Here is a the almost final version of the video for goneMoab.

The sound clips, and at points the music doesn't match the video, but you'll get the idea.

I'm waiting on some footage from other people, so I'll just be edited in, so it's not going to be too different.

After the 4 minute mark, it becomes pretty dull. And it's pretty obvious why I don't have any footage past Golden Spike.

176 meg MPEG1

Edit: Change the domain over a year later for the hell of it.

Nice!


That picture at the end brought a tear to my eye........

That was a really cool video!!
Who is the music by?

Excellent! Music was sweet too, let us know who the bands were.

Also, nice touch at the end.

Beautiful video is usual. I liked the split screen of you driving out. Glad to see you got my admission of losing Big Hair Todd and The Tierods at the Kum and Go

Great editing. I love your work Jorge.

Damn you bastards, you're making me want one of those lever things. Looking at still photos I've basically been like "that's just stupid, why do that crap" but seeing it in motion makes it look fun.

Btw, is that Dan with something broke at about 4:40?

Very nice video. I like all the shots of my truck.

Nice! What'd ya use to produce it?

RJ's door cleaned up nicely...

Brent

Are you being serious?

Sweet video as usual Jorge...I hope you continue to post pics/vids of your adventures even though you are now a proud Heep owner... Just bustin on you!! With your video skills you should go work for TGR or something like that...

very nice video..

Steve...it was a trail incident between Brent and I where there was poor communication and poor recovery involved.

Other than that....No, Brent!!...the door still got it's dents and stripes.

I knew that. That's why I was asking if he was serious

oh...my bad!...watching the video made me dizzy and must have knocked some screws loose in me not to think straight.

I forgot that everyone was able to see the dents from a mile away...Thanks Brent for the memories

Thanks guys for all your kind words. For next time I have to get in sync with everyone who has a MiniDV camera, so everyone's footage can be put in one video.

Thanks, in order of appearance (?):
The Get Up Kids - Man Of Conviction
The Weakerthans - One Great City!
Spitalfield - I Loved the Way She Said "L.A."
Jets to Brazil - Wish List

See, I got alot of footage of you.

You'd be amazed how many possible camera mounting locations a TJ has. I'm also planing on doing a video for the NeXterra run and ECXC (Hopefully MobyCat will help some too ) . When those are done I'm hoping to put them all on DVD and give them out to people.

Great video. The music kicks ass too!

Also, about the intro, I had bigger ideas for it, but it came out a bit lame. But of course not lame enough to cut it.

That part about losing Todd...was that in New Castle, Colorado? The Kum and Go right off the exit, through the stop and on the left? Looks like my home town (New Castle) which means you guys went right by my parents' house.

And you didn't stop by and say 'Hi'...

Great video Jorge.
I like the human element in it.

That Kum and Go is at the second exit for Glenwood Springs heading West, and is about dead center between home and Moab.

2 things-
1. It took over 47 minutes to load and wouldn't play when it had. Is there anyway to view it (compressed file?, etc.) aside from my buying a new computer? :rolleyes:
2. I've still got an hour of MiniDV hillclimbs and recoveries only a few AZXC have seen..

It's an MPEG1, just about any player will play this.

Try downloading it first and watching it later. I know it's big, but just about everyone has broadband at this point, which can easily stream this.

I'll make smaller versions later, Divx too.

Thanks J, Yeah, I've got broadband connection w/ Penti 1 processor I'll try downloading 1st. EDIT- That worked much better! Nicely done, and I'm not sure what Ian and I were looking at (4:40), Damage was incurred on Steel Bender the 2nd day, that footage is amidst the Fins-n-things tape(day 1). Lions Back's dizzying even in video
BTW, Congrats on your new ride, bring it down here to AZ and we'll rip it up..

Bummer, didn't show up much in the video anyway. Still cringe when I think about that one...

Great video Jorge.
I like the human element in it.

Jorge, excellent video. It gives a different perspective with it in fast motion. Although, now I can't get the Benny Hill music out of my head! (I watched it at work on mute)

Hey LAXterra, can you give me the specs on your 10 camera setup. I've been looking at doing the same sort of thing. Thanks.

- What type of cameras are you using?
- Where did you get them from?
- Are you using some sort of switching box to go from one camera to the next?
- Are they going to a VCR or a DV deck?

