Some HD Youtube clips I have put up

[ßaller]

Hey everyone, I put a few HD clips on Youtube. Please check it out and give me feedback on video quality, are there any jerkiness in the video, besides me moving around the camcorder too much. Is the video playing back with stuttering in it?

I have found for me that letting the video play in standard definition first, then hitting the "HD" on bottom right hand of video and then "replay" gives best video playback for HD as long as you let the video buffer 100% before playing it.

Here are the links:

Vids look fine I guess.



btw, not to nit-pick but you know there's a difference between a parallel twin and a v-twin right?

Vids look OK. I think you're right about moving the camera too much, or at least in too jerky a fashion. It is also tilted from time to time, which is less than idea. If you are filming from a fixed location you may consider a swiveling tripod.

I know a guy that does good video of aerobatic flying. A tip he once gave was to attach a small level to the top of the camera, and watch the LCD viewer rather than using the eyepiece deal. Watching the viewer allows you to tell if you are being jerkey, and the level helps tell if you are tilting the camera when you don't want to be. He does some serious shooting now and is probably moved on past the point of having a level on his camera, but it helped him get good.

What kind of camera is that?

Video quality is higher quality than 95% of YouTube, that's for sure.

As Dan said, slow down your camera motions, or get a tripod.

I will start using my tripod once I go to shows. My sh!tty tripod sucks, especially panning left to right. I will get a bike tank cam this year when I am cruising around. If anybody can recommend a decent small tripod to fit in a backpack please let me know. I am hoping to take advantage of more high def video content at Youtube. Being a novice rider, I did mistake calling my bike a vtwin instead of parallel twin. If you notice the other video where my friend was asking why my bike sounded rough, I said, "...thats how it hears..." I guess I can't multitask by recording a video and speaking properly at the same time.

Well I hope to see some of you New England riders in the future, as my panny cam is coming along for the ride.

Thanks for the feedback's, I know its asking too much to see if something I posted is worth watching. I had tested about twenty videos, and some of them displayed jerkiness (with exception of my movement) due to high cpu spikes. The video typically plays fine at source on local computer, but looks like jerkiness/stuttering once uploaded and Youtube converts it to streaming web content.
