Link doesn't work, would you check it please? Thanks :)

probably the profanity on the link. I'm guessing the **** is the S word?

It's because the file name has a swear word and it has asteriks replacing the word thus breaking the link. ;)

Hah, yea I caught that a second after I posted.

The S word doesn't work, I'm not gonna work my way in guessing which word it is, so could u give us a link we can use? Thanks, man.
 
I did think "poo", mdnite:). It says IE was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again.

Is it just me? If not may I recommend www.YouSendIt.com
 
Nope, there's no way you're going to get past the swear filter. You need to rename your file.

Copy and paste that on the link thingy with err.. the s word where the stars are

THe link does work, jus that there is a censor thing on this forum and it shortens the link too with (...)

That's what I did. Link just doesn't work for me.

works like a charm. Thanks for re-uploading. I'll post comments after I watch.

I've used profanity in my speech all my life, for once it has done me wrong.. :crazy:

edit: comments- Yes a pretty nice drift on a popular bend for the drifters. Good angle, good speed, decent countering. If you would've shown your 'not-so-good' drifts as well, there's alot of drifters here that could observe and help you on what you may need to improve on.

^Check my edited posted^

Didn't want to double-post.. guess I did anyway..

By the way, you mind editing your 3rd post on this thread? Wouldn't want the mods giving you a hard time about it.

Done and thnx for the comment on my drift, I will add my bad ones, mostly have bad exiting of corners, that time in my good drift was probably my only good one.
 
extreme car
man..... a corner..... that's boring show us a lap... nice drift anyway

keep it up 👍

:ouch: As i said b4 i would feel embarassed if i did, if i had a lap fulled with good drifts then i would feel confident.

and thnx for ur comment :)
 
ya, not a bad looking drift. Could've been tighter coming out though.

but the bulk of my comments are about the capture quality:
please dont take offense to this, but the capture quality really was bad. I would expect a 20s vid 3mb in size in wmv format to look absolutely amazing for those 20 seconds. I've made a 4minute video in roughly the same resolution with no missing frames that only occupied 5mb. I just dont see where the size came from in this case, since it played so jerky and seemed to have so many missing frames.

here's my suggestions:
download virtual dub - its free and captures videos better than most commercial programs do. It's compatible with most capture devices
http://www.virtualdub.org/index

next, get the huffyuv codec - its lossless. The captures with this codec are massive, but look amazing. I have never once seen it skip a frame during a capture with this codec.
http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/huffyuv.html

then, do your captures in virtual dub in yuy2 format with huffyuv as your compression type.
exit capture mode, open the previously captured avi in the editor and save the segments you want as another avi with huffyuv codec used for compression. (you can also apply filters in this step - you could have used more brightness in your vid). This step will balloon te file size. 2mins of video usually occupy 1gb for me. But as long as you have the hard drive space, dont worry about it.

then, take this massive avi into another program that can create wmv's, like windows movie maker, vegas video (i use this), etc etc and do the rest of your editting here. You can get very good compression and keep the file sizes quite low in this manner.
My first gt4 vid is a poor example, but vids i have made since then (not available, btw) have been 3 or 4 minutes in length, and i can compress them to 20mb or less in 640x480 with no noticeable losses in quality from how the ps2 displays the game on my tv.

if nothing else, i would really recommend you try virtual dub. It's a great tool with more options than you will ever use.
 
Thnx for the advice Tankspanker, but i did it with my m8s computer and he has a P133 and he sux at compressing (as he says) 👎 I will make better quality videos nxt time when i get my own tv input. By then i should have got the hang of drifting.

EDIT: Also his computer has a small amount of Disk space so... cant have donka files in it as its already got a pile in it as it is
 
I'm looking forward to your next video, and pls a lap of drifting at a track pls

:) :) dbl smilly for a perfect entry and exit drift :dopey:
 
Im currently trying to get the hang of Tsukuba (Damn its hard), when i master it, thats when my nxt video will come out. Any tips anyone? Cause here's my problem, "Understeer"... and i slide off the track.

Excellent choice in track, ragnerock. Good luck, it takes some effort to get down. You have to brake earliar. The hairpins may not look that sharp, but the track is narrow. So keep the pace accordingly, the gear change meter may be handy. When it flashes, brake. Check out the thread "Why Tsukuba". It might help you 👍
