	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by Bob Kiger on Apr 8, 2005 at 6:17:13 am Your wife was correct to be scared. The downhill bike trip on Haleakala has over 130 curves, many of them 180+ degrees. I closed Cruiser Bob's in 1996 because I was sued out of existence by a sue happy family that took our insurance company for $1,000,000. I wanted to challenge in court but got the royal shaft by my partners and my insurance company. Two good things came out of Cruiser Bob's for me . . . both videography. 1. I shot over 150 trips down the mountain over 12 years, with cameras in every mount including helmet cam. 2. When I started looking pretty pro, with a JVC helmetcam and a Betacam SP in a backpack, the Park Rangers stopped me with a new law. No cameras (still or video) allowed on any two wheel vehicle in the National Park. So I've got an inside edge on my upcoming "Cruiser Bob's Volcano Bicycle Adventures" DVD, which is due for release in late summer. It's a feature length DVD with great slack key Hawaiian music and lots more. Spread the word and help me get back on track.

	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by Bob Kiger on Apr 9, 2005 at 4:23:52 pm I'm back with a 2 minute DV full screen m2v of the bike coming off the top of the volcano. It was edited in Premiere and I would like to reduce it's size to 320 x 240 and stream it in the most efficient way. It is designed to promote DVD sales My web authoring software is GoLive and I'm ready! BTW: Does anybody use a rollup of a disclaimer like the FBI thing while their movies are loading?

	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by mike velte on Apr 10, 2005 at 11:46:11 am For best results, export from Premiere's timeline (original DV source files) using Adobe Media Encoder as Windows Media Video. Use the "WM9 NTSC 512K Download" preset. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by Bob Kiger on Apr 10, 2005 at 12:16:09 pm Thanks Mike, Right now I doing an all nighter to try to clean up my GoLive relationship with the on-line server. As soon as all is clean, I will stream some video. Anybody out there that speaks "Go Live"? Bob Kiger aka Cruiser Bob . . . Author VIDEOGRAPHY!

	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by Bob Kiger on Apr 10, 2005 at 3:54:00 pm The "All Nighters" over and it is a beautiful Sunday morning here in Oceanside. My goal for today is to get the downhill video clip, which is now rendering in WMA9, onto my website today. Remembering that I'm a neophyte with GoLive, what is best technique from here?

	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by Bob Kiger on Apr 11, 2005 at 2:43:03 pm Hi Mike, It's not about FTP uploading . . . I've been doing that for years. It's about configuring the movie, which is now a good looking m2v into an optimal web streaming "script" for apparent quick loading by viewers. I would like to "distract" with a disclaimer, while the movie loads in the bg. Like a slide show over movie load. I'm using GoLive FWIW. Bob Kiger aka Cruiser Bob . . . Author VIDEOGRAPHY!

	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by mike velte on Apr 11, 2005 at 9:20:22 pm Bob is right on, Mpeg 2 wont play in Peroria or any place else, besides its way to high bitrate for web streaming. I dont embed video is a web page...it is too restrictive on the audience. I just link directly to the video file which then plays in a free standing player (WMP). I dont use GoLive, but in Front Page the code is writen from the Insert menu. Maybe Insert>Plug-in. Not sure what Bob has in mind for the odd frame size, but suggest keeping it 4:3 with both #'s divisable by 16, like 320 X 240...480 X 360. 400 kbps is fine.

	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by Bob Kiger on Apr 12, 2005 at 3:24:36 am Actually, so far I don't think I've made any big mistakes. I opened premiere pro and selected a segment which I then transformed using WMA9 at 512 default setting and got a file. That was according to an off-line message I got from Bob Hudson. I like the 320x240 size because it gives enough size to show the quality of the DVD show without being the show. I couldn't find it right away because it was saved as Sequence 2 directly into the website folder. It is 3:09 long and I would like to hold onto it . . . but it is 12,502 Kb. So . . . that's very big! What next mon capitans :) Bob Kiger aka Cruiser Bob . . . Author VIDEOGRAPHY! WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? copyrights 1972 - 2005 Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by Bob Kiger on Apr 12, 2005 at 4:55:17 am There is an old Hollywood producers saying: "You can have anything you want . . . FAST, GOOD and CHEAP . . . pick TWO!" I'm not sure how that relates to the compression parameters but my clip is a great compression challenge. First, the bike is coming off the top of a 10,000 foot volcano at speeds in excess of 35 mph. Second there are marquee titles running at the bottom of the frame CNN style. The motion of the titles can't be herky jerky so GOOD is definitely important for them and the motion artifacts of a moving bicycle. 320x240 is just a good size. Any smaller and you would lose the dynamism of the bike ride. That's FAST. So I guess I have to give up CHEAP . . . but I don't know what that means. Isn't there a technique where they punch a loading button and then have some task to do while it loads? Other forms of entertainment while it loads in b.g. That's not just compression genius . . . it's "Hollywood" Bob Kiger aka Cruiser Bob . . . Author VIDEOGRAPHY!

	Re: Cruiser Bob of Maui, huh? by Bob Kiger on Apr 12, 2005 at 4:59:29 am OK so I'll make another WMA9 pass and lower the quality settings from the pre-set level. If I can get it down to 6MB and keep the look then that's a solution. Will be back after rendering. Bob Kiger aka Cruiser Bob . . . Author VIDEOGRAPHY!
