Freestyle Video - Latency

Robbie · 2006-07-29T14:54:24+00:00

Nick van Bockxmeer (nickvb123) and I noticed a distinct lack of freestyle videos on these forums recently. Trials and street seem to have really taken over, so we decided to help fill the gap with a pure freestyle video. Nick does all the riding because anything I can do, he can do it a lot smoother and he has a lot more tricks up his sleeve. So I took the role of camera-man for the video. The video is encoded with XviD to reduce the file size and to get the correct file sizes I wanted to be available as downloads. This means you will have to download XviD in order to play the video (DivX may also be able to play it, but don't take my word for it.) Best thing to do if you are unsure is download the video first and if it does not play, download and install the codec: http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml There are two different versions available: RIGHT CLICK THE LINK » SAVE TARGET AS[/B] LATENCY - HIGH QUALITY - ENCODED WITH XVID [49.2MB] (\"HTTP://WWW.UNICYCLIST.COM/GALLERY2/MAIN.PHP?G2_VIEW=CORE.DOWNLOADITEM&G2_ITEMID=223541&G2_SERIALNUMBER=2&G2_GALLERYSID=865CF515F79D4BAB48EE2C634462259E\") LATENCY - LOW QUALITY - ENCODED WITH XVID [24.6MB] (\"HTTP://WWW.UNICYCLIST.COM/GALLERY2/MAIN.PHP?G2_VIEW=CORE.DOWNLOADITEM&G2_ITEMID=223534&G2_SERIALNUMBER=2&G2_GALLERYSID=865CF515F79D4BAB48EE2C634462259E\") FIREFOX USERS ( NOTE: I THINK IT SHOULD WORK IF YOU FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE AS ABOVE, AND THEN RENAME THE FILE MAIN.PHP TO LATENCY.AVI - I'LL TRY AND GET BACK TO YOU ON THIS) If you are unsure about installing codecs, have a look at these pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvid If you have looked through that and decided you really don't want to install XviD (despite the fact that they are brilliant) or for some reason cannot play the above files, then the video is also available on YouTube: V9ceWECb1Nc Robbie -- Robbie [image: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/albums/greeny23-900/dr_z.gif] Greeny23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Robbie's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5302 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/51566

Nick van Bockxmeer (nickvb123) and I noticed a distinct lack of
freestyle videos on these forums recently. Trials and street seem to
have really taken over, so we decided to help fill the gap with a pure
freestyle video. Nick does all the riding because anything I can do, he
can do it a lot smoother and he has a lot more tricks up his sleeve. So
I took the role of camera-man for the video.
The video is encoded with XviD to reduce the file size and to get the
correct file sizes I wanted to be available as downloads. This means
you will have to download XviD in order to play the video (DivX may
also be able to play it, but don't take my word for it.) Best thing to
do if you are unsure is download the video first and if it does not
play, download and install the codec:
http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml
There are two different versions available:
RIGHT CLICK THE LINK » SAVE TARGET AS[/B]
LATENCY
- HIGH QUALITY - ENCODED WITH XVID [49.2MB] (\"HTTP://WWW.UNICYCLIST.COM/GALLERY2/MAIN.PHP?G2_VIEW=CORE.DOWNLOADITEM&G2_ITEMID=223541&G2_SERIALNUMBER=2&G2_GALLERYSID=865CF515F79D4BAB48EE2C634462259E\"😉
LATENCY
- LOW QUALITY - ENCODED WITH XVID [24.6MB] (\"HTTP://WWW.UNICYCLIST.COM/GALLERY2/MAIN.PHP?G2_VIEW=CORE.DOWNLOADITEM&G2_ITEMID=223534&G2_SERIALNUMBER=2&G2_GALLERYSID=865CF515F79D4BAB48EE2C634462259E\"😉
[B]FIREFOX USERS ( NOTE: I THINK IT SHOULD WORK IF YOU FOLLOW THE SAME
PROCEDURE AS ABOVE, AND THEN RENAME THE FILE MAIN.PHP TO LATENCY.AVI -
I'LL TRY AND GET BACK TO YOU ON THIS)
If you are unsure about installing codecs, have a look at these pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvid

If you have looked through that and decided you really don't want to
install XviD (despite the fact that they are brilliant) or for some
reason cannot play the above files, then the video is also available on
YouTube:

ARGH links dont seem to be a working. I guess we'll just have to settle
for the youtube version for now, the quality is good enough anyway.
Hopefully we'll fix it up so you can download the full movie rather
than just streaming it from youtube.
Please watch and enjoy the movie.
Nick.

What browser are you using, firefox tries to save a file named main.php
which I think is actually the video in disguise, I'm going to try
downloading it and then changing the extension to .avi which I think
should work.
As for Internet Explorer 6 which should be the most common browser, it
worked perfectly for me. If anyone else has any trouble with it please
just leave a note here and say what browser you're using.
[Edit]
I think I know what the problem is now, I think this is some form of
session variable in the URL
g2_GALLERYSID=6803e77832ffdeb025c6dd71732db2b9 other people that have
got theirs working seem to have a nicer string there.. not sure how to
fix it, but until then use the YouTube stream.

It's nice to finally see some freestyle videos. Since that is the style
that created street and trials.

Yeah i was just experimenting with pushing off from a static start and
we filmed for a few minutes and i started going further and further.
OWA??? I dont think so, the only WA im from is Western Australia.

new tricks.

He won't admit it, but we havn't had much practise riding the BC. I
think the fact that he was able to go backwards that far comes from
backwards freestyle skills, like backwards glide.

of (he spells it Nic I think) and you both do freestyle and are in Aus
