading to the site. /freefly/colorado.wmv. Will be available in 7 minutes. Video came out a bit choppy but its down to 6.5 megs. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #25 October 22, 2002 "Video came out a bit choppy but its down to 6.5 megs" The true "art" in making video for the net is to get it down to a realistic download size, whilst maintaining quality. This means you have to try out different codecs for different applications....Try Divx codec, or if if you can get hold it, a free encoder I used to like was Tsunami..... IMHO 50 megs is way too big for your average dialup user... For advice from people who have done all the experimenting try out http://www.computervideo.net/ and go to the self help pages....-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
