Made my first video...Max VS Supra TT

Well I needed a video capture card so I went out and bought an ATI TV Wonder VE ($70CDN) and used Windows Movie Maker. Here is the result of my first video of me chasing a Supra TT at Mosport, Right Click Save As

that supra didn't seem like they were trying, or they just didn't know how to drive it. Great vids. What type of camera do you have?

MaxWolf, He was going pretty good, the video doesn't show the sensation of speed, but I know he can go faster. I talked to him after and he said he was going as he normal would but not crazy, which I still doubt it because last time (my first time on that track) I couldn't hold a candle to him. Still fun regardless! It was my friends old Panasonic S-VHS Camcorder, he rigged me up a headrest mount and the rest is history.

blubyu2k2, yes you should try it atleast once, and when you do you will never look at drag racing, drifting or what ever else the same, they just don't compare, still fun but can't compare. As for tires this particular track isn't that hard on tires, though the smaller tracks I go too are, but your brakes take a beating too. The JICs work very well, though they are a little soft for the track, but I wouldn't want them any harder as I drive it on the street.

Im still on the stock brakes so I doubt I would fair too well on road courses with longer straight aways and harder braking. I will make it out one day just for an experience. Drag racing will never get old too me for some reason though

I usually use my MP3 Codec to set the compression i like, you can use whatever codec you have or

please.




8:

Once the Audio Compression is select, move on to video, from the Video menu, select compression.




9:

I use the Divx Codec to compress my videos, most Serious Video Creators will already have Divx

Downloaded http://www.divx-digest.com/software/divxcodec5.html . You can go to configure and

tweak it how you wish, thats up to you. Key is more tweaking.. smaller videos..




10:

Once you have decided on your compression, you can move on to filters. So from the worded Menu

chose Video and then Filters.





11:

Once you have Filters selected, you will see alot of choices. Use Deinterlaced and click OK

For the Filter Deinterlace.. choose Blend fields together.




13:

Another Filter you can use is 2:1 reduction, however this will make your video half as big as it

is. One thing you can do is capture your video's twice as big as you want them and then use this

feature. However if your video is already the size you want, don't bother with this filter.





14:

Once you have your video filters done, click on OK




15:

Now you are ready to save your new file, go to File and choose Save Optimized As




16:

Now you will notice that i managed to save this video to be 1/2 of its original size and turst me

you will not lose any video quality on this method. I once cut down a 100 mb video to 20 mb

without losing any quality at all. Good Luck!!

Good driving! That guy in the Supra couldnt drive. If you were on a tighter course with smaller straights, he would have had to wave you by.
