  1. Hey everyone, I put together a 9 minute clip of Inner Balance (including
    two not-before-seen shots) available for download.

    The 9 minute version is $7.99 to download, and can then be viewed on
    your computer or burnt to DVD using any DVD burning software.

    The file transfer is 380MB, and the end result is 720x480 (16:9)
    widescreen video.

    This download boils down to *89 cents per minute of riding* (and no
    shipping!) ; A very cost effective way to get to see some cool riding
    while supporting the next unicycling movie in the meantime!

    This is not meant to replace the DVD, as there is MUCH more to see on
    the full DVD, and not all of my favourite clips are on this 9 minute
    version

    EVEN OWNERS OF THE INNER BALANCE DVD WILL LIKE THIS, AS THE DIFFERENT
    EDITING 'JUST ABOUT' MAKES IT A WHOLE DIFFERENT MOVIE

    link to the downloadable file (and paypal link)
    http://tinyurl.com/2adeo2

    Please note I have to manually send the link to download once the
    paypal payment is received, your download will be available within 12
    hours of your purchase

    COKER RIDERS NEED TO GET THIS 🙂

    STREET RIDERS WHO ONLY LIKE STREET VIDEOS CAN SKIP IT

    Please PM me with any downloading problems, let's please not make this
    a technical support thread.

  3. Purchased.

    £3.5 for 10 minutes of fun. That's more expensive than beer, but you
    can't reuse beer, can you? And this one you can watch as many times as
    you wish.

  4. Brian-

    This is an interesting and perhaps superior way to market footage. Can
    any common DVD burning software convert your .mpg file to a .iso file
    so it can be burned on a DVD and then watched on a conventional NTSC
    television? The annoying thing I find with -Union- is that it is in PAL
    format and can be viewed on the computer but can't be viewed using a
    DVD player and television. I don't see a provision for converting .mpg
    to .iso in either Nero or DVDDecrypt.

    This is an .mpg format, easy to watch on computer, easy to burn using
    whatever burning software came with your buner. An iso is an image of
    a disc that makes an exact duplicate (like disc title, menus, etc...)
    (and i think you might need an iso thing to view it)

    I am also planning on a TWNR downloadable version is this goes well...

  6. There are a couple programs out that allows you to watch iso, bin, cue,
    and all those other image files without having to burn them to cd
    first. I use Daemon Tools for that.

    There are also a few programs out there that will take your mpg file
    and turn it into an iso, or pretty much any file into an iso file.

    I wish I could remember the names of the programs that I used to use
    for it, but I got rid of it a while ago and cant find the page for it.

  7. Most DVD players nowadays can play DivX files, so if you just burn it on
    a cd the same way you'd do it with a normal file, you should be
    alright, I think.

    I use Daemon Tools to watch .iso files with their virtual DVD ROM too.
    I don't know of a program that just converts .mpg to .iso. I know that
    Nero and DVDDecrypt, the two burner packages I use, don't recognize
    .mpg. I think Nero is what came with the two DVD RW's that I have.

    My original question to Brian really is: can this file be burned to DVD
    and then played on a home DVD player and viewed on a television? I
    don't see a straightforward way to do this, that's why I'm asking.
    Thanks.

    Stuff about video.

    This is all very interesting to someone who knows what they are doing
    but I can be excluded from that category. I see that you say that most
    DVD players can play DivX files these days. Brian says that his video
    is in .mpg format, not that it is a DivX file. Also, you mention
    burning it to a CD (not a DVD) the same way you'd do it with a normal
    file. What's a "normal" file?

  11. Okay, mpg is a format, DivX is a codec. It's a bit tricky.

    To put it on a CD(yes, it's only 380mbs), you just treat it the same
    way you'd treat an mp3 album or some pictures or documents or whatever.
    Open your burner program(like Nero), select the file and burn it. Then
    you just take the CD and it should work(assuming it's got the right
    codec, which I don't know).

    My download just disappeared to somewhere, but once I manage to
    download the file, I should be able to tell you more.

  14. Okay, I watched it. I think it's incredible! Definitely opened my eyese
    to new styles of riding... I loved all the city riding. And muni was
    great too.

    And those two-wheeled girraffes were insane.

    Inner Balance DVD is definitely on my "to buy" list now.

    Edit: oh, and the music is excellent! This is one film I'm gonna watch
    again and again, I'm sure.

  15. I'll probably download this later. As for burning it, I'd just import
    the mpg file into video editing software (Pinnacle Studio) and burn it
    using their tools to DVD. Seems like the easiest way of doing the
    conversion/etc

    I think an iso would be a better option from some aspects as it gives
    *you *the ability to put a nice front end menu on it, and stuff (not
    that there's going to be much) and it gives the *downloader *the
    ability to create a DVD with the minimum of fuss.

    Those that want to view it on their PC can either burn it to disc
    anyway, or use an iso mounter to view it, or even just extract the
    avesq.dat (or whatever its called) and rename it to a mpg file to view
    it, depending on how computer literate they are.

    Although having the option of either/both would be nice too 😄

  18. Brian-

    Cool mix of riding and nice music selection as usual. Where was der
    Uber Coker? You need a key feature like that if you want to stay in
    business. In fact, where was I? You film Tim but not me? What's up with
    that? I'm a way flashier dresser than Tim.

    I couldn't get any sound using wmv. It worked great with AVS DVD player
    and with PowerDVD. Naturally, QuickTime doesn't recognize it. I
    probably have other software that will play it as well. I'll have to
    try burning it on something and playing it on the DVD player now.
    Something's bound to work. I may try Ivan's approach and just burn the
    mpeg onto a CD and try it in my player. It plays CD's and MP3 files.

    I don't know what's the best way to distribute video files. If you send
    iso files folks will have to use some kind of virtual DVD ROM like
    Daemon Tools to play it on their computer or they'll have to burn it. I
    haven't found a way around that with .iso files yet but Daemon Tools is
    free. Iso files are ready to burn to DVD though and will play on NTSC
    systems.

    Thanks for experimenting with this sales approach. It will be
    interesting to see how it pans out. Been bowling lately with anyone who
    doesn't cheat?

    Tim exhibited some talent when it came to riding unicycles, so he made
    it in the movie, you only look hot in a lady's bikini, so you only got
    hidden in TWNR.

    The uber still has a place in the ride the lobster movie, should you be
    interested in getting it in there 🙂

  20. I was able to burn a video CD from the mpeg file using Nero. I have an
    OEM version of Nero without the DVD plugin. As a result, I am only able
    to get a 352x240 4:3 image even though the mpeg is 720x480 16:9. I was
    able to get a full resolution waterstamped .avi file burned onto a CD
    using AVS DVDtoGO. Both of these CD's were playable on my DVD player
    and I can watch them on the [censored] tube. The first one of course has low
    resolution and the second one of course has a waterstamp.

    I know that with some other software this can be done. I just don't
    have the free software that I need. If any of you video geniuses know
    what I want (the genius part means that you do, in fact, know what I
    want) and can recommend a free and intuitive to use package, please let
    me know. If you think you know what I want but in fact don't really
    know what I want, please don't respond and send me off after some
    software that will allow me to watch this video on my computer which I
    can already do 17 different ways.
