Check out this Video, It's a large file 80meg, but unfortunatly not the best file format. It does have Data Logging Overlaid on it though!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, very jumpy, I just posted without watching. I don't like that Format. The other format was a Much Larger file 600+meg, but ran smoothly.

I'll be testing the different output formats from the software and see what works best.

There should be a revision of the G2X software that will allow a Track map with Car locator on there within a week or two!!!!!!!!!!

What compression/decoder are you using?

Did you have any programs running when you were uploading, or reformatting?

THis was done using the TrackVision software. That version was done as a Microsoft Video Format, 720/480. I did another one as a DV format, but it came out to 1.3G, and it runs smoothly. I'm downloading and going to try a DivX format later today.


I'm just testing thing out at the moment with the TrackVision software as well as which formats to use to get small enough video to be able to post on the web.

The coolest things still is the DataLogging overlay!

Yup... pretty neat. Were you able to get any data from Vegas back in April? I remember you saying you had some kind of power glitches to work out so it wasn't quite working?

Unfortunatly no, I was never able to look into my power issues. Still haven't looked into it. Will be another project for this weekend, along with putting the replacement tranny in. Keeping my finger crossed all goes well so I can take the BMW to ButtonWillow and Willow next weekend.
