A video of Sunday

[gruffy]

I've just uploaded a video put together from the footage we shot on Sunday (we, being the Surrey convoy).

www.bonsaicreative.com/pistonfest03.mov
37Mb Quicktime Movie
6 minutes

Many thanks to Luca (as always) and to John S for the loan of their passenger seats. Also, a big thanks to everybody in our convoy and to everyone who made PistonFest what it was, not least Ted himself.

Cheers all

Top quality! The Porsche looks fantastic in it....worth the download in its own right. Top editing too.....guess I'll have to get on with the SR4 proper now.

Bloody work web connection. What do all my staff think they're doing? Working or something? T1 my arse.

Have to wait till I get home...

GREAT JOB, that just brightened up my morning

I can't get it to play in QuickTime. It says QuickTime is missing software required to perform this operation. Unfortunately, it is not available on the QuickTime server.

Any suggestions?

Same problem here; I've just downloaded all of the QT updates (it doesn't find them automatically, but initiate an update manually and it seems to get stuff) but still have problems - I'm now getting an "unkown error number -8992".

Any ideas? When I get a moment I'll try the reboot-the-pooter thang.

I was running version 6 it played ok, just updated using the link within Quicktime to 6.3, it stills play
fine

Gruffy produces video in quicktime, as he's a Mac user....we're working on getting it into mpg and wmv asap, which should be today.

Worked fine on my pooter though, using Quicktime 5 I think.

PS. I'll be making a DVD of the above material, and will either append it to the end of Surrey Run 4 as a little extra, or make a larger DVD of the event in its own right, if I get the footage.

This depends on a number of things however. If others would like me to send me their videos, and if people are happy for me to use the photos they've posted up, I'll make a DVD. It would be up to Ted if it would be PH and PF branded. (I'll email you offline on this Ted).

All I need to know, is do people want this, and are there many other videos available, as we were only there on Sunday, predominantly with convoy and drag racing footage.

This is a problem with compatibility between the new versions of Internet Explorer and QuickTime. Apple has provided a patch which fixes this problem.
To restore compatibility, Apple has provided an ActiveX control. Got to www.apple.com/quicktime/download/qtcheck/ where you will be prompted to download and install this control if you do not already have it.

Have you guys got your PC's Quicktime setup associated with another player?

Thanks for the suggestion, but my install checks out OK.

Quicktime Error code -8992 = codecOffscreenFailedPleaseRetryErr // Sequence Grabber errors

This relates to the Image Compression Manager.

I think the thing to do would be to uninstall and delete as much Quicktime shit...software as possible, download the very latest version and install that. It could also be that you are missing a critical Windows update so check that too.

And if all else fails

Alternatively download BINK RAD Tools which can convert Quicktime .mov files to .AVI

I'll do this tonight and post a link to an avi and wmv...on Gruffy's behalf.

Note: the video is of the convoy of 7 cars going down there on the Sunday morning, interspersed with events on the drag strip.

Morning all,

I've just exported the movie as an .mp4 file (don't get scared, it's just a jumped-up, new-fangled .mpeg4). Should run fine on any latest edition players that handle mpegs.

That's uploading now at 28Mb. According to my FTP program it should be done by 12:45 (Broadband my arse), so check here www.bonsaicreative.com/pistonfest03.mp4 around that time.

I've gotta leave my machine for a bit now, but hopefully it should just take care of itself.

Have put up 2 .wmv files, of differing filesize (and quality), so you can choose based on your connection speed.

HIGH:
www.sleepy-fish.com/images/videos/pistonfest_high.wmv 15,668Kb

LOW:
www.sleepy-fish.com/images/videos/pistonfest_low.wmv 4,465Kb

Probably best to do a File > Save As...
