Shaun and I got out for some Thurs. am fun before work over in San Diego...
On the first run down I'm *trying* to keep up, which is pretty much impossible. Shaun is an ex UCI World Cup Downhiller!(he placed 2nd overall a few years back)
The first is a 660Mb mpeg4 H.264 compressed to Flash
In the blip.tv clip, check out the second run down.. you can see just how fast he's moving compared to my snails pace :-) from the first run!
Taken with a Sony HAD Helmet Cam feeding into a DCR PC100 Mini DV Handycam. It's std def video and you can see the interlacing lines(tape format)
Gotta figure out a better way to process this, when you squish the files down to reasonable sizes, they just look bad. The HD clips out of my Kodak v1273 look better (they're recorded natively into 720p H.264 mp4 in camera)Guess it's time to start investigating solid state video cams!? (oh well)
Here is another example. Shaun and his buddy riding up at Big Bear CA. Notice the speed difference between him riding with a maxed out Turner 5 Spot bike and the Turner DHR (downhill) bike. Pretty amazing!
