Video from Phillip Island Sprint on Saturday

[tjb0274]

First upload from the in-car camera - Ricciardi spinning at southern loop.

Southern Loop; You get any wider than mid track and the road goes off camber . It all happens pretty quickly after that. Good video.

By the way what software are you using. I'm having trouble uploading some video  from the weekend,(lost my Arc soft video editing software)
so i would be interested in knowing what everybody is using.

Yeah - the recovery car guys picked it up for me when they did the lunch run for the marshalls

Yeah, I was kind of aware of the camber but didn't realise it would be so sudden!

It's a 2 step process for me at the moment. I'm using RaceRender2 to add the data visualisations, and it transcodes the video into a wmv format when it does that. I'm then using ffmpeg to extract the sections I want to upload and transcode them to H.264 with ACC audio encoding, which seems to be what YouTube likes.

I don't do a lot of video stuff, but I generally use ffmpeg because it can do everything if you're prepared to spend the time to learn the appropriate incantations.

This was my first attempt at HD, and I'm reasonably pleased with the result, although I'm going to experiment with ffmpeg parameters to get the size down a bit.

Sorry - wasn't trying to be obscure!  RaceRender (http://www.racerender.com/) is a sort of specialised video editing program. It's main purpose is to read the output from a data logger and render it as overlayed "instruments" on an in-car video, although it can do other things. However it's limited in the video formats it can output.

ffmpeg is the main Linux video processing app. It's open source, and it's been around for donkeys' years in one form or another. It's command line only - no graphical user interface. It's big strength is that it can cope with pretty much any kind of video or audio encoding format, so it's very useful for converting from one format to another. I use it to convert the video file that RaceRender creates into a format that is better for me to store on my video archive at home, as well as being easier to upload to YouTube. I get it to compress the file at the same time.

Yes - I was somewhat chastened by how fast you caught me through T1!  Did you get the car back OK yesterday?

[Ben33]

My turn =)

Here is the preview video from Phillip Island. If I didn't get a chance to talk to you about the DVD on the day please PM me. The dvd will feature and extended highlights video as well as around 2 hours of on track footage. Watch this one in 1080p if you have the bandwidth..!

Thanks,
Ben

T1 is the best part for our car, caught many there through bravery, determination and sheer stupidity (plenty of that).

Took all day to get car back, no problems.

Will upload lap passing you at Southern Loop shortly.

In the highlight video, that's Dean (car 210) spinning at honda again, second time caught on video, hope it wasn't on the warm up lap.
