FB Movie featuring TrackIR

[Axel]

120 mb?? You film that in 35mm?

To big for 6 mins, i'm sure that can be brought down an awful lot.
It's a quicktime movie so i cant play it, i refuse to install that horrible stuff on my machine but thanks for trying.

It would have been so nice to of seen FB and TIR 'working' as well.

DivX is so mainstream now, I code everything with it. It really keeps the file size down. www.divx.com if you dont have the Codecs.

I made this vid (120mb) showcasing the TrackIR in enhanced mode--if anyone wants to take a look--over 6 minutes of footage

TrackIR works wonderfully--though I don't quite understand the AutoLoad feature--does that mean everytime you run FB, that trackIR automatically starts and loads the profile you have associated with the game? Or does it mean you have to have TrackIR already on, and when you launch FB, it auto loads the profile?

Anyway, here's the link to the movie! http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~chapman/fligh ... Review.mov

If BBQ can change the mov file to Divx like Charlie said he should be able to get the movie down to around 10-30 meg I belive.

If he can would be great to watch it

Lucky buggers haveing IL2 FB, we have got to wait another 2 weeks

Feel free to re-encode it all you like--I'm at work right now though--and can't do it myself (nor am I very good at choosing the right settings within the CODEC.)

BBQ how do you make a movie like that, do you need special external PC equipment or did you just use programs on your PC, im really intrested in makeing some stuff like that.

HotDog,

I'm using my digital Camcorder--when plugged into S-video out of my Geforce card, windows thinks it is another monitor. Then, I simply hit record on the miniDV camcorder when I want to start recording--it then records it to tape.

When I'm done recording, I firewire the raw, uncompressed footage back onto the computer as an avi file.

There is really no way to do it without external equipment--there are software solutions, but they take forever, generally look like crap, and end up being slideshows.

Thanks BBQ, as luck happens im getting a MiniDV digital cam this week .

Was the AVI movie smaller in footprint tham the .mov format ?? or was it larger
