Wow, lots of footage I havn't seen before.. they're both great!! Thanks for the time and effort guys, really I thoroughly enjoyed them both.

 

I had to vote Stingray, he actually used video footage from my site. And he even used my favorite burnout footage of my car

 

wow....people doing burn outs....how unprofessional. I hate both of them but i dont hate the 2nd one as much

 

Stingraye's music selection won me over.

 

I agree that there was unfortunatly a lot of burnout footage and such. Unfortunatly we were constrained with our choice of videos.

I suppose that my suggestion to you would have been to submit some footage.

Can't have your cake and eat it too man

 

i cant see the video all there is is sound

 

If you are experiencing playback problems it is because your media player is out of date or does not have the correct decoder.

Thanks brisk, newb mistake

So far so good, plenty of bandwith for the hosted video!

 

2nd video is better quality......put the girls from the first one in my car.....I mean in the 2nd video and it's a real hit!!!!!!

 

Same here.
I even installed the Nimo codec pack and still nothing.

Why create a video in a format people can't play??

How do I view the AVI vid? Please advise.

Lou

 

It's all relative.. people on Macs can't view Singraye's video without installing a seperate program either.

I chose to encode it using DIVX that way people on Macs and PCs can view it. (Even though a few folks on both sides wouldn't know how to use it.) In my experience, I've also found that DIVX compresses everything better making the file easier to download.

Stingraye chose to encode it as a .wmv, which makes it very easy to use for windows users. However much more difficult for mac and linux users.

Neither way is correct or perfect, it's all about preference.

 

What happened to generic MPEG codecs? MPG and MOV files can be played almost anywhere in the world. I agree, WMV is a big pain, especially for 90% of the world that doesn't use XP. I agree with your view on DivX but it's just a big pain in the behind to install extra codecs that don't even work. I have four computers here at work: XP, XP, 2k, 2k. None of them can play the video even after I installed the codec. Not a good statistics.

 

I think then it's safe to assume that the codec is wrong.

That finally worked, thanks man!

BTW: next time, leave the chicks there for more than split second if you know what I mean.
(Oh .... and easy on the fat-*** blondes. )

 

Awesome, I'm glad it worked out for you.

I'll put your advice in the back of my head for next time

 

stingray all the way. drifting shot, dragracing shot, slow cruising shot, high speed pass shot, exelent cuts for an amature video, synchronised with the crappy music. and of course alot of lame *** burnouts.

no shameless titty shots.

both did well though.

 

i have to go with stingray on this on better image quality, minute longer.

i do agree with outhers though way to many burn outs but you can only work with what your sent. speed shots are cool walk arounds drive bys somthing thats not beating the car...

nice job guys both are better than what i could do...

jeff

 

I already like the second one just because my car is in it near the end watching the first in just a sec. will vote afterwards

 

Thaks for the compliments guys. I had a lot of fun making the video this time around. I really liked DigitalMonarch0's video as well, I knew he would be good competition which made it all that much more fun to know I had to do a good job. As far as the burnouts and such, like a couple of you mentioned it all in the video selection that we had to work with. All in all I think both videos came out well for really trying to do this whole thing pretty quick and having a limited library to use. Thanks again guys, always glad to add more thirdgen related media!

stingraye

 

I'm going to give this one to Stingraye Did a nice edit job with alot of diffrent cars and shots.

Both of you did a great Job!

 

I liked both, they both used my car :-D

fyi i was the black 91 TA doing the drifting and the walk around shot and the pull up to shot heheheheh

 

hey I made stingraye's opening shot, sweet.

 

what did you do the intro in, it was a nice touch

 

My intro? It was actually just a series of incremental pictures that I faded into each other. It took me nearly as long to get the whole intro right (right picture size, right time on the fades, etc) as it nearly did the whole rest of the video! But it was worth it.

 

Alright first off great job to both of yous. I feel this competition as being alittle unfair because one video was made awhile ago (digi). I have to admit I watched that video so much I can tell you every part of it. Everyone likes a new video since older ones will get a little boring after awhile. My vote goes to dig just because of how the video was put together. The transitions, the music it was all great, has a good feeling to it. Good job dig more power to you

 

neither are working for me and i downloaded both codecs, For the first video i just get a teal firebird with an LS1 and it stays on the picture the whole video, and video #2 gets abour 1/4 the way through and says its corrupted. this is becoming very frustrating for such a simple task

 

Just download DivX Player

 

this
http://download.divxmovies.com/DivXPlay.exe ?

if so then that didnt do ****

 

What are you trying to play the second file (mine) in? It's just a standard .wmv because I figured 98.2% of the people on here would be using windows. That's the first i've heard anyone having a problem watching mine, only thing I can figure is something happened 25% into the download that screwed it up, in which case just try downloading it again, shouldn't really be any tricks to it. Goodluck, sorry for the frustration.

 

this one

http://www.divx.com/

The free one not the trial

 

your video finally works, nice by the way but the first one just shows a teal ls1 firebird through the whole video. I can hear everything i just can see the teal firebird and the ls1 engine.

 

My computer did the same thing with his video too. Once I downloaded divx player, and the divx codecs, I went back and played it in Windows media player. A lil divx task tray icon would pop up while it was playing in WMP to show it was using the codecs, and that was how I got it to play the best.

 

alright there both playing now but #1 has some distortion to it

 

Another vote for Stingraye...

DM's would have been decent had it not ****ed up shortly after the title screen.

 

Hehe saw my car twice in DigitalMonarch0's vid but.... even with the divx player, it was still screwed up looking. (maybe I have too old a version) Liked the drag racing in Stingraye's and the fact it played with no problems. I vote Stingraye.

 

i voted for stingray. i liked how u made the black and the red camaros doing donuts kinda link together...(dunno if that made sense or not). urs had some better footage as well. digital monarchs definately had the better soundtrack. i liked how u made the pics flash witht the beat of the song. that was cool.

 

Stingraye all the way!

Great opening and closing splashes!

 

Both were good videos.
Voted for Stingrays vid though, since it was put together a bit nicer.
My Speedo clip was in Monarch0's vid and there was a pic of my car in the title sequence.

 

whats the name of the songs in both videos?

 

My video's song was by Killswitch Engage - The End of Heatache. I believe DM's song was by Rob zombie - Demon Speeding.

 

nope try switchfoot

 

Switchfoot, was in neither video. Monarch had M. Manson, and Rob Zombie as said.

I voted stingraye. But both vids were awesome

 

DigitalMonarch0 because of the chicks

Good job both of you

 

anybody know where articWS6's video's went after the site crash. i love those video's but can't seem to find them anywhere.

 

By the way both were excellent movies... both had to much burn outs in them. still awesome and alot better than i could ever do. i just hope to be in one one day.
