Hi Jess that would be good to see you drop past one day and say hi always good to see your smile

Yeah think I will!! But when are you going to come racing again?? I'm sure the GTR needs some cobwebs swept away :banana: You would get a kick out of MRA!!!

ya i didnt compile it with sound ( not on purpose ) . it took 1'ish hours to compile on the notebook, so haven't been bothered to do it again.

plus the transition and some of the cut footage didnt render in smoothly, not really sure why. stupid premiere.

I asked the same question in the Vic section with no response as yet.....advice for youtube noob.

I have a vid that has an aspect ration of 720x576 yet when I upload it it appears as 4:3. How do I keep the aspect ration the same as the original file?

I found it to be such a nightmare when I first tried to edit with moviemaker and then upload. It would come up with green lines top and bottom, or be 4:3. Even one of those videos above is off. The reason the other one works well is because it wasn't edited at all, just a straight upload.

I asked the same questions mate: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ca...ne#entry4752760

Thanks Dane. The thing is that I have edited the clips using windows movie maker with no dramas. I can play the edited clips and the aspect ratio is spot on. However when I uploaded these clips to youtube they have been squashed to a 4:3 ratio.

Ok it appears there is a diff between uploading wmv and avi files. I managed to upload the avi's without youtube changing the aspect ratio.....

Two of my fastest runs at Haunted Hills over the weekend:

I was experiencing exactly the same thing, it was only when uploading them that they were changed by Youtube.

I was then havign to convert them to .avi's using another program, then upload them. Pain in the arse :down:

Speaking of things being painfull. I bought a new Canon SD card video camera. It takes good videos but appears to use a .mov file format which my dodgy Microsoft video editing software fails to recognise. Any ideas what I can use instead?

I can't remember what it's called, and don;t have it on this new computer, but if you look up file converting software you'll find some that can convert it from .mov to .avi, then you should be ok.

I bought "Pinnacle Studio", wasn't too expensive and unlike windows movie maker runs all the input and output formats you would want (WMM does not support HD or widescreen on win64). Also easy to use.

The GoPro HD I recently got outputs in mp4 format.

I use Xilisoft HD Video Converter to convert them to regular mpg then use MPEG-VCR to cut out the bits I dont want then convert them back into mp4. The end result after the cutting and converting is a file that is about 10% of the original size.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
