LETS SEE YOUR RIDE FOOTAGE

[yorkshire89]

Polar opposite trails, the second one for me please.

I'm usually one for golfie laps but gypsy glen was a nice change, the views were amazing and so much fun trying to pick lines blind down the natural trails

Is Gypsy Glen the long XC route you can do right opposite Glentress ? We fancied it last time we were there but the motor died on one of the bikes so we gave up on the idea!

Yeah that's the one, we rode up from Cardrona and it drops you down into Peebles, well worth another go next time you are up!

Time for another solo ride faff to try out the settings.

Brother tried out a rear view mount on our ride yesterday. Got some real nice footage of our dogos. Shame we didn't have any other footage to nix in with it to get a better impression of the scenery and the local area.

Sunday's ride at Gisburn containing a mention to @The Hodge within the first minute!

Contains Boardwalk, the climb to the summit (which I am referring to as The Bitch), Long Way Down, Long Way Home, Swoopy and Hope Line.

About 20 minutes all in. I would say 'enjoy' but you've probably all seen this sh!t before and will be bored senseless by it...

Fame at last...
I've nothing against boardwalks..really like their woodyness....unfortunately they don't like me and keep throwing me off ..( I was going to say tossing but remembered the type of characters on this forum and the comments that would follow)

Hootani

just experimenting with Vimeo to see what the quality is like compared to YouTube for quick phone uploads

and I didn’t mean to put a link, just embed the video like this !

 

[Tubby G]

Well that experiment seemed to work ok. It takes seconds to upload to the Vimeo phone app and the app appears to put the resolution at 1080 / 4k immediately, unlike YouTube which takes hours to upload and then publishes at an annoying 360p

 

[yorkshire89]

Dustiest I've seen hootanni for a while

Here's one from last night at Kilburn - Dark horse trail
Camera angles not the best and I'm a bit smoked after a big weekend, could hardly hold on by the end...
I'll try get some chesty/chin mount vids together soon, it's a bit nicer to see what's going on with the bike

Aah my local local trails, haven’t been up hood hill for a while mainly as the climb makes me cough my lungs up

 

[yorkshire89]

Yeah the climbs are brutal, ebike makes perfect sense there

I’m on the Rise now so the climb is still a battle

Did a test whilst on holibobs with vimeo too, much easier/faster than youtube but on a ( free ) basic plan you get 500 Mb weekly / 5GB total upload storage !! That would be eaten up in no time lol. I might have missed something but cant see me switching from youtube to Vimeo for them reasons ?

Aah, never noticed that. I’ve only uploaded 2 videos so far that are both less than a minute in length so probably didn’t get too close to the limit

That’s a shame, Vimeo is far easier & quicker to upload than YT. Suspect they then charge a monthly fee for more storage ?

Yeah and its pretty expensive if i recall correctly, the uploading time and quality was way better than YT for sure but the storage limit is a killer for me. Click on your profile and in there somewhere you can see your upload limits / usage, ive got rid of the app after testing so not entirely sure on the navigation.

 

[Slymobi]

P.s... im about 15 Pina colada's in atm so had to edit my grammer a few times sorry.

 

[VWsurfbum]

So I got out last night with @DJ57UMP around my local trails trying out the different settings that I've been looking at. I think for me the best result is the 4k at 50fps. will see how much this kills the battery/storage as last night less than 20 minutes were filmed the battery had gone, but that was with all settings on again. Next test with Bluetooth, voice, etc all off.

You’re video is already at 1080 x 50p too. 99% of YouTube videos posted on this forum default to 360p and I have to manually change to 760 (usually only option) before watching. How did you do that ?

 

[yorkshire89]

I notice when I first upload mine to youtube they'll be 360p but the HD version is processing in the background and won't be available for a while after.

YT might be automatically selecting a lower quality version based on your internet speed, unless it's just a setting you need to change? They seem to default to 1080p when I view a video

It is as @yorkshire89 explains, it will automatically default to your internet speed, you can upload in 5k if you wish but no point as most TV's or PC's wont be able to play it back at that rate.

My YouTube vids default to annoying 360p when first uploaded but I have the fastest internet speed on this planet

 

[VWsurfbum]

yeah thats bonkers, thats about 5 times mine?
What are you watching it on?

 

[Tubby G]

Various gadgets, depending what I’m using at the time

IPad Pro which is an HD screen, 1080p

IPhone 13 which I believe is also an HD screen

Dell laptop which is plugged into an AOC 4K monitor

TV screen is HD, usually cast from my phone via Chromecast. I usually always have to change the quality settings on YouTube vids if the channel is just a small DIY type such as we see on this forum, the only ones that seem to default to HD are the likes of Bernard Kerr’s LSD, GMBN, McTrail Rider etc (oh and now yours!)

 

[VWsurfbum]

I wish i had an answer?? how very odd.

 

[Tonybro]

It starts playing at lowest resolution whilst its monitoring sees what bandwidth you have and then should start upping the rate. You can always do it manually... Also YT/Google will be paying for bandwidth and so start lower as some people probably won't change it. Keeps their costs down...

BTW, @Tubby G that download speed looks a little pedestrian...

You have me licked on upload - you on Virgin?

I'm on Zen Fibre 1Gbps down and 100Mbps up (only getting 610Mbps as I'm upstairs on a Gb LAN with a Wireless backhaul to downstairs router!) ;-)

It’s FTTH, a new company, Zzoomm, cheaper than I was paying for around 70 Mbps download speed! They’re concentrating on small towns & villages first rather than all the cities like most other companies do

Damn I thought I was the fastest downloader in the North

 

[Tonybro]

Yeah, I'm fibre right to premises (FTTP).

Glad to see they are concentrating on the under-served communities first. B4RN do similar (Broadband 4 Rural North). I spent 25 years in the Telco sector...

Yes I think I meant FTTP not FTTH (got my home & properties mixed up!)

A chilled ride on the hills immediately behind the house …
