I thought that when you choose progressive scan there is no need for any Interpolation, or any other settings that affect the fields.

I think you should experiment with these settings although I think that “none” will be ok

Use progressive scan and you are going to be ok

Ι think it’s ok but lets here what others have to say.
Bigtime - squidhead - Mp3 Astra -blackbird0 where are you? say something

Yeah more is better for sure but I think at least 10min long with 5 cars is a good start.

Squidhead what say you? 5 cars is a bit too much for a drift replay (the replay action choise is free?) though. He might have a different opinion in that.

Define what kind of replay must be posted.
min length, least number of cars, etc

I say a replay must be at least 15min long with hmm lets say at least 10 cars?
Or less? What do you say?


Or there is no need to do that at all?

Hmm maybe if I can get inspired by that replay I will give it a try making a movie.
That’s a good motivation


I don't think I have any good replay to share though and I don't think that replays with just teammates action is what we need here... this is not going to be a team promo I quess

The helicam was not bad in generall. It could be better having more zoom to the action and being better controlled by hand, not just following a car.
The same applies to any default camera.

Just to clarify that, camera decisions weren’t completely wrong, the video could be better with some more effort.

Squid is allergic to standard (game's default) cameras. (helicopter cam, car following cam , drivers eye cam etc)

Well the shots might not be great but they are enough to transfer the tense of the battle.
Nice action

Nice ideas man. I liked the transitions.
It’s hard work that skin changing trick cause you have to record anything twice and then overlay the vids.
It’s ok with standard cameras but by using shift + U it is really a pain to get it right…



RIP to the casualties

Yeah it just happens, it’s not necessarily connected to something else.
It’s just the human mind that tends to believe strange things.

Lool nice chair
Have you made the proper physics calculations so it can hold a human on it?

In any kind of program (ok mayby not on high level-user friendly programing suites) you define what kind of data you are going to give. But this is way too easy to not be understood by someone who is interested about how a cpu handles that.

Maybe I don't get your question?

Silly me
I am on a pc with 56k connection these days and I just give a quick look at threads - posts so I must have missed that bit.
And I was wondering how can it be only 300k

I hope this report wasn't complete waste of time

Yes it does that with any set, even with defaults.

I did try to load vehicle data before loading a setup for that car, but then again an other error message appears, this time from win, “AppName: vhpa.exe AppVer: 3.1.0.2 ModName: oleaut32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00004cb4

Also it freezes by just loading FOX vehicle data. Error message “Run time error – Overflow”

Did you try to download the files you have attached? maybe there is something missing?
Or I just have problems with my hardware setup?? Tomorrow I will be in front of my main pc so I will test it there again.
(btw older VHPA vertions work fine here )


Anyway attached a setup but if any other setup works with your VHPA vertion, then I guess this is going to load fine too.

I hope it's an easy one.

When I try to open any setup file, I get an error message from the app “run time error – Subscript out of range”

Upload them on youtube for low ress and the high ress somewhere else eg filefront or even crapidshare and megauload…

Veoh has good image quality but realy low FPS (only 15)
divxvine says “Sorry, downloads have been disabled for a few days”
lfsvideo takes ages to load (I get 5-20 kb/sec from there)
And I haven’t figured out how hostmedia works… but there is no way I will install any add on from any site of this kind in order to play a vid.

So I only saw the veoh vertion and some sec from lfsvideo…

Nice image quality, effects and editing in generall. also I like the music.
It’s just the car banger-racing content that doesn’t interest me.

Nice vid overall.
As for the low frame rate it’s hard to tell if it is the creators’s fault because veoh streams the video in 15fps…

:eek:

There are tons of videos out there using copyrighted music how they can be bothered with LFS videos.
Some touchy viewer must have reported your video.:doh:


Don't have any infos about that but I will have it in mind (already searching)

The database you are taking about should appear here but I haven’t found anything really useful yet..

Good job as always.
I think that you should watch how often you use rolled cameras because in some shots it doesn’t fit.

As for the music licensing for public use in videos etc it’s a hard bit.
I think it’s not the same to buy a license for yourself as you do in I-tunes

Nice informative vids.
I find that it helps to have the visual steering wheel on in those cases and also as squidhead said it is better to freeze the video and overlay the text. It helps you imagine how to apply the instructions given on course.

Why to me is more like a speed hack or something? There is no acceleration whatsoever… the car from stationary state just gets moving with 500+km/h.

Good viceo. All cameras show that you tried to carefully pick them but some looked like imitations from other successful movies
Eg the camera showing the road passing at the beginning, it’s really used a lot from others, especially from the LFS Spain community.

If you have a lot of text info to show it’s not that bad to use it once again but you could have chose something a bit more interesting for just the “Spangler presents”.

Moving on the next camera is really nice, the following scene again is too regular and then again a nice camera with interesting FOV and height change, that could be in good use also showing some action.

The racing action shots are good but I agree with Big Time that they make the video repetitive because most of them are shot with the camera on the ground and in some points this leads you in mistakes.
e.g at 1.13 there is no way a real cameraman would be so low, ending his shot showing the pit wall…
Same story on 1.27 and we have to see the same shot again in 1.36.
And again at 1.57 where the camera is so low that formulas are hidden behind the tires, waiting 3 seconds to see them passing. In a slow motion movie with proper music it may look artistic but now it spoils the rhythm.
After a while (2.08) we see again the same shot you used in the beginning (0.27), I don’t know if it’s only me but I don’t like exact scene repetitions in a 3 min movie.

The image quality was really good and generally you can see the effort put in that vid.
But it could be a lot better in terms of content if you try to avoid some "mistakes".

In a closed fully predicted racing environment, alcohol or any drug doesn’t have that bad effect. In some cases you may think it helps you, maby because it calms you down and do spoother moovements or just it boosts your confidence-concentration to your screen and nothing else.

But don’t be fooled…

In open roads when you have to cope with the unexpected it’s more than crucial.:tombstone

Most have already said that.
Don’t think about it. If you are bored take a brake.
A good motivation may be the progress of your team, some league races etc.
Till the end of 2007 my connection was useless and I couldnl't race online not even in 10car grids... my only motivation to continue playing was setup making for my teammates...

I know I will play LFS as long it exists. So I am not worried if I stop playing for a month or so. (which I do regularly)
Its live for speed not loose your real life for speed.
