Rob_P Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hey guys, well i'm getting a little bored of putting pictures up on here to show what our riding is like! I really want to make a vid soon with summer on the horizon! Now, the thing is my girlfriend has a very nice camera that we could film with but I can't connect it to my laptop because the cam wasn't supplied with the cables that we need! We could go and buy them but there pretty expensive! Talking to rocktrials on yesterday talking about drums and he sent me a vid of him playing, turns out he filmed it with a normal digital camera on the movie function! This got me thinking what the qualitly would be like on my digi camera as it's a good one! So i went about to make a short drum vid of myself! I ended up making 2 as follows: 1. 1:59 long and shot in 640x480 2. 1 min long and shot in 320x240 Now vid 1 ended up being pretty good quality, good sound and no delayed movement but being a MASSIVE 120MB ;) :( This seems a stupid size for such a short vid! Why is this?? Vid number 2 was good quality but obviously not as good as vid 1 but half the time and only 21MB :- Now if I made a trials vid I would want it to be atleast 4 mins long and fairly good quality as well! Now can anyone suggest which format I should use and is there anyway of making it less MB because if I use the 640x480 format then it's going to be nearly 300MB! :) Sorry for waffling on! Please help!! Cheers Rob (Y) :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=12734 You wanna be using a proper camera really. Mpeg format at approx 8meg/minute, 320x240, will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towler Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 stick the pics into vdub and create them into avi's it also compresses them :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Cheers Tart! Looks confusing! Never made a trials vid before! ;) O well, give it a bash! stick the pics into vdub and create them into avi's it also compresses them :- ← Put the pics in a vdub??? Whats a vdub! Im talking about making a vid not pics or am I missing something!? Cheers Rob (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctc_666 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Wouldn't it just be easy to just compress the final vid? 640x480 is good enough quality for a vid. Or have i missed the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towler Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 well if you are recording with your camera then does it not come up on you pc as loads of different frame shots, so if you put them into a programme called virtual dub, it will render it and put them into an avi. good quality and you can change the quality and everything.
