  1. Here's my first ride video. Sky Tavern is a short trail just outside of Reno, NV (I just rode it
    yesterday evening and slapped it together last night, it's a little rough). The other (Peavine
    Challenge) is a computer generated virtual ride (a much better version than the one I posted several
    months ago). At this time there is nothing else on the web site.

    tccycling.comvideos.htm

    A couple of questions:

    What is a good miniDV tape? I'm using Sony Premiums and I'm getting lots of dropouts (I've only used
    one tape so far). I am recording in SP mode on a brand new Sony DCR-PC105.

    I'm getting a very annoying clinking noise in the video. It's like two glasses clinking together.
    You can hear it if you listen closely to the audio. I can also hear it if I shake the camera,
    there's sometimes is a jump in the video and I'm wondering if the two are related. In any case I'm
    thinking this isn't normal and that I should return the camera?

    What are you useing as a camera holder? Is the camera moving around in it perhaps?

    Looks like a fun (but awfully dry!) ride.

    Did anyone else see a lot of line twitter (horizontal lines) in the video? Something to do with
    the encoder, maybe?

    Looks like it was interlaced, probably looks great on a TV 🙂

    I'll play around with the different deinterlacing and encoder settings.

    I'm using a Think Helmets Xjacket attached to my helmet. It's pretty snug. I think the problem is
    with the camera. I've sent it back for repair.

    For that kind of money it better be snug 🙂 Hopefully it's something minor they can fix without
    sending it to the camera samurai at the base of Mt. Fuji.
