Title: Video Test: Formula Abarth @ Silverstone

I tried recording a video of a race last Thursday night between Marty, Dick and I.  I don't know why Marty kept talking to himself during the race though  :P  Anyway, after much stuffing around I finally was able to edit it and upload to Youtube.

We were trying out the Tatuus Formula Abarth.  I think between multiple encoding/video conversions/YT it's lost a bit of quality.  See what you think, I might try recording Tuesday's races.


Cheers.

Do you use the 'look back' function?
Well done!
I bloody crash when I use 'look left/right'.
I'm a mirrors only man. ;)

BTW
The video was cool, commentry sucked. :P :-*

The video's good. I don't like the look back/sideways - I never use it. It jumps about too much. It's good to see it from your point of view - I can see just where you're getting the power down. Is this shadowplay? Can you record a whole race with that?

Because of my FOV I normally can't see any of the car mirrors in most cars, so I have gotten into the habit of using the "look back/sideways" a lot.  The virtual mirror just doesn't look right - it has some sort of fish eye view to it.

I used OBS - Open Broadcasting Software.  It's not very system intensive which is good, but being open source it's not very user friendly either.  Manageable with a bit of Googling though.

One of the better clips I've seen! Today anyway..  :o bit long but great example of Assetto Corsa. Good stuff Guybrush!
your right, Marty does carry on. He also talks a lot on team speak.

I was pretty slow with 3 psi in all tyres. Thanks Marty. I saw you in the pits messin' with my race tyres..

I edited out all your "shooshing" Dick.  And the part where you started talking about your favourite rom-com's, musicals with Lisa McCune, and suede making a come back.

I was just testing to see if the quality of the vid was passable... I'll be sure to make it more interesting during the races with lots of crashing and giving other drivers the finger... not the Rolph Harris kind.

Wait a second... I thought what happened on the track stayed on the track. I can never keep on track mind you..  ::)

don't get me wrong the video is excellent. Mainly the bits with me in it... the 1st 3 corners.

Here's something a bit shorter with some more action for you:

[youtube]e74xIhSQD04      [/youtube]

I think I'll start recording in 1080p instead of 720p.  It doesn't matter how good the encoding is, Youtube makes a mess of it.

Finally at work so I've had time to watch it.  :o Weekend ended up being filled with real-life stuff! Damn it.

Great clip, Maybe, just maybe I'm not the worst driver around after all. The bit when someone flies over your bonnet is classic. Gotta laugh at this game more than get peeved at it.

Quality is very good Guybrush. how long did it take to upload the long clip?? You don't really need to push past 720p really. It's not some wildlife doco. not everyone 'needs' 4K resolution like Marty does... :P
  Where is Marty anyway? I hope we didn't cyber-bully him too much??

Last I heard is that Marty was spending hours practicing at Silverstone trying to figure out how you were able to hold it flat through Copse.

A good thing 720p is OK as my system starts to chug trying to record above that.  It would be a lot easier if Kunos made the replay file a lot bigger and then you could switch cameras/drivers.

Took about 2 hours to upload the long one on my Ultra Fast 100 kb/s upload speed.

I knew that would rattle him.
I can go flat through Copse cause my entry speed is about 140kmh less than you guys.

Yea the cyber bullying has got to me so f you all  ;), actually just been a bit busy and not home much.

Yt does have a habit of butchering quality so I found you do need to give it pretty hq original footage to avoid it turning to complete crap. If you give it highly compressed footage even if it looks ok by the time yt re butchers it the video will look like crap.

Welcome back Marty!
Speaking of crap youtube clips.. These are my 1st clips ever.. nothing to do with AC. but thought I'd share cause I'm bored.
One is a short bike clip and one of me getting tattooed.. until the battery went flat.

WARNING! you will see me in these clips! I doubt I look like what you'd expect!

Ha, how's the happiness at 2.06 in the second vid Dick?  You look like you're about to either pass-out or destroy someone!

Good vids.  What format do you save them in and what do you use to edit them?  I'm using Avidemux - very basic but it works well with .mp4 and best of all, it's free.

I think i was getting a bit fed up with my knee cap being needled over and over! The tattooist is a friend of mine. He likes to make me hurt!

I think I was just using the editing software for GoPro (which both clips are filmed with) i think it's called Cineform. it's free but pretty basic. Then moved onto premier elements. Which is only $140 compared to the $1600 full version of premier, which I now have as well  8)
Premiere elements is actually quite adequate.
It's the capturing I need to sort out. I've got shadow play but it says I need a 3.4 processor at least.. i could overclock my q6600 to 3.4, but it might only be for a few seconds...

EDIT, they would have been recorded at 1080p at 30fps.
except the time lapse stuff which is still done with the gopro but it takes stills. forgot the exact format but it is equivalent to 780p when made into a MP4.
they are both uploaded as Mp4s

That helmet type cam effect is cool. Was the camera on your chest somehow? Have you ever tried attaching the camera directly to your helmet?

Has my gopro on my helmet in that clip.
I've got a chest mount as well, that's like a harness and is very comfortable. Not as obvious as a helmet mount either

Ive had Gopro's for quite a while pretty cool little camera and its been getting better every update. Here is one of my first a few years ago with the headband mount, an old hero 1 and a few sharks.  ;)

Dick I figured you looked as you do but I expected the tattoo you were getting to proclaim your love for Bieber and your bike to be quite a bit more pink.
Title: Re: Video Test: Formula Abarth @ Silverstone
Post by: Dick Forrest on July 07, 2014, 09:40:04 PM
can't say enough nice things about gopro! They are a must have really!

Those are fake tats, they wash off.  and not Bieber for me. I prefer 1D.

Your tank looks much bigger than mine.. you probably get that a lot though..

I don't know how your embedding the clips? doesn't look like it will work in preview

Yea slightly bigger fishtank I was in I think they call it the ocean, but yours looks nearly the same just a bit more colourful with smaller fish.

To embed a video here just use the video link code in the yt code not the full URL so as in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uD-nCN03s8 I just use the 0uD-nCN03s8 part of the link.

Absolutely beautiful Marty!! Great video. Where is Truk lagoon?
Title: Re: Video Test: Formula Abarth @ Silverstone
Post by: marty on July 07, 2014, 10:25:21 PM
Thanks Dick Its in Micronesia, Truk is pretty famous also known as chuuk lagoon as it gets very clear waters with lots of wrecks to dive. I did go to the Phillipines for some similar diving at a place called Coron but conditions were quite bad there and even though there are as many wrecks we couldnt really dive them as conditions were too bad for such dives.

I just came back from the Philippines in March.  Went to an island called siquijor, was great.

Dick, you have some ink there man, you are patient!  Like the videos.

Marty, I thought for a moment you had been to North Solomons,  we lived there for years, leaving in '88, my wife scuba dived there and saw many of the similar wrecks.   Being on a small island that had plenty of WW II activity and few peeps, the diving was unique in many ways.  She had told me of the cargo ships with the holds still full, swimming in the bays and Zeros coming into view sitting on the bottom.

It's taken two years but my leg is totally covered. Right arm is next. Intend to GoPro the whole thing.

There has been some great one-up-manship in this thread indeed!
