A weekend in Leuven (aka operation 66 pt2) THE VIDEO!

Post by petefarrell360 » 04 Dec 2006 11:17 pm

The video from the trip to Leuven, in Belgium, where a Daf 66 was delivered by FoggyJames, Pettaw, V6Man, Chris_C and Petefarrell360.

A great trip, many thanks to all involved and Aymat in Belgium!

I think we have some encoding issues there sir - firstly everything I have apart from Real Player (good call....would barely have thought to check that) seems to think it's in widescreen. Secondly, some of the white shades seem to have come over a bit DeKay....if you know what I mean ;) Finally, some cruel and vindictive codec writer appears to have developed an encoder which adds the music of Dire Straits to your chosen compilation :lol:

Encoding issues aside, it's a great vid, and seems to capture the spirit of the trip...albeit primarily the driving! I think we were having too much fun the rest of the time to do any more.

cheers

Yeah, Dekay cam is down to that sensor I've deduced as being the problem. You know when the screen was flickering. So camera number two is going back for repair when I get time. Annoying about the encoding. Aymat and myself have been talking and there are stupid differences between the versions of software too, making life even more difficult.

Alos mega thanks to SteveP, as otherwise the Dekay cam lense of pink doom would have engulfed the first pic and the ones of rupert on the roof completely, well the sky and all white.

Yes indeed, I need to grab a copy for my laptop.


Great vid Pete, despite D3K4Y cam.

The 'I say old fruit, anyone seen a channel port' comment was made because the sat-nav controlled 360 missed the turning to Calias port as the sat-nav thought it was going to the Chunnel. Needless to say the chaps in the 245 relied on the Mk1 Brain Nav and found the harbour easily........

Cheers Old Boy!

Yes the 360 did have a quick detour around a roundabout, then back along to the junction for the ferry instead of the tunnel thanks to Tom and Tom. However the two Tom's did excel at other routes and it was probably more to do with the man in the front playing with the detour after the hold ups on our planned route, I suspect! Rupert Rupert got the 240 there no problem, it was the moment when looking back at the 240, chaps, the 240 is indicating and now turning off here...... too late!

Hopefully Aymat has sorted the annoying encoding problem and will have the video rehosted soon!

I'm still impressed at the way Andy's 360 went round that roundabout, although it did tell me afterwards its never had to pull such an acceleration sideways before, and it likes having its legs stretched ;)

Didn't see it myself...I mean it's tight, of course, but it didn't seem out of the ordinary! Maybe it's because we were on tarmac :-P ;)

Yea, can't comment on that as I didn't see it either, though that may have something to do with taking the correct exit.......

Link now works once again!

http://www.volvo300mania.com/videos/v3m_meet_leuven.mpg

Right Click and Save As.

320 x 240, so 200% or full screens works quite well. It should now be a decent shape and not widescreen!

Great video Pete although as usual, the stealth camera strikes again, most of those sequences I had no idea the camera was even running :)
