Hey mate, good driving and great footage. Agree with Jim the smoothness of the video is exceptional. Also the camera view equally as impressive. Feels like your stting on the front of your grille.
Regards

Sorry Jim, trade secret...

Camera is http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/otek-high-definition-video-camera/, which retails at $199, but every now and again they drop the price to $149.  Records to SD card, get them cheap from any number of places.

The video was captured by pressing the record button, then going driving, then pressing the stop button.

Dumped from video card to MacPro at home, it's native HD, so it's 720P.

Used Trackvision 2.1 (see, when I said I needed your serial to evaluate it, I wasn't telling porkies) to overlay the data.  My GPS reception is buggered atm, so the trackmap and timing had to be scrapped, time for a new GPS antenna.

Then used h.264 encoding (the same as it comes in) at the lowest setting for output to vimeo.

Voila.

Cheers
Stuart

172kmh!!!!  Show-off 

Nice video - I'm still fricking about with TrackVision to get proper quality output (especially for DVD) - seems to not like the capture from my Canon DV cam.  I should also try out vimeo also - a lot of good stuff seems to be moving there.

What's wrong with your GPS?  And how do you get accurate km/h without the GPS?  Have you got a wheel sensor?
