Shoulda listened to me Leroy

[Leroy Peterson]

well its costing me nothing to sit here and wait.

speaking of waiting... TV2 back online. not much of a drop after being halted for 6 weeks, might be a good time to jump on. but, following my logic. probably a good time to sell.

family christmas on sunday. then both parent's birthday 2 days after. havent got anyone anything. only in melbourne tomorrow and sunday. balls. might organise some people and take dad to Little River shooting range. reading through reggs and its nowhere near as flexible as it used to be. if you're not part of the club (licensed or not) theres very little you can do. pretty shit. how do you expect to get people into target and trap shooting? .22's at sandown gun range?

[blah_blah]

TLDR

 

So whats changed with torrents?

 

Still safe to download?

[JAS-25T]

TLDR answer

yes. may or may not be harder to find though.

[Birds]

Sandown have done the opposite and made it easier over the years. You can rock up without a licence and be shooting as they're watching over you, or if a licenced shooter takes an unlicenced shooter along they'll leave you to do your own thing.

You still can't staple pictures of people to the timber though...

Whilst I still think 88E will slump again in the short term, the current news is great for long term holders

Reading between the lines, you don't bid on another 150,000 acres of land if there's nothing special under there...

I think it's illegal to be this accurate with predictions

If only 88E could be short sold

Still safe to download torrents, but they are trying to block websites that give them to you like the pirate bay etc. Basically nothing to worry about as there's a million other sites.

Don't quite have 100k or like my chances of getting a loan secured against a spec stock lol

Watching gopro footage from yesterday at PI, sound works fine on the laptop.. tried streaming from laptop to WDTV, sound works for a few seconds then nothing, video is pretty laggy too... so moved the file to the network HDD and played through WDTV (like I do with all shows/movies) same thing happened with the sound..

Am I missing something (apart from the sound...)

[UNR33L]

Sounds (pun intended) like a bandwidth problem, I'd suggest editing the video down (or compress to 720p / lower bitrate) to a smaller file size it sounds like it's massive file size? You can use the GoPro Quik software for desktop/laptop it's pretty easy to use and free.

Sandown gun range is like .22's and pistols only. Group I'm organising has shotguns and bigger rifles.

Yeah it was filmed in 2.7k so 3 something gb file... Just strange never had an issue playing 1080p movies over my network..

I've got the quik software, I like the gps features being automatically on videos, speed etc, but the software itself is far from great. No play controls when in full screen mode (unless they need to be turned on somehow?) need to press play everytime after searching forward or back in a clip... Little shit but pretty annoying considering its key job is to play videos..

Don't forget 2.7k has almost double the pixels of 1080p (about 1.6 million extra pixels or so) and there's other more complex things at work here too like bit rates. 

And yeah the Quik software is a bit shitty / fiddly I pretty much only use it for the GPS speed gauges and crop the clip I want out. Have you got the Hero 5? I got one the touch screen is pretty sweet. I just run 1080p at 60FPS wide lense, gives dat real life quickness feeling. 

[dezz]

Yeah hero 5 black.. Touch screen could be better but it does the job.. I was filming in 2.7 for the first few sessions but battery life was pretty bad so switched to 1080.. Still had to charge between sessions because it was dropping 20-25% per session... Not a big issue when you have power available though.
If you crop a clip can you make it so the speed etc still shows up in other players? Haven't tried that yet but I'm assuming after you actually make a clip in quik as opposed to just watching the videos in it, the gps data stays with the new clip?

Update the firmware on the gopro through the app on your iphone/android - it fixed my shitty battery life issues. 

Yeah turn on the gauges, then cut the clip section you like, click save, give it a file name, and done - once you open new clip it'll play with gauges with any video player

Final product (some practice around gokart track):
