I got a few emails about my cheapo camera mount and my first video, so I figured Id post one more. It looks great and fast on my computer, but uploaded online, it gets pixelated and slows down in the shadows. Sorry its not that great. http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b121/croser2/Lin k/?action=view¤t=video10-21-III.flv |

Nice! No shaking or wind noise. The pixelation thing.. Ride it like you stole it! (you know, that looks a lot like my bike ......headed for the garage) |

The pixelation is caused by video compression - the video stream is being reduced in size to take up less space/bandwidth. The compression may be done by Photobucket when you upload, or maybe on the fly at download time depending on your connection. You would have to get the original mpeg, avi (or whatever the original format from your camera was) to avoid the compression artifacts. That video won't be very tolerant of compression because video compression is based on recording differences between each frame, and when you are driving down a canyon with trees, leaves, etc. nearly everything is changing in each frame, so information is simply dropped instead. I'm honestly shocked how good that little home-grown handlebar mount worked! |

Please understand my next comment, I am not griping. I used an actual cam-corder, so that may be why my video came out TERRIBLE. I used a long piece, really bumpy, shortened it, better but not great. I am going to wait a while and get one of those fiber washer that you use for car batteries and see if that works. Unless it works better, I will be buying one of those exterior cameras that plug into a bigger camera. |

The first video doesn't do the pixelation. I think it may be from the second video being so sunny. But who knows. |
