I loved that video - you have lots of good quality jumps and tricks, but
don't rely on those to make it watchable. It's the feel-good
chick-flick of the unicycle music video world... or something...

Nice work 🙂

That has got to be the most entertaining unicyling video that I've
watched. Very amusing 😄 😉

Impressive video. I liked the ice rink action. Very cool. The music fit
pretty well, too.

Nice vid. I was impressed that the tire stuck on the snowy ground for
those gaps.

The ice rink action looked like fun!

Thanks for all the responses! Riding on ice is pretty fun, just don't
put too much torque on the wheel.... It was a good day of riding, as
are pretty much all of our outings. Snow should definitely not deter
you from getting out there.

Fun stuff.

I got Q's though.

1. What kind of camera?
2. What format does your camera produce?

Cuz,

I'm amazed at the quality for the size of your video.
(My Kodak creates a .MOV of only 30 seconds for 14mb 🙁 )

I have a Sony DCR-TRV38 MiniDV video camera. I capture the video to my
computer in DV-AVI format, which is high quality and very large - ~200
MB for 1 minute of footage. I keep it in this format until I'm finished
the movie, at which point I have (in this case) a 604 MB avi file.

The quality/size you get in the end depends on the quality you start
with and whatever you use to do the compression. I currently use the
Windows Media Player 9 series encoder (freely available from Microsoft's
website) which is an MPEG-4 based encoder. You will get similar (or
better) results from other MPEG-4 based encoders as well (ie, DivX).

I've never tried to compress .mov files before so I'm not sure what
software is available to do that, but I'm sure you can find info online.
Maybe someone else who's done it can chime in. I find the following
site to have a wealth of information on pretty much anything you want to
do with video: http://www.videohelp.com

I started a thread in Just Conversation covering 'Converting from MOV to
MPEG or AVI' (http://tinyurl.com/6nyfs). People who have digicams that
take movie clips in MOV format were having problems compressing them to
make them smaller and/or importing them in to editing programs. I wrote
up the guides to help get more unicycling clips compressed and edited.

The alternative is to pay $30 (USD) for QuickTime Pro which can do basic
editing of MOV files and can convert MOV files to AVI. But why do that
when there are free tools available to do the same thing?

Great Video.

It is worth waiting for the large file, it was really good quality.

The riding was fantastic. Jason, I am amazed how high you can jump on a
Unicycle.

Wow, I can't believe I missed this one first time around...fantastic
video! Sorry to bring up this old thread, but I think anybody who
missed it like me will appreciate seeing it.

Great riding, great filming, very appropriate music...a really fun movie
to watch. 🙂

I love all those other movies in your gallery too. I'll get Peter to
add them to our movie list at www.unicycle.2ya.com .
