...but downloading 220mb and not liking it isn't worth it :S
There are better options than youtube though, there is stage 6 which is really good quality, (DivX based but) It supports HD etc.

Those 2 sentences are a bit conflicting, no?
I mean stage6 doesn't resize or re-encode videos, so you're still downloading same amount of data, just with less clicking.
The reason why it's not on stage6, is because it wouldn't accept an xvid file, so

I am downloading now... but I think you are wrong about that desision.
If people like it, they are going to download the hi ress vertion

Well, I guess it can be true, but from personal experience I rarely watch video more than once, and if I feel lazy I just click the youtube link and that's it.
Also I didn't think it's a big issue, people are usually happy with direct download http-links, especially now that everyone have fast internets.

But well.. By now whoever wanted to see it, already got it anyway, so I uploaded it to the google video for others

Eg what exactly you want to show us in 5:39-5:44? Or 3.18-3.26?? I can feel that there are many scenes like those two that are fitted just in order to help you synchronize some other scenes.

First one is purely to make some syncing to the soundtrack (in addition to being an odd moment during race), and second.. well, video was primarily made for the team-mates to watch obviously, and some of them surely remember that moment too well You're right about filler-scenes. Audio-video sync was at high priority here, also I gave about 20s/weekend window, and played around that.

But thanks, I'll surely take in account whatever feedback people have the next time I'll decide to make something. If that moment ever comes, this thing was bloody exhausting. 28 half-an-hour races to replay, find good moments and record... I was about to give up for few times.

You can't blame me for not providing options in addition to torrent
And torrent is only there if you find servers too slow for whatever reason, the seed on that torrent should be pretty fast.

But if the internet is slow on your end, yeah, that's too bad.

Its a double edge sword, I'd like people to see it in full res (you just can't seriously compare 320-side with 1024-wide frame), but then again it's better if someone will see it in youtube quality than not at all. But if there was a youtube option, nobody at all would go for 220mb avi.

Thanks

If anyone making movies happens to look at this thread, I have a question. You've noticed how jerky is the steering wheel movement in this video, but I've seen some videos where it's perfectly smooth like in spr replays. How do I do that?

We had yet another great season of racing, so I made a movie about it

It's 1024x576@30fps, so the size is not small at 220mb, but you get many alternatives to get the file:

Torrent: http://misc.techzonline.net/lf ... eason.6.(MXM).avi.torrent
Http 1: http://misc.techzonline.net/lfs/FG.Season.6.(MXM).avi
Http 2: http://mxm.name/lfs/FG.Season.6.(MXM).avi
FlyUpload: http://flyupload.com/get?fid=5921619

And if you really don't want to waste your time/bandwidth here's the terrible quality google-video version:

Well, that was a first for me. Pretty good racing overall, but a bit too much looking into the mirror for my taste (yes, GT2). I have very little experience in that kind of thing, so when a MUCH faster car approaches when I'm just entering a corner, I start to panic a little I don't think I've caused any troubles except for myself 'tho...
