OK, I know some of the video's I uploaded to Photobucket from my last ride (The thread titled, "Another Day On The Snow") ... where kinda hard to listen to ... so, I've spent the entire day work'in them over in Windows Movie Maker. :coffee:

And I reworked a bunch of others ... so I can upload them to YouTube .... and then post'em here for everyone to enjoy .... YouTube has a 1GB size limit where Photobucket has a 100MB limit. So, being the the kinda guy that figures, "Hey, I got 1GB to play with, let's put some of the video's together !" :icon_thumleft: .... HOWEVER ... when you do that ... it takes a L-O-N-G time to upload them ... like hours !!!! :eek: :sleepy2:

Anyway ... here's the first two reworked videos ... hope ya enjoy'em .... & as I get others uploaded, I'll post them as well .....



Later ....

Your hard work paid off Gunny. That was pretty cool. It was neat when you turned off the cam and then turned it on, it was like you hit a button and changed clothes and riding location. Also in the second half, the sun had a black spot right in the middle of it. "Black Hole Sun".

Well Thanks Battlegun ... :notworthy: .... it took me forever. I'm now uploading the second video set ... it started at *AM ... I'll see how long it takes to load a 903MB movie .... :sleepy2:


About the "Black Hole Sun" thing ... with most cameras if you face them in the direction of the sun, the sun will wash out the picture or movie ... this little bugger puts that black spot over it ... and a lot of my rid'in seems to be into the sun ... so that small feature is a real video saver !! :cheer:

Well, keep watch'in, cause there's more experimental video movies to come !! :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumleft:

Dude, i gotta tell ya that was a killer video. I was also going to mention the coolness factor of your push-of-a-button wardrobe change.

I think the entire thing rocked and is possibly the best atv in teh snow video I've watched in smoothness, colors, etc. What kinda of camera are you using and what does the mount setup look like. Snap a pic, i wanna see it rigged up on there.

Good work,

Buster

Well ... Thank You ... Thank You Very Much !! bowdown bowdown bowdown

The camera is a Go-Pro Helmet HERO, 5 MP, 170 deg lens camera. Here's the link where I bought it.
GoPro Helmet Hero Wide 5 MP Go Pro Camera + Free 2GB Memory - PointofViewCameras.com

And, last Friday I also ordered this one, along with a handlebar mount, to give a try out ...

Man, that Hero takes great footage. i had tried to get in contact with them to donate a couple to us at one time but they don't have a freaking phone number published ANYWHERE, not even inthe paperwork that comes with the units. So, I emailed them and never heard back as I suspected.

Ya know, I always have a problem with a company that is producing a product to the general public and marketing it, yet they won't provide any type of phone number. It speaks horribly for their customer service right off the bar.

Yeah, you're probably right .... but I guess I figured it would work & I wouldn't have any issues .... knock on wood ... :beer"

Maybe when you get your new one, you'll send the Hero right on my way. :)

I agree Buster, that footage has promted me to get serious about getting one of these doohicks. They would be a tremendous asset for the solo rider and product reviews!

Ok Buster, and anyone else ... here's some pics of the mounting system that came with the camera. :hello:

Yes, it is plastic ... it has several different little add on arms, so you can mount it in almost any position.

This is how I have it mounted on my snowshoes for the video's in this thread ... And, I included the pic of the RAM mounts I bought to mount it on the handlebars or the loop on the front rack (notice RAM mount ball) .... those video's are being uploaded now ... 5 1/2 hrs so far ... I figure at least another hour. :sleepy2:

As a side note, I've been making the "Movies" using the original "avi" video clip format the video is taken in. AVI videos are HUGE ! ... so I have a "Video Converter" program, and I'm converting them to "wmv" ... and I'll see how long it takes them to load & if the quailty is reduced. (It looks good on my computer in with the Window Media Player) :icon_thumleft: ;;t;;

But for instance, I took a 837MB avi video & converted it to wmv ... and reduced it's size to 167MB .... That's a HUGE reduction in file size & maybe in upload time. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

OK guys, here's the second set of movie videos ... after seven hours, YouTube crashed & I thought I had lost this upload ... I lucked out I guess ... :beer"

The first video the camera is mounted on the handlebar .... the second one, which is a little too brite ... I rigged up a harness using the head band & a bino harness, & mounted the camera in the middle of my chest .... :cheer:

Enjoy ..... BTW .... the rest of'em I'm putting into photobucket ... it loads MUCH faster ....

I don't know whether I'm more impressed with the clarity of the vids or the awesome terrain you get to ride. Good job Gunny, your efforts paid off again.
