Tour Battenkill Video

Seven minutes and fifteen seconds. That's the trt (total running time) of the Tour Battenkill sample video. Some real clean images considering that half the 100k was off road on dirt, in mud and over gravel replete with their respective craters, ruts and hidden debris.

The astute videophiles amongst you might even notice that the render codec has been changed to reflect some of YouTube's latest technology. You can now watch in 720p HD, which looks pretty sweet from by box. There is a menu box at the bottom of the screen where you can pick your playback resolution. Be forewarned that in order to watch in HD you need a very fast processor and a high-speed DSL (or equivalent) to watch without an annoying stutter or loss of streaming continuity.

Other than that, here is the ToB, America's Queen of the Classics, in stunning HD.

DK,

Sir, couldn't have done it without ya!

I am in DEEP negotiation with the ToC folks. They just asked for some sample video of how we now capture race day video. Guess what they got?

Thanks and have a great weekend. Are you back to the Battenkill Valley>

I was just the wheels, you captured it and made it work.
Very cool! Good luck with the AEG folk. Do hope to see you in Cali next month.

Yes, off to Battenkill for the Ride2Recovery on Saturday then the UCI sanctioned race on Sunday. The weather is going to be tough (rain) but then again they said that for the race last week.
