Lastly, just to add:
The roofrack camera still works! All the trees did was bend the metal bar it was attached to and cause it was only duct taped onto the bar, the tape gave way rather than busting the camera.
It lives to fight another day ! :P
Edge:
All i can say Fisha is...... Job... very well done 8) , cant wait for your next vid.

Thanks for the explaination Don.
Nice, if slightly complicated setup of cameras.
I'm lucky that my camera is a Sony DCR-TRV265E so I get direct DV images that I can download via Firewire into the PC. Someone else was having problems getting clips from a Sony DVD camera and had to record it onto a DVD recorder, transfer onto DVD but he was getting a slow image rate on the PC. :?
I've done some stuff with Ulead Video Studio 9 which I quite like, but I've yet to have a play at reducing it enough to be able to upload onto Youtube.
They work well on a DVD player and are good quality but I need to bring the resolution down to reduce the file size for upload. :roll:
I hadn't thought about using a standard CCTV camera TBH, I like the effect and versitility (SP) of it though. My camera normally just sits on a windscreen mount and, although it's nice and steady, it gets a bit boring after a while!!
I keep meaning to pop in and see you when I'm passing Skelly, but I'm normally strapped for time. :(
I'll make it one day. :wink:

The Sony is has a firewire output and the laptop a firewire input which is sooooo far much better than any other method of transfer.
The Sony unit is also good in that it can do pass-thru, so i could feed it the analogue output from the VCR and then it would translate it into a DV format for easy capture on the laptop. Worked really well.
A good thing about the roof camera was that i put it on a long metal pole which i clamped to the roof rack with jubilee clips. This made for being able to easily slide the camera in and out to different distances from the car. You should be able to see this by the differences in angles between when you first see the car after the 'drumclog' title and when its going through the trees.
As for more videos. It'll be a while before you get any off roading ones. The only other one i've done like that is already on youtube for the horses.
That being said, i have a few good ideas for bike/mtb related vids. Just need to sort out how to actually film. There are a few more issues to cover when you have to carry all the camera equipment on the bike !
