Figured I would post up a little something here. I've had my Sony HD camcorder for a while but I never tried converting it to mpg and actually showing people. So today I went out with my two friends and I did a little drive by, then he did one. I just was interested in seeing the before/after exhaust sound as I am picking up an HKS exhaust soon. That of course will be posted up in HD as well.

I wasn't really stomping on it b/c I'm still only around 750miles. Think the pass was 3rd @ around 4500rpm. Probably should've went to like 5200 for a little bit raspier note but... whatever you get the idea and it's a decent baseline.

EDIT: If you dont' have a download manager, go to Index of /img/WHITESTI and right click, save target as.

Here's my friend's 97 M3 w/ a Dinan kit and some Dinan tuning.

not working

The download links are working for me. Or do you mean the video isn't loading? It works in VLC Media Player and WMP in vista. Perhaps you're missing a codec or something? *shrug*

Very nice...

What Sony HD camera are you using?

I have the HDR HC7 and it works great.. I have made several HD videos of my STi and posted them to my webpage.. is a very good way to compare before and after mods... etc.

Thanks for shairing

Jeff your videos are always great. I need to get a camera like that.

[denver133]

Yeah what camera is that? I felt I was standing there just watching you take off.

[sysfailur]

Sony HDR-SR12. I'm liking it a lot! No filters or lenses were on, but I have a wide and a telephoto. I'll try and take some more vids as the mods progress. Video is always better than photos. And HD video is always better than SD video hehe

Checking out your vids. I'll have to watch and see how the quality is compared to mine. When I hook this baby up to my plasma it is SO CLEAR. I'd like to be able to show that quality of video if possible but not the .m2ts file type or w/e. Guess I'll just have to play around with it more.

EDIT: Just watched your videos. How are you rendering it in such a higher quality? I mean my camera is recording in 1080i so I know it can look better than what I rendered. Lemme know! Thanks!

I thought your videos looked very good too!

I use Sony Vegas Pro 8.0, capture in 1080i. I render the HQ video in MPEG-2 (.m2t) using HDV 1080-60i template. The file size is HUGE but quality is very good.

FYI.. you can save the .m2t files to a SONY Playstation and play them in HD over your HD TV...

[sysfailur]

My files however are .m2ts and will not open in Sony Vegas 8.0 oddly enough... they're both Sony products and they don't work as it is, unless I need to install a special add-on.

Also, that's pretty cool about saving it to a PS3 but.. it's already on my camera, so I usually just plug it in via an HDMI. That's why I know the image CAN look a lot better like yours, but I just had a bad render.

Anyway I'll check around for some Vegas plugins or something to get this working b/c right now it won't even let me edit .m2ts files.

Well you know what, I'm almost 50/50 on it now that I think about it. I'm also a fan of photography if done properly but video does get the other senses involved as well which is why I like it.

A well taken photograph on the other hand, with proper lighting in a great location is really hard to beat!

And another plus to photography is the lack of massive post processing and rendering. Perhaps a little touch up in PS is necessary but aside from that a well taken photo is near ready to go.

aw crap, add an HD cam to the list of expensive crap i wanna buy. gorgeous video and car.

[JAYMAC10]

I says I need a codec as well... I have experienced this kind of thing but it usually relates to PoRn I'm trying to watch!! lol

Anyone know what and where I can dowload the needed codec to play this vid?

Thanks,

Jay