Nice,

I always put together a video as well. This year I have a new MiniDV if you want to use some of the footage.

Roper and Ebert would be proud. Very nice tunes as well. Good times, Good memmories. After all thats the only bagage aloud on the last trip.

I finally had time to watch the video, and I gotta say it was very impressive. Good editing, good shots, good tunes.



The ending was a little sad, though.

well I have been trying off an on for about 30 minutes now to get the video. Guess the server is down. www.njax.org wont even load.

Same thing here!

Me too... Not getting DNS.
Tried from route-server.colt.net as well.
No can go.

C:\>tracert www.njax.org
Unable to resolve target system name www.njax.org.

route-server>traceroute www.njax.org
Translating "www.njax.org"...domain server (212.74.64.34) (212.74.64.42)
% Unrecognized host or address.

Let us know when its back up.

-Jeremy

over 24 hours later and www.njax.org is still down. Is that hosted on jorge's home server? maybe he is having connection issues.

No, not my home server, it isn't like XF.

I have a co-location, which if you don't know, is a server you build/buy and send it to be hosted elsewhere. The advantage to this is that it's cheaper and you can build whatever server you want and not get charged extra for adding memory.

Now the problem started 2 days ago, the connection to the server was really slow, but it seemed to work. So slow that I couldn't shell in. So I called to get it rebooted it. I was out the whole day and when I came back, it was down.

So I called again, and they rebooted it again. I was busy all yesterday and when I got back, it was still down. So this morning I call, and guess what, they don't reboot it, and not they're going to see what the actual problem is.

It's pretty sad, this server has been up there for over 3 years, and never has gone down without there being a freak accident like the power outage and somehow they managed to not connect mine to a UPS (bastards).

Well, being that the DNS is on the same server it'll never resolve.

The server name is ns1.induktion.com (66.221.106.50)

Tis up.

Thanks a million jorge. It was well worth the wait. Outstanding work.

-Jeremy

Amazing video. Nice work Jorge.

I was sorry to hear about the X.
Enjoy the Jeep and keep up the great film work!

Jorge,
Very very nice. What kind of Jeep did you get?

I think he got a Ruby...

Don't get any ideas there.

Excellent vid... Sorry you lost your truck.

Got any pics of how you mounted the camera to the front and sides of the X?

Great video

Nice!! Got it to download in under 15 min. That is sweet! Sorry about your X guy.

Does Ian's bird say anything cool?

Just wanted to add that the soundtrack to the movie is awesome. i have never heard of the "jets of brazil" before this movie. now that song is stuck in my head constantly... so thank you ! the other music is very good too, thats just my favorite.

If by cool you mean "Hello" then ya. I wish I had my camera handy when it was showing the cats who's boss.

Ahhhhh, Jorge.

MAD PROPS to you for this video. Never has an 11+min video been so worth downloading. I can't wait for you to continue the saga for years to come. I can't wait to see where else you'll mount the "Xterra-cam"....Take care, man!

He'll be mounting the Xterra-cam in his 04 Wrangler next...

<>

Have you been living under a rock for the last month?

Great video hope to make it next Year. I feel your pain in regards to your lose of your X take care hope you get another X

X2

Sorry I should of read all the post first good luck on you new Wrangler X I was looking at a rubicon or a Land Rover Disco

Jorge... What video editing program did you use to create the mpeg? It was asked earlier in the thread, but didn't get a response... So I'm politely asking again... What program did ya use!?

Thanks man...

- Air B

BTW. Great video

What did I use to create the actual MPEG? That would be TMPEGenc . It's a free encoder. I usually output the video to an uncompressed AVI and convert it to Divx, MPEG1, MPEG2 from there. For encoding in DIVX I use VirtualDub .

Now if you're talking about the actual editing, I use Adobe Premiere. It's a neat little program, complex enough to do make nice videos, but easy enough to not take forever to learn.

I am still completely lost when using Avid.

Where did you learn to use Premiere ?
Do you know where I could find tutorials or anything similar.
I tried using it, but was so lost compared to Pinnacle Studio.

You got skills ! Nice editing.

Actually, I learned it from just using it and reading books. The Adobe "Classroom in a book" series are the best.

Whatever you do, don't go for the dummy books.

Cooool video. If Nissan used some clips like these in commercial they would hit a whole new market.
Good Job
