Finally got round to buying a bullet cam to go with my Thomson Lyra 2850 and my identical twin stole my car and had a little play this lunchtime.

Out of bandwidth


I've been having problems with the Lyra losing AV Sync so have had to do a fair bit of fiddling to get it to work properly. May be forced to get drunk and order a DV camera this weekend.

Shameful didnt see the back end come out once! Top marks for listening to the Killers though :)

You’re gearbox seems heavy? a lot of clunks from it?

I was going to say the same thing, well, actually I was going to say "your gearbox" instead of "you are gearbox" :p

How many horses has that thing got under the bonnet?

File is rather on the large size. Any hints or tips on codecs and bitrates to use would be appreciated.

Gearbox isn't paticulary heavy, I've just never really liked the PG1 box and tend to be quite forceful with it. I think the clunks are the linkage but to be honest I've never really noticed before.
 
Nice video :D

I was expecting it to be mounted outside when I read bullet cam, but I think the camera was very well placed.

What you editing in? Well doesnt seem you have edited but what you using to encode in then?
 
Great Vid - love it :D

Car seems surprisingly stable over the lumps and bumps too, very well set up to be able to do that and still remain track focussed. :cool:

Lovely car mate.
 
hehe, nice vid :) might have to get round to trying the old webcam thing again, worked quite well last time i tried it but the vids weren't all that interesting, and i now have a new lappy with a decent number of usb ports so can run two cameras.... :D

edit: what do you use for your editing dangerious? don't think i really wanna use windows media thinger, tis rubish!

Cheers ears :) Car is pretty stable over the bumpy bits and that's on 6.5 year old Red Koni's. I'm currently trying to convince myself that Nitrons are the way forward this year but that does depend on me earning a bit more than I currently am. Did I mention that I'm about to get a transfer and a raise? ;)


Thanks to others for your nice comments :D

I got the asf file off the Lyra and used TMPGeng to demux the stream into the audio and video components and then multiplexed them back together (to solve the AV sync issue). I then used Virtual Dub to remove some of the boring bits and re-encode it to Xvid @ 500kbit.

Looks sweet, what speed did "your identical twin" get upto?
Click to expand...

He's actually my evil identical twin, he's got a little goatie and everything :p

Rumour has it (though I have no way of confirming) that top speed was somewhere in the region of 105-110mph.
 
Nice vid. Got to love elises, such brilliant machines, and that just makes me want even more :p

Loved the last bit when it the engine was almost just coming o song, wanting to go, assumed looking for appropriate overtaking point. Sounds great when giving it some :D
 
That video was well worth the wait! Awesome stuff :cool:

So, what engine is in that? I thought it was a Toyota, but since you mentioned the PG1 box I'm starting to think a K. Definitely has the same roar as a K.

Looks pretty damn quick though, and so much fun. I was grinning like a school girl through most of it! :D
