Douva 0 #1 January 11, 2005 This isn't anything special, but I wanted to see how well my computer and new video camera work for editing and outputting video, so I assembled this short video. It's just a 100 second highlight video edited from three of the training jumps Brains and I did at the Holiday Boogie. http://www.angelfire.com/biz7/lewiscr/LAST/skysurfing.mpg Or, if that doesn't work... http://www.angelfire.com/biz7/lewiscr/LAST/ For what it's worth, these were our first training jumps after a three month hiatus. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douva 0 #2 January 11, 2005 A couple of people have told me the video didn't play very smoothly for them, but I've watched it via the link a couple of times, and it plays fine on my computer, so I'm guessing you just need a fast enough broadband connection. Older 11mb/sec Wireless routers may not be fast enough for smooth playback.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names.

Watching that made me miss the "old" days when I used to shoot skysurf vids. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #6 January 11, 2005 Are you sure you have permission to use that footage?? I am using Roadrunner and it took freakin forever to load. Once it did, nice job editing out all my shitty flying. I never noticed the black circle when watching vids on the tv, not the fact that my still bracket is visible Is that something that happens when you put it on the computer?? Now i need to go watch that on a large screen or something. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douva 0 #7 January 11, 2005 QuoteI never noticed the black circle when watching vids on the tv, not the fact that my still bracket is visible Is that something that happens when you put it on the computer?? The ring of the lens and the still bracket are outside the "TV safe" viewing area. TV screens crop the outer edges of the frame. Watching the full frame on a computer screen, you're able to see the edges of the frame that aren't visible on a standard television set. Since your video camera is designed for home use, the viewfinder and LCD screen are designed to show only the TV safe area so that people don't crop their subjects out of home videos. Professional video cameras show the full frame in the viewfinder, but a frame line indicates the TV safe viewing area.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

Deuce 1 #18 January 12, 2005 I got a mini-DV tape right here, provided to me by the San Marcos crew that says: Skydive San Marcos Crew at Eloy Holiday Boogie: Jason Lamley: Freeflying flyby Jeff Standly: Skysurfing Douva: Bowling/Misc Johsh Zammit: Bowling/Moonwalk I'm saving this one for last. I'm thinking rainy-day bowling in Casa Grande with RW gripper suits with booties on is the highlight reel.
