Has anyone else made one of these videos yet?

Yes, I have - see the start of this post!

Yes, based on the ones posted previously, thought I would play copycat  . I prefer still photography, but have a DV camera also. Modified some photo clamps so I could mount the camera in various places on the bike, bars facing forward, down tube facing forward so you could see some of the front wheel in the shot, and one time on a down tube facing back with a portion of the exhaust in the shot. Kind of fun actually. Took a bit to figure some things out, such as the image stabilization helps and only works if the camera is set to "manual." First ones I took with it clamped to the bar without image stabilization were pretty nausiating to watch.

So, Bob, where are your videos?

[Bob Wessner]

I'm thinking some things are best viewed in the privacy of one's home.  Besides, not sure where/how to post video.

bob,i suppose it depends on what kinds of movies you`re refering to.

OK, figured out how to create a stream and found space to upload it. I still use a dial-up connection so it took a while (ha, ha) even though we have very clean fast dial-up lines. I was wondering if someone with a broadband connection would give this a try and let me know what it looks like. When I tried to download it, streaming over dial-up sucked, but also the image was much larger than I selected at rendering time, yet when I play it locally it is the correct size.

I don't think this will make Stephen Spielberg seek alternative employment.

Bob, it downloaded into my temp file. Played fine. Even with DSL I have trouble getting steady streaming video. Size was OK.
But 10.9MB, how long did that take you to upload on a phone line?

Great video Bob!!!

Like Dennis said , all you have to do is right click on it and save to your hard drive.
I watched it full screen on a 19" monitor and it looked great.

Let's just say I was able to shave, shower, make a pot of coffee and let the dog out.

Hmm, I played it locally at full-screen (also a 19" monitor) and the quality sucked, very fuzzy. It was rendered at 320x240. At that setting it was much clearer and sharper.. guess it should be though, eh?

Well great compared to my digital camera set on movie mode
