141MB? Hey M@ didn't you buy some video software lately? Convert it to MPEG1 or 2 and it should be fine... or is this a full featured 2 hr special? :D

Videos are a pain.. need lots of CPU, memory and fast disk.

I'm downloading your movie now... it will take 38 min on my 1MB DSL connection .

[M@]

I'll play with the compression... it's not wicked long. Maybe 3 min. Not super high rez either - I don't get it. But I'll figure it out.

I use Roxio Video Wave 5 and convert to MPEG1 (definately not the best quality) and they comes in at about 10MB/min (320x240).

MPEG2 is the more desireable choice and comes in at about 30MB/min (640x480) or 1.8GB/hour.

Why is it that every time i hear :doh: I think of that video of the guy cartwheeling down the chute. Perhaps it has something to do with the Springfield Gorge.

[skicdave]

Hey M@ great job! Was that RR coming down The Chute? Who was that coming down the Lip?

Nice production work!

Tnx for the mention in the trailer :o

[M@]

RR coming down Chute.

Rainman coming over lip on the right of the cliff, RR on the left after him.

just finished watching the video, from what i could pick out it was pretty sweet, but it played upside down. Any suggestions on fixing that?

I'll render the clip of your friend hucking the cliff there - it'll be smaller, and I'll try a couple different file types so you'll get it for sure.

What?? Funny what puters will do sometimes. Never seen video play upside down though :D

I fixed it, for some reason by divx player was being obstinate. It worked in a different program. :D

[surfy]

Sure am glad I'm on an OC-38. 3 minutes to download.

[Mumster]

Off topic a bit, but Hey Surfy - try to grab the surfette and head over to TR this weekend....I'm trying to get the mumlets and Dadster to go. SkiCDave has organized a whole herd of folks.... :skiplow:

[M@]

Rendering a <20meg version right now. Rightous MPEG2.

Will make sepreate version out the Cliff huck - and if that kid doing the jump at the bottom is watching here: I'll have that cut out to. But you gotta post!

M@

[M@]

Here's the SMALLER VERSION at 17.6 Meg.

I'm doing some editing of it as well. Putting names to some of the skiing dots.

Mumster,

I wish I could get out there this weekend but it's not looking promising. Surfette has a Physics test and I can't get Friday night off. Little tough to drive all night and hit Pinkham at 7:00 am without any sleep at all. Body parts break there without sufficient rest.

Very, very impressive. Rep points 4 u.

[M@]

It's getting better too. This software (Pinnacle Studio9) is really fun.

[Bannick]

nice job M@....
"the longer we sit here the longer we live...." words to live by.

[M@]

Okay: I put another version of the movie up... I think I'm done this time.

Until Rainman sends me that little clip of the ravine dance...

Here it is in all it's glory: 20.8Meg with lots of names assigned.

Don't think anyone's asked yet -- what are the tunes? Not something you recorded at the concert last weekend...

[skicdave]

I was going to ask that too. M@ has good taste.

[M@]

I should probably list the tune in the cedits eh?

It's "Push on till the Day" by Trey Anastasio, the lead guitar player from Phish.

Trey toons are kewl cause he's big into the "Build up and Release" type stuff - so you get a couple musical parts where it's BANG! And you throw some dood catching air right there and it's all good.

[BladeGirl]

Wow, that was great, thanks M@! fun from the doggie chasing the 'cat at the start to the chicken clucking noises at the end. Made me wish I was there right now!

[Mumster]

Good work, M@!

[loafnut]

very nice job M@, and thanks for splitting it up and shrinking it.

[Moose]

Nice job on the latest edits! I like the additional Sherburne footage. Helps keep the hope of skiing out this weekend alive.
...and Trey rocks

Push On... Funny choice... you know what that song is about, right?

"Glass table in a 5 star room, and the sun always comes up much too soon..."

Wait a minute..... You mean all the rumours about Trey are true????

[pscopa]

M@,

Great job editing. Really enjoyed it and the tune.

Thanks again for sharing it with us.

Paul :skicool:

[M@]

Kinda figured Trey was saying something about drugs or booze or pot (wait, that's a drug right?) - but the toon is kewl, and I really like the organ.

"Little bit a mary all night long."

[Finhead]

Great video. Did not know I was going to be imortalized. :o

I like the effects and transition of the pixs. I now need to go back and redo my video from last year. I also need to resize down from 500mb.

[Castlerock]

Good Job M@. I like the enhanced version. It brought a smile to my face. Thee feeling of first tracks, or the feeling of accomplishment you get from challenging yourself and then successfully executing.

[Finhead]

I wish. I did not get first tracks, but I did challenge myself, although not quite successfully. It was definelty exhilarating.

M@ did capture all of the above quite well.

[Castlerock]

Finhead, You (all of you) get the bonus points just for being there that day. It was probably the biggest "weather score" I've ever heard of. The last thing thought you guys would get is sun with undercast.

I have no complaints. :D The day was amazing. I survived and learned some valuable lessons about my abilities :skierembarrassed: :skierpetrified: which will keep me coming back, but within limits. Any day followed by another is a good one in my book. :)

Outstanding vid M@!!! I've just watched it twice, and I think I'll do it again! Very nice editing, with the interspersed pix n ' all... Trez beans! HB

[ILOVE2SKI]

That video was good.
