resize it using Virtual Dub, just google it its easy to find.

then save it as a DivX avi, should be quite small then and reasonable quality depending on what divX encoder settings u use![/code]

So i returned home and grabbed the CF card from the Digi SLR (2GB Sandisk Extreme III) and damn, it worked a treat!

Now all i have to do is work out how to make the video small enough to post somewhere! Any ideas? I managed to get a fairly small vid down to about 60MB but am still struggling!

Cheers

Try, http://www.photobucket.com/ this allows you to posts pics and vids I think it shrinks it down automaticaly.

not to bad - like the way the camera has moved to leave ur speed out on the latter part of the run

Looks like you've caught just about every bit of bad driving that Canberrans are renowned for

I had a chuckle when I figured out where you were going, although you didn't pop up the front as you went past CMC the first time...don't you know it's tradition!

We definitely need to get you out with it on a ride through the Cotter or up the Clyde

We will have to get out when there is a nice day.......

Okay guys. Now I'm desperate to have a bikie vid. I have a digicam which can take 30 seconds clips, at this time I will live with this

Question is: how do you mount it ? It uses generic tripod mount.

mine is a bit of a heinz but it is mainly a ram mount attached to the camera connection off a tri-pod and it is attached to the bike by a stainless l bracket on the fairing brace(99 zx9r)
